After 20+ years of focusing on health, you might think we'd have it all figured out. But the truth is, the best gains still come from small, strategic tweaks - not dramatic overhauls.In Part 1 of our annual Five Factors Year in Review, we explore why structured intensity beats "just go hard" training, how mobility might be the unlocking factor you're ignoring, and why the simple nutrition habit of 30 grams of protein before 9am can transform your consistency.You'll discover why the Five Factors aren't independent pillars but ingredients in a stew - when you adjust one, you have to rebalance everything else. We break down the essential 20% across all five factors that deliver 80% of the results, and why going deeper into any single area actually works against you. This is about continuous refinement, not arriving at perfection.
-A VNR listener wants to know if someone cannot do a week of their scheduled programming because they are traveling for work, etc…when they return should they make up the week they missed? Or, should they jump right back in on the current day's workout & forget about the week they missed?-Pat & Adrian discuss this topic.

In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Cody and Justin, the owners of the brand-new CrossFit gym coming to Republic, Missouri — CrossFit Tribelent. The name says it all: Tribe + Relentless = Tribelent, and that mindset runs through everything they're building.

From long days, big goals, and plenty of challenges, Cody and Justin share what it really looks like behind the scenes of launching a fitness community from the ground up. The conversation naturally dives into competition, personal goals, and the importance of creating the right tribe — not just a place to work out, but a place where people feel supported, challenged, and welcomed.

A visible body transformation. And a mindset shift that carries far beyond the gym.And because this place is bigger than training alone, Abby also stepped up to organize our Alicia's Closet Toy Drive, helping make Christmas happen for around 50 kids in our community.Training builds strength. Community builds impact.

Learn how to embrace discomfort to build real wealth and thrive in the AI era. Embrace discomfort is the driving force behind every breakthrough in business, wealth-building, and personal growth — and this episode dives deep into why leaning into uncertainty is the only path forward. Charles and Garrett explore how confronting fear builds the muscle for success, why most financial advice keeps entrepreneurs stuck, and how to think differently about cash, investments, and protecting your wealth. The conversation also tackles the rapid rise of AI and why those who refuse to get uncomfortable and adapt will be left behind while others multiply their impact and income. Garrett Gunderson is a financial strategist and founder of Wealth Factory, helping self-made entrepreneurs build economic independence. Coming from a fourth-generation coal mining family in rural Utah, Garrett built his approach to wealth on blue-collar values and a mission to break the cycle of scarcity. He's the author of multiple books including Money Unmasked and is known for making complex financial concepts accessible. When he's not speaking on stages around the country, Garrett performs standup comedy and stays active with CrossFit. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Building confidence comes from repeatedly confronting discomfort, whether it's public speaking, dancing, or making tough financial decisions. Most financial advice is designed to benefit advisors, not entrepreneurs — question everything you've been taught about money. Cash isn't just king; it's the foundation that gives you options, opportunities, and protection against uncertainty. Giving away equity to partners is a mistake most entrepreneurs make multiple times before learning to protect what they've built. AI will create massive wealth for those who embrace it and widen the gap for those who resist change. Human purpose and strategic thinking are what separate thriving entrepreneurs from those replaced by technology. The speed of AI adoption will outpace most people's willingness to adapt, creating both opportunity and disruption. Legacy isn't just about money — it's about the values, skills, and independence you pass on to the next generation.

Weird and wonderful fitness races and challenges have been around for a while. Over the years, CrossFit has created a sport that provides the variety and spectacle we see in other sports, but now we are seeing many more styles of fitness races becoming very popular. Hyrox has gained a significant amount of momentum over the last couple of years and still seems to be on the way up. Athx is trying to create an event that sits somewhere between Hyrox and CrossFit, providing a one hour fitness race like Hyrox, spread across three different workouts that test strength, endurance and mixed modal fitness like CrossFit. Over the years, we have also seen different organisations and coaching companies create their own type of fitness race, such as the OPTathlon from OPT, now OPEX, and The Crucible from Complete Human Performance. In this episode, we talk about some of the key differences between these events, where they might complement each other, and what one type of event or race could learn from another.

