In this deeply enriching episode of A Brother's Creed podcast, our guest, Pat Barber, a dad and a role model from The Father's Guild, offers candid advice and insights on the nuances and challenges of fatherhood in the millennial age. We discuss how being a role model can have a far more significant impact on children's lives than ordinance, highlighting the importance of living out the principles and values we want our kids to uphold. Pat offers a unique perspective on manhood and fatherhood, promoting the idea of personal self-improvement and sincere connection with children over stereotypical instruction-based parenting. His thoughts on effective fathering are derived from his experiences as a father of four boys and his endeavors like The Father's Guild that encourages open conversation about fatherhood. Join in our exploration of the newly defined paradigms of fatherhood, modeling and living out virtues for children, and understanding the multi-layered role of a modern father. Diving into hot topics like setting boundaries, structured communication, emotional control, and gender roles, this episode provides an authentic view of what it takes to be a present, active, and positively connected father in today's world. Finally, we journey towards an intriguing topic about self-improvement and its profound impact on one's parenting dynamics. The highlight is Pat's personal challenge of consciously refraining from yelling for a month and the ripple effects it had on his parental life. This episode swells with insights on intentional parenting, personal growth, and the looming possibility of becoming ‘harder to kill, easier to love'. We invite you to immerse in this thought-provoking and enriching conversation, promising to leave you with a fresh perspective on fatherhood.

He is also a CrossFit Level 4 Coach and continues to work as part of CrossFit Seminar Staff. Pat's desire to help people and live a values-based life is something that I believe all coaches and gym owners should aspire to.

OK OK OK, if you're coming here for a feud, ya won't hear it. But, what you will hear is 1 mature level headed intelligent host (Olivia), and one not so much, but really working on her anger(Amy), share their personal feelings about this lady's opinion. Because it is just that, an OPINION. Olivia and I have both been Crossfit coaches for years, so we are fully qualified to speak on CF's mantra. Even though we really don't want to give her any attention, this is a great learning lesson on how to deal with haters. Its not easy, especially when speaking in the fitness realm, most people **newsflash** aren't in it for the money. Its a lot of hard work for the love of healing others. SO, it can be a little triggering as they say, right Liv? Lastly, the timing for this open dis, to her platform of millions of viewers mind you, couldn't be worse. A lot of mom and pop Crossfit gyms, and gyms in general are BLEEDING as they are facing closures and members leaving due to Covid. Not cool sis. But we all make mistakes, and we are not cool with cancel culture, so we hope after you (Jillian) have watched the rebuttal video by Pat Barber, you can be challenged on which way to land. A big sign of growth! Admitting when you were maybe, unclear on something and now you're good! At least that's what Olivia has taught me! Cheers to knowledge Jill!!! Stay nasty, babes. --Amy and Olivia

United We Move - Episode 16 - Patrick Barber Today Jonathan talks with Pat Barber, aka “The Manimal”. Pat is a former CF athlete competing in the CrossFit Games all the way back to their inception. He has performed a number of roles in the CrossFit community over the years, including competing, coaching at and running affiliates, coaching a new batch of coaches at CrossFit Level 1 Seminars, and currently running several businesses with his wife Taz, including Warmup and Workout, which provides GPP programming for affiliates and gyms around the world.

Please give him a warm Move Nation welcome! #crossfit #gym #fitnesscoach #gpp #workout #warmup #podcast #decaturga #crossfitaffiliate #crossfitgames
Pat Barber is one of the original Crossfit games athletes, coaches and personalities who alongside his wife Taz, has made a life, love and business out of helping people build the best version of themselves. Since stepping away from competition he and Taz have continued to build their life and business (Warmup and Workout) around helping others, travel and learning. From taking their 3 boys on a half year trip around the world to buying an old farm in California, it is safe to say that Pat Barber "Thinks Differently". In this episode Pat discusses his thoughts on resiliency, relationships and parenting. This episode is so timely given the current global pandemic in which many of us are challenged with staying afloat and maintaining some level of sanity. Pat talks about being resilient and learning and optimizing through growth and most importantly challenging yourself. Pat Barber Thinks Differently about parenting and resiliency. You can follow Pat on instagram @patbarberCF, visit Warmup and Workout and as always, please subscribe, review and share the podcast with others looking to Think Differently. Best, Marc

