The guys go back and forth over their thoughts of the 2025 CrossFit Games open, not just from an overall competition perspective, but also how it went inside the gym walls here at Bloodline CrossFit. Reminder, The Open is a great time of year to test ourselves and compete against each other - but our gym is much more than that. We have incredible athletes on the men's and women's side, but what's even more important to us, as coaches, is the community the community we continue to try and grow and prosper in this amazing place. Song - Just Lose ItArtist - Eminem

What happens when tragedy strikes at one of the most celebrated fitness events in the world? Hear from coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as we tackle the deeply felt repercussions of Lazar Đukić's tragic drowning at the CrossFit Games last year. This heartbreaking incident has not only fractured the CrossFit community but has also led to a substantial dip in Open registrations. Join us as we examine the actions of prominent athletes like Pat Vellner, Annie Thorisdottir, and Chandler Smith, who have stepped back from the 2025 Games season, and understand the ripple effects this has on the sport, both as a business and a community built on personal conviction and diverse viewpoints.The CrossFit community often blurs the lines between leaders and influencers, and we can't help but spotlight Chandler Smith's influential presence. Our time with key figures such as Patrick Vellner and Dave Castro gave us invaluable insights into the intricacies of leadership within CrossFit HQ. These interactions highlighted the camaraderie that the CrossFit Open fosters, even amidst recent turmoil. We explore how these events shape perceptions of CrossFit's leadership and discuss the need for discernment when choosing whom to follow.As the future of CrossFit unfolds, the tension between CrossFit HQ and professional athletes advocating for change is palpable. Our conversation pivots to the evolving relationship between CrossFit affiliates and the overarching brand, stressing the importance of community involvement over competitive edge. We encourage open dialogue and mutual appreciation, urging listeners to consider multiple perspectives. By embracing diverse viewpoints, we can better navigate the challenges of leadership and change within the vibrant world of CrossFit. Join us for a thoughtful discussion that aims to enrich and reshape our approach to fitness, community, and mindset.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness

Sorry for the language on this episode, but a "New Year, New Me" attitude is BS!!...and it was a fiery episode to say the least. High expectations for ones self, as well as those around them is not wrong. So many people need a kick in the butt and usually it comes from someone else...other times you have to be okay looking yourself in the mirror and telling yourself it's time to get my sh*t together!  Artist - Bryce VineSong - Take Me Home

The Crew get's together to discuss what is going on in their lives, the CrossFit Space and whatever else pops up for them.In this episode we talk WFP Signings and appearance on TEF.  How was everyone's Christmas? plus we dabble in everything else around the Holiday.00:00 Introduction00:50 CowCat02:42 Family Time during Christmas07:55 Television Talk10:22 Best Christmas Gift14:30 More Television Talk20:39 Details on the World Fitness Project41:19 Wrap Up

What does all this mean and are we really looking at one big Cluster?

The Crew get together to talk about what is going on leading up to the Christmas Holiday.  CrossFit provides details on the upcoming 2025 CrossFit Games Season... but was this the part we wanted explained?  and they actually do one thing the same as they did in the 2024 season.

We had a great interaction with a fellow gym owner around the area asking if we were going to consider having an intermediate division at the Bloodline Brawl this year, this episode touches a lot of different bases just from that one convo. We  hope you enjoy!!Artist - Kid LaroiSong - Nights Like This

We look at Dubai and Fit Fest both happening this weekend, in addition we explore the idea of boycotting the CrossFit Season.  Plus catch up with the Crew on everything happening in their lives.

It was a good episode to get some thoughts off of our minds for the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. The consistent theme of the episode is whether completion of goals were achieved or no goals were completed, the journey never stops and comfort is the enemy as you continue your fitness journey. Some people might look at this as a tough love episode, in our opinion it was a great chance to talk about improving your self assessment as you go through day to day training. Artist  - Aimee CartySong - 2 Days Into College