Join Rich Froning as he sits down with former Navy SEAL Ian Schinelli for a deep dive into preparation, pressure, and what it takes to stay ready when it matters. From marathon and swim events for the SEAL Foundation to the realities of SEAL training, Ian breaks down how running, swimming, and thousands of reps built the foundation he needed long before stepping into BUD/S. He explains the shock of Hell Week, the mindset that keeps you from quitting, and why controlling your head is more important than controlling your body.The conversation turns to shared suffering—how CrossFit, hunting, and even long mountain days create the same kind of bond Ian found in the military. He and Rich talk about balancing training with real life, why community makes hard things possible, and what happens to your calm under pressure when the chaos hits.

The fastest way to figure out what people want is by asking the right clients the right questions.Today, Mike Warkentin sits down with gym owner Toni Roy of Breathe CrossFit to break down how the Pumpkin Plan transformed her business.Following the steps, Toni created a list of clients who bring her the most joy and a second list with her highest-value clients. Typically, a gym owner circles the clients on both lists to ID the members they want to replicate. In Toni's case, the groups had zero overlap. This insight pushed her to rethink her offerings and create a hybrid membership built around CrossFit, personal training and nutrition—a combo that delivers better results for clients and boosts average revenue per member.Now, regular Goal Review Sessions allow her to continue the conversation: She can catch problems early, celebrate successes and upgrade prescriptions to serve clients better. Toni also gives a behind-the-scenes look at the new-moms group she developed with her Two-Brain mentor. The support-centered program is already turning into a relationship-building referral funnel.

Topics • Anaheim weekend fatigue and the familiar Day 3 emotional swing • HYROX recovery zones and why unmanned spaces are a problem • Judging consistency, warnings vs. penalties, and the "foot on the line" issue • Wall balls: presentation vs. practicality, no-reps, and the box decision • Shoes off for wall balls and grip issues with newer balls • CrossFit criticism of HYROX and why it misses the point • Greyson Kilgore's medical incident and how the community responded • Recognizing danger signs vs. normal race pain • CNS load, cumulative racing, and when to pull the plug • Community, identity, and why HYROX hits differently • Anaheim course layout and spectator experience • Melbourne broadcast notes and on-air shoe marketing • Elite 15 qualification changes: what's confirmed vs. rumored • Doubles inclusion and January timing for details Summary Matt opens the show deep into Anaheim fatigue and the familiar HYROX arc where Day 3 feels brutal until racing resets everything. The conversation quickly turns to operational issues, including recovery zones, judging standards, and penalties, with frustration over unclear rules and inconsistent enforcement, particularly around wall balls and line calls. The episode centers on Greyson Kilgore's medical incident, with Greyson joining to explain what he felt during the race, how medical handled the situation, and why athletes need to distinguish between normal suffering and real warning signs. The discussion expands to cumulative load, ego, and the strength of the HYROX community, before wrapping with Anaheim course takeaways, Melbourne broadcast notes, and a clear split between what is confirmed and what remains rumored regarding Elite 15 qualification changes.

