Podcasts about CrossFit

Is group fitness helping or hurting your body composition goals? In this Fitness Friday episode on the Habits and Hustle podcast, Liron and I dive into the controversial world of group fitness classes like Orange Theory, Barry's Bootcamp, and F45. We discuss why these high-intensity classes can spike your appetite, burn out your adrenals, and leave you injured—plus what's actually working in the group fitness space. We also explore the rise of Hyrox as a better alternative to CrossFit, why Pilates shouldn't be your only workout, and the social benefits that keep people coming back despite the drawbacks. Liron Kayvan founded BFLA in 2019. He's a NASM Certified Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Transformative Life Coach. Liron has competed in Amateur MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Rugby and has been a Fitness Coach for over 10 years. What we discuss: The rise and reality of group fitness popularity Why Barry's Bootcamp can spike cortisol and appetite The "aimless running around" problem in most classes Hyrox vs. CrossFit: A safer group fitness alternative Why Pilates alone won't change your body composition The social benefits that make group fitness worthwhile When group fitness works vs. when it backfires The importance of having specific fitness goals Why "something is better than nothing" still applies How to choose group fitness that actually serves your goals Thank you to our sponsor: Therasage: Head over to therasage.com and use code Be Bold for 15% off  TruNiagen: Head over to truniagen.com and use code HUSTLE20 to get $20 off any purchase over $100.

5/28/2025 The guys reminisce going down memory lane from when they first started CrossFit and the interesting roads they both took as beginners in the CrossFit space. The biggest thing to take away from this episode is to understand that you may see someone incredibly advanced at CrossFit, but to remember that they did not start there right from the beginning. Consistency, Intensity, proper mechanics and nutrition will guide you to what you're looking for in this training methodology - emphasis on the consistency!!  Song - DropArtist - Forrest Frank

From old locker rooms to a thriving fitness space – join coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as they peel back the curtain on the first exciting month of our new gym Outlast Fitness @outlast_fitness, our newest venture located right in front of CrossFit Bison.The questions have been flooding in: Who is Outlast for? How does it differ from CrossFit? Is it a stepping stone to more intense training or its own complete fitness approach? We tackle these questions head-on while sharing the candid conversations we've had with members, coaches, and curious fitness enthusiasts.At its core, Outlast fills a critical gap in the fitness landscape. While CrossFit delivers unmatched results through its methodology, many people remain intimidated by barbells, pull-up bars, and the perceived intensity. Outlast maintains the strength-training focus that's essential as we age but packages it differently – using dumbbells, kettlebells, and functional movements in smaller, more personalized classes that one member described as "feeling like personal training."We explore the fascinating dynamics between the two programs, including the CrossFit athletes who have found a new home at Outlast and the newcomers who might eventually try CrossFit after building confidence here. The coaches share how coaching smaller groups creates a different but equally rewarding challenge, allowing for deeper connections and more focused movement coaching.The programming philosophy blends CrossFit methodology with accessibility, creating workouts that can be scaled for everyone from fitness beginners to seasoned athletes. As Coach Dave notes, "At the end of the day, if Adrian Bozman was sitting here, a lot of what we're doing in Outlast you would say is CrossFit – just one aspect of it."Whether you're curious about functional fitness, contemplating a change in your routine, or simply interested in how fitness communities evolve, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating fitness spaces that truly serve diverse needs.

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Ray Gorman to discuss the "blended practice model" for performance clinicians, in particular physical therapists. Dr. Ray has spent his career specializing in working within the fitness and rehab space. With a background in CrossFit since 2008 which then progressed to Physical Therapy school graduating in 2014, Ray sought out to provide the highest quality of care and education for those who seek to advocate for themselves. As a clinician, Ray worked in various outpatient orthopedic settings, Division 1 athletics, and ultimately niched himself into the functional fitness space blending his passions of strength and conditioning with physical therapy at his cash-pay practice in a gym setting. Once it became time to scale his impact, Ray shifted focus from the clinical world to the education front where he developed course curriculum, ran business operations, and began mentoring coaches and rehab professionals all over the world. Now he owns Engage Movement which helps coaches and rehab professionals build their ideal business with a unique blend of in-person and virtual offers so they can do more of the things they enjoy without sacrificing their career.

Coaching youth sports has taught valuable lessons about fundamentals. The state of CrossFit is currently fractured and lacks a central rallying point.

The comparison trap is real, and it's especially potent in the pregnancy and postpartum space. As someone who's been both celebrated and criticized for weightlifting through pregnancy and competing just months after giving birth, I've witnessed firsthand how social media creates unrealistic expectations.When that ultramarathon runner went viral for nursing her baby throughout a 100-mile race, I saw the same pattern unfold again: celebration quickly followed by a wave of women feeling inadequate about their different journeys. While I'll always celebrate these extraordinary athletic feats, there's something critical we're missing in these conversations.Nobody's sharing the full picture online. That runner who makes postpartum recovery look effortless? She might be managing prolapse symptoms. The CrossFit athlete back at the gym three weeks after birth? She might be there because exercise is keeping severe postpartum depression at bay. I know because that was my story – competing while managing hypertension, incontinence, and painful intercourse. The highlight reel never shows these struggles.The beautiful paradox is that these extreme cases have actually expanded possibilities for all mothers. Five years ago, I was told lifting weights would harm my baby. Today, because boundary-pushers documented their journeys, medical professionals can offer personalized approaches rather than one-size-fits-all restrictions. When we normalize various exercise intensities during pregnancy and postpartum, everyone benefits – from the yoga enthusiast to the competitive weightlifter.What looks like symptom-free recovery is often strategic movement as rehabilitation. Current research increasingly supports earlier return to activity for both physical healing and mental health benefits, particularly in preventing postpartum depression and anxiety. Instead of assuming exercise indicates a "perfect" recovery, consider that it might be someone's medicine.If you've felt the sting of comparison when your journey hasn't matched those perfect Instagram posts, you're not alone. Your timeline is valid whether it's three weeks or three years. Mute accounts that trigger you, find guidance that meets you where you are, and remember – behind every social media success story is a complex reality we're never fully seeing.___________________________________________________________________________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.