Back when CrossFit® was a still budding grassroots community — and when the CrossFit Games took place on a dusty country ranch — Pat Barber made a name for himself as one of its early stars. He taught courses, created some of CrossFit HQ's earliest videos, and competed at the sport's highest levels in a time well before giant endorsement deals. (And live streaming? Forget about it.) Originally from California, Pat was one of the first big name CrossFit personalities to go international, where he played a massive role in growing the methodology and sport in New Zealand and Australia.These days, the 6-time CrossFit Games athlete and Level 4 CrossFit Trainer is still heavily active in the CrossFit community. (By his own estimate, Pat has put roughly 15,000 people through their CrossFit L1 certifications.) In addition to coaching seminars, Pat and his wife Taz run Warmup & Workout, a programming and coaching development platform for gyms around the globe.Pat's in a unique position to give thoughts on the past, present, and future of CrossFit both as a training methodology and sport. Though our conversation covered Pat's optimism for fitness moving forward, we also touch upon some important snags CrossFit — and other fitness methodologies — will continue to face as communities become enmeshed with their online counterparts.
Pat Barber has been doing CrossFit since long before it was cool. His first workout was in 2003 and he's never looked back, he also never thought it would become his career. From the CrossFit Games to the cover of "Every Second Counts" to over 10 years on the CrossFit seminar staff, he's done it all. Hailing from Santa Cruz, as expected Pat is fun and very relaxed. He is married to wife Taz and has three kids they regularly discuss on their podcast "The Tribe Life." Together they also run, Warmups and Workouts as well as Outside the Box.

The first time I met Pat he challenged me on a post I made on Instagram in which I criticized CrossFit's use of high intensity training. It was love at first conflict. Pat Barber has been around since the early days of CrossFit. I'm talking about the days before you knew CrossFit existed and before CrossFit even really knew what they were on to. Pat went from getting coached by CrossFit founder Greg Glassman to filming and editing hundreds of CrossFit Seminars, to running CrossFit's world famous Level One and Level Two Seminars.

This week on the podcast we have Pat Barber!! We talk about a lot of stuff like; Coaching vs. Programming, Intentionally Building the Next Generation, Competing at a High level, and Being a Badass Dad with Pat Barber. Here's a quick bio Pat Wrote: Back in 2003, I was working as a room service attendant at a Santa Cruz hotel and deciding what to do with myself. I decided to apply to be a sheriff, however at the same time, I was also getting pretty pumped about this workout thing I was doing called CrossFit. Later, I would fail the oral interview portion of the sheriff’s exam because they thought I was more interested in CrossFit than joining the police force. I was bummed and stunned at the time but in retrospect, I think they were right. My real journey with CrossFit began shortly after that when I got hired to work for CrossFit.com filming and editing video. I would later make my way from behind the camera to in front of it, coaching, and training in many of the early CrossFit.com videos. In 2008, at the Aromas Ranch, I competed in my first CrossFit Games. Since then, I’ve competed in the Games 6 times, helped my wife run the first CrossFit affiliate in New Zealand, and returned to the States to help Jason Khalipa grow and lead the NorCal empire. I have also continued to train and develop coaches for NorCal CrossFit and as part of the L1 and L2 staff for CrossFit.com; in fact, I’ve helped about 15,000 people through their CrossFit L1’s over the past several years. So, as you can see, my experiences with CrossFit have been varied… a little of this and a little of that… I’m an athlete, a Level 4 Coach, a media guy, and the Head of Coaching Development at Norcal CrossFit. I’m also a husband and father who loves surfing, Magic: The Gathering, potato chips and hanging with my boy in his Batman fort. I do not love L-Sits. Or cooked lemons.
This week on the podcast we have Pat Barber, father, husband, business owner, friend, coach, O.G CrossFitter, Level 1 Seminar staff and much more. Pat ‘s CrossFit history starts from his high school days where Nicole Carroll and Tony Budding were schoolteachers of his and...

Barbell Business - Podcast for gym owners by Barbell Shrugged
This week on BARBELL BUSINESS, we interview Pat Barber, a CrossFit Games Athlete (since 2008), Co-owner of Warmup & Workout, and Head of Coaches Development at NorCal CrossFit. In this show, we discuss: How Pat got his career start in the fitness industry Innovatively making people better through effective coaching Hiring and coach training tips and methods What he looks for in awesome coaches The importance of a collective mission
Imagine it's 2003. Your high school volleyball coach decides weightlifting will help the team's jumping, so he Googles "clean and jerk Santa Cruz." The coach was Tony Budding, and Pat Barber was on the volleyball team. Over the last 13 years, Barber has "grown up" with CrossFit, first training in the original HQ gym and then becoming part of the early CrossFit Media staff. His first competition was filmed in "Every Second Counts" (Barber is the cover model) and he's made the Games as an individual and Team athlete several times since 2008. Now he's Head of Coach Development for NorCal CrossFit, and founder of WarmupandWorkout.com with his wife, Taz. In "Coach's Confessional," I talk about trying to keep every client (mistake!) and how to fire the bad ones. Recorded on January 15, 2016.
This week I interviewed Pat "Manimal" Barber. I'm not sure exactly where he got that nickname, maybe because he's so hairy. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this one. Pat is one of the OG Crossfit Games Competitors. He has competed for several years as an individual and the last two years on NorCal Crossfit team. The most interesting part of this interview for me was talking to Pat about developing coaches. Pat has been on the Crossfit L1 staff for years and has taught L2s and other seminars. He talks about how you can become a better coach and get the most out of your athletes. We also talk about his new company Warmup and Workout, which is his answer to the issue of affiliate programming. He and his wife Taz create detailed lesson plans (Session plans as they call it) for every single day. It allows affiliates to focus on teaching and growing the community rather than wasting time making programs.