Tim Hepworth is a fly fishing guide, fly tier, dad, and former Primary Care Paramedic who brings heart, skill, and real-world grit to everything he does. Born and raised in central Alberta, Tim grew up in a family where the outdoors wasn't a weekend hobby—it was life. As the youngest of nine kids, he learned resilience, adaptability, and how to find joy in chaos long before he ever tied a fly or rowed a boat. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERSAfter working in CrossFit coaching and then making the leap into EMS, Tim found himself drawn deeply to the rhythms of nature—the quiet flow of rivers, the meditative cast, and the unexpected lessons that happen when you're rooted in a riverbed rather than an emergency scene. The birth of his daughter, Wren, marked a turning point: instead of shelving his outdoor life, he expanded it, bringing her along on the water and weaving parenthood into his connection to the sport. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERS+1Today, Tim is widely known for more than his guiding expertise on the Bow River. He's a co-host of Thursday Night Live Fly Tying, where his creativity at the vise and genuine personality have made him a respected voice in the fly tying community. Whether he's sharing a tying technique, rowing a drift boat, or helping someone experience their first trout, Tim's approach is always infused with warmth, humor, and a deep respect for the outdoors. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERSOutside of guiding and tying, his favorite fishing partner is his daughter, Wren—proof that fly fishing isn't just a career or hobby for Tim, but a lifelong way of being, teaching, and connecting. FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERS“If you're on the water, there's no such thing as a bad day.” — Tim Hepworth FLY FISHING BOW RIVER OUTFITTERS
In this episode, I go over one AI news item I can't stop thinking about, one trend you can build a business around, two tools I'm using, one startup idea you should steal, and one framework to end on. I start with a leak suggesting Anthropic is productizing “agent mode” for Claude with structured task buckets and a progress/context UI. Then I use Hyrox as an example of how I validate trends quickly with search data (and what “low competition + cheap CPC + explosive growth” signals). I wrap by pitching a hotel guest-communication concierge and the “thousand people framework” for getting to clarity on your ICP and what they'll reliably pay for. Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:32 – AI New Item: Anthropic leak: Agent Task Mode for Claude 04:47 – Trend: Hyrox 08:59 – AI App: Krea and Notebook LLM 12:23 – Startup idea: Digital Hotel Concierge 15:59 – Framework: The “1000 People” For founders doing $50k+ MRR+: https://startup-ideas-pod.link/offline-mode Key Points Agent workflows get “productized” when the UI guides the task (not just a blank prompt box). Trend validation can be fast: look for explosive growth + low competition + cheap CPC, then ideate apps around it. NotebookLM's slide generation is an underrated workflow for turning sources into clean decks. The “Guest Guide” concept is a simple AI/QR wedge: answer repetitive hotel questions and monetize per property. The thousand-people exercise forces clarity: who exactly buys, what they pay yearly, and how you reach them. Section Summaries The Claude Agent Mode Leak I break down a leak claiming Anthropic is preparing a more structured “agent mode” for Claude, organized into buckets like research, analyze, write, and build plus choices like depth, format, and outputs. The big shift is moving from “open chat” to “delegating distinct tasks” with visibility into progress and context. Productized Prompts = Better Output I explain why a blank text box can be daunting, and why UI that scaffolds intent (validate/compare/forecast, quick vs. thorough, doc vs. slides vs. spreadsheet) can make results meaningfully better. To me, it points at a future where you “check in” on agents like teammates. Trend Hunting I use Hyrox, an indoor fitness competition that's “like the new CrossFit,” as a real example of how I sanity-check whether something is becoming a business opportunity. The workflow is simple: I see it in culture, then I go straight to Idea Browser to pull search/CPC/competition signals. Two Tools I'm Testing I call out Krea as a creative AI subscription bundling multiple models, and then I highlight NotebookLM's slide/infographic feature as the underrated part—turning a source (including transcripts) into clean, well-designed slides with strong hierarchy. Steal This: Guest Guide I pitch a hotel digital concierge that handles common guest questions via QR-code guides, priced per property with affiliate upside, and I reference Sadie as an adjacent AI hospitality product (more on calls/reservations). Then I close with the “thousand people framework”: define the real ICP, map what they'll pay yearly, and figure out distribution—because clarity is the driver.

You've done the work. You've built the career, gone to therapy, read the books. So why does love still feel like the one area where your brilliance doesn't translate?Annie Lalla is a relationship cartographer with an Honors Science Degree in Biology and Philosophy, a minor in Buddhism, and professional certifications in Coaching, NLP, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Her work weaves evolutionary psychology, integral theory, intergenerational family systems, and therapeutic sexuality into a framework that actually works. She helps singles done with dating find their person—and couples in love resolve the conflicts that keep them stuck. Her mission: help you build a relationship that's a trampoline for your dreams and a sanctuary for your heart.In this episode, you'll discover:→ Why women are actually the visionary leaders of relationships—and what happens when they wait to be rescued instead→ The reason your partner triggers you so intensely (hint: you've time-traveled back to childhood)→ How to know if overwhelming emotions are actually yours—or inherited pain you've been carrying for someone else→ The simple practice that releases feelings that aren't yours back to their rightful owner→ Why conflict is actually a collaboration trying to happen—and how to use it to strengthen your bond→ The "WTF to MLK" method that transforms criticism into an invitation your partner can't refuse→ What your partner is really doing when they challenge you (think Michelangelo carving David)→ The one question that reveals whether a relationship is worth the growth it demandsHere's the truth: The love you're looking for exists. But it won't come from rescue. It won't come from finding someone who finally "gets it" so you don't have to feel your feelings anymore. True love is the emotional CrossFit of human existence—and it's rare because most people are chasing happily ever after instead of alive ever after. The fantasy says love should be easy. The truth says love is the highest game you can play as a human being. You have everything you need to lead.

