It is not news that CrossFit has grown in popularity and visibility since its inception in well let's call it 2005.  The internet was murky and new back then and it's hard to put "dates" on things. But has it reached a point of Mainstream viability?  Also what the hell does mainstream viability even mean??

Join us as we debate the finer points of how CrossFit is or isn't for everyone.   Where do you fall on this?   And in a bigger question... What makes CrossFit, CrossFit and not just crossfit?

Super fun episode coming at you.....   This is the one you never knew you needed in your life, but once you hear it you will wonder how you have lived this long without knowing this stuff!! ......or, you are gonna feel like you wasted a half hour of your day.  Either way.... you should listen. This is our long awaited (almost a whole week and a half) recap of the 2022 CrossFit Games. It was a wild week in Madison, and we did our best to encapsulate all of it into the heard word. So give it a listen, let us know what you think. Do you like this Competitive CrossFit content or could you live without it??

The CrossFit Games are coming, the CrossFit Games are coming!!!! Whether or not this is earth shattering news to you or you just had to Google what the h, e, double hockey sticks the CrossFit Games are, you should definitely tune into this episode. We dive into to what to expect this year in Madison.... That's in Wisconsin! Who we think has a realistic chance at winning..... Spoiler alert..... smart money is on Tia!

Don't you love it when you have strong opinions about a friend's breakup/divorce/etc. and not only do you think to yourself about those opinions but you voice them out-loud to other people!! And then, because we have the internet, we don't just stop there.  We record it and put out on a podcast for the whole world to listen to and know what our opinions are.  (luckily this is only like 4 people). And then like it always happens...... those people get back together and you are stuck at Christmas dinner with your brother and his current girlfriend(who also happens to be his current ex-wife) and all the bad things you may or may not have said about her, while you are trying to share some mash-potatoes...... awkward!! Well lucky for you the listener because this just happened to our podcast.  Not long ago we made a whole episode (CF Open Primer) about the firing of Dave Castro and all of our mostly accurate and basically un-arguable thoughts about it!! Low and behold, fast forward 3-4 months and CrossFit has hired him back and we are forced to eat our words in an apology podcast.......  but not really.   We just give you our new thoughts on his new position and whether or not he deserves it, and/or qualified for it, and then we stare at the mash potatoes for a solid 30 minutes without saying a word!! Let us know what you think, don't forget to Share, Like, Comment!!

Welcome back for the exciting conclusion of our Rep Your Box 11? recap!!! This is part 2, of our breakdown of the competition that was.  If you enjoyed part 1. you are gonna love part.2 If you haven't had a chance to listen to part.1 yet, go back and listen to that before you listen to part.2. (Because that's how pt.1 and pt.2's work).  Not going to drop any spoiler alerts in here or in the podcast, because previews always do that (listen to the podcast for a more in-depth explanation on this) As always, Listen, Like, Subscribe, Share, tell your Friends!!!

Hey Gang, Slightly different episode coming at you this week.  This past weekend a few people from the gym participated in a local CrossFit competition called Rep Your Box.   So sticking with our theme from the last few episodes of competitions, we thought it would be fun to do a recap episode of the comp and sort of let you into what we were thinking as it was happening sort of thing. We will weigh in on the highs and lows, how we were feeling during events and how we thought after events!! Sort of a play by play of the weekend!!  Let us know if you like this sort of episode... or even let us know if you hate it!!  

In a follow up to our last episode where we talked in full depth about whether or not competing in a CrossFit competition is the right for you.....   Today, we tackle it from a different angle.   There are a lot of different CrossFit style competitions out there, ranging from the local single day throw-downs all the way up to the mecca of events the CrossFit Games. And guess what.... They all screw up some of the things we talk about in this episode.  With any luck they aren't screwing up all of them... but some probably do.   We tried, to not call out any person or competition directly in this podcast, but if it feels like you were targeted, or that we were talking about you..... we probably were!!   So give it a listen and let us know what you think!!  

Have you ever wondered if a competition is right for you? Well.... have we got all the answers to that for you and so much more in this edition of Inside the Coach's Brain. Come find out why you should, or even why you shouldn't do a CrossFit Competition. It can be a fun and rewarding world to dive into, but can also come with plenty of pit falls and directional changes.  Will you be ready for them when they come?  If you listen to this podcast then you may..... (no promises) Enjoy the podcast, hopefully it entertains or educates you (probably asking for a lot to do both).   Please share, like, engage or otherwise acknowledge that you listened and like it. Thanks