The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
The loudest voices on the internet say “don't lift heavy when you're pregnant.” We say: let's look at what the body does, what the research shows, and how to train with confidence. Christina Previtt, pelvic floor physical therapist, researcher, and mom of two, unpacks three persistent myths—weight caps, benching on your back, and never holding your breath—and replaces them with clear, symptom-led guidance that respects both performance and pregnancy.We start by clarifying the landscape: strength training is not one thing. Powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, strongman, and CrossFit all stress the body differently, and pregnancy asks you to meet those demands with smart adjustments. Christina walks through new data from hundreds of recreational lifters training above 85% of their one-rep max and explains why the old 20 to 30 pound rule came from a lack of data, not evidence of harm. She also breaks down supine hypotensive syndrome, how to spot symptoms like dizziness or nausea, and simple fixes like using an incline for pressing so you can keep the bar moving safely.Breath is the other lightning rod. The valsalva maneuver increases stability and load capacity, and recent studies show no adverse fetal effects during short efforts. Christina shares when exhaling on exertion can reduce pelvic floor strain, how to decide between strategies based on symptoms and goals, and why birth prep means practicing the opposite of max bracing. If you're great at holding tension, you'll benefit from learning to let go—especially in late-stage labor when pelvic floor relaxation matters most.This conversation is built for lifters, coaches, clinicians, and curious partners who want evidence, not fear. You'll leave with practical benchmarks to scale effort, scripts to collaborate with your provider, and a mindset shift: adjust your strategy, not your identity. Subscribe, share with a training partner, and leave a review to help more strong parents find real guidance. What myth should we tackle next?___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

PhD researcher and WOD Science creator Gommaar D'Hulst joins the Brute Training Podcast to break down what science actually tells us about CrossFit training and where the sport is still flying blind.We dive into power output, movement efficiency, zone two training, recovery, and why heart rate does not always mean what CrossFitters think it means. Gommaar explains why functional fitness is harder to study than endurance sports and how biomechanics and physiology drive performance more than most people realize.If you are a coach, competitor, or CrossFitter who wants to understand training beyond vibes, this episode is for you.

Bear Woznick and BJ McKay talk about what true leadership really means, starting with the man in the mirror. From CrossFit to spiritual formation, BJ shows that greatness isn't about fleeting motivation but about daily discipline, humility, and self-awareness. The conversation explores how prayer, detachment, and habit build real manliness, reminding men that growth begins when comfort ends.BJ calls men to confront ego and distraction and rediscover their identity in Christ. Leadership, he says, isn't about power or control but about self-mastery, sacrifice, and the willingness to let go of false versions of yourself. Only then can a man lead others toward truth and purpose.____________________Catch every season of Long Ride Home - https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detai...Discover Bear Woznick Deep Adventure Ministries: http://bit.ly/BearWoznickNEWEST BOOK "12 Rules for Manliness | Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" on Amazon or Bear's Online Store https://my-site-100622-104377.square....DONATE TO THE CAUSE: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_...

What happens if you strip the 2025 CrossFit Games down to its rawest form? This podcast takes on the challenge of reprogramming the 2025 CrossFit Games—no machines allowed. No rowers, no bikes, no SkiErgs—just barbells, bodyweight, dumbbells, odd objects, and classic CrossFit tests of strength, stamina, and skill. This episode breaks down how removing machines changes athlete separation, event flow, and the overall test of fitness. We debate what's gained, what's lost, and whether a machine-free Games would better define the fittest on Earth.

Perimenopause doesn't have to mean fatigue, stubborn belly fat and training that suddenly stops “working”. In this episode, Angela sits down with exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist Dr Stacy Sims to unpack how women should really be training through their 40s, 50s and beyond - from sprint intervals and strength work to what actually happens to your muscles, joints and recovery as hormones shift. They dive into why most “zone 2” and VO₂ max advice is based on male data, how to use sprint interval training for mitochondrial health and metabolic flexibility, and why perimenopause and the first 5 years after menopause need a very different training and recovery strategy. You'll learn how to structure your week, how to periodise your year, and how to adapt popular classes like F45, CrossFit or OrangeTheory so they work for your physiology, not against it. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • How training needs to change in perimenopause, early post-menopause and late post-menopause • The key differences between HIIT and sprint interval training - and how to do SIT safely • Why most zone 2 research is based on men, and what women should focus on instead • How to structure your week with sprints, lifting and just enough cardio • Smart ways to modify group classes for female physiology • How to tweak carbs and protein across your cycle and in the luteal phase for better recovery • The most useful evidence-backed supplements for midlife women • Why menopause hormone therapy is a supportive tool - but can't replace lifting, protein and good training Timestamps 00:00 New Science for Women's Training 04:40 Training in Perimenopause While You Still Have a Menstrual Cycle 08:10 Recovery, Morning Workouts & Rethinking the Cardio Habit 10:04 Zone 2 Myths for Women 16:59 The Moderate-Intensity “Black Hole” & Soul-Food Cardio 21:57 Sprint Interval Training (SIT) & Mitochondrial Health for Women 25:59 HIIT, Orange Theory & Making Group Classes Work for Your Hormones 31:40 Ovulation, “Power Phases” & Why Every Woman Must Track Her Cycle 35:03 Fueling the Luteal Phase: Carbs, Protein & Training 36:32 How Much HIIT & SIT Women Need in Perimenopause and Postmenopause 40:55 Periodizing Your Year for Midlife Women 43:40 Resistance Training for Women's Strength & Longevity 47:59 Supplements That Actually Support Women 53:34 Creatine, Whey Protein, Water Retention & Acne: What Women Need to Know 56:37 Menopause Hormone Therapy: A Helpful Tool But Not a Magic Body-Comp Fix VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: • Timeline – Supercharge your energy and upgrade your mitochondria with Mitopure®

n this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, we sit down with Kristin Hook for a powerful conversation about discipline, service, and finding purpose through movement and helping others. Kristin shares how her fitness journey began—what first drew her to running, how CrossFit became a defining part of her life, and how physical challenge shaped her mindset well beyond the gym. Fitness wasn't just about performance for Kristin; it became a foundation for resilience, confidence, and growth. We also dive into her path into medicine, including what motivated her to attend PA school and pursue a career where she could directly impact people's lives. Along the way, Kristin opens up about her unique professional journey—from serving in the Army as a police officer, and ultimately finding her calling as a Physician Assistant in the medical field. This episode is about more than career changes—it's about answering the pull to serve, adapting when life evolves, and staying grounded in your core purpose no matter where the road leads. Kristin's story is a reminder that being "unbroken" doesn't mean unchallenged—it means continuing to move forward with intention.
This week we sit down with longtime CFGV member Saundra Watson, who's been part of our community since 2013. Over the years, Saundra has trained in our CrossFit classes and spent time in personal training, using targeted strength work to support her passion for running and marathon racing.After a serious fall at home that resulted in an unhappy triad knee injury (ACL, MCL, and medial meniscus) — including 6 weeks of non-weight bearing — Saundra didn't just return to training… she came back strong. Since then, she's completed multiple marathons and is actively pursuing the Abbott World Marathon Majors, with Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City all on the list.This episode is a powerful reminder of what long-term coaching, smart strength training, and resilience can do — at any stage of life.

In this episode, I break down the biggest lessons I've learned this year — from the power of stillness to redefining what revenue really means. I talk about resilience, health, energy management, and why slowing down is sometimes the most productive move you can make.Key Highlights:- Stillness is power: Not responding is sometimes the highest form of response.- Energy is access: Not everyone deserves immediate attention — or any attention.- Hustle isn't the solution: You can't out-earn the conversations you're avoiding.- Revenue ≠ resolution: Money helps, but it won't fix what you refuse to face.- I'm stronger than I thought: This year stretched my resilience beyond anything I expected.- Health changed everything: Showing up daily at 5 a.m. CrossFit has elevated every part of my life.If this episode hit home, send it to someone who needs the reminder that slowing down, looking inward, and choosing intentionally is its own kind of strength.
