Description

Are we actually setting beginners up for success in CrossFit, or just overwhelming them on Day One?

Danny Lehr is joined by Blair Morrison and Wes Piatt to debate whether the 9 fundamental movements are still the best way to onboard new members, what skills beginners really need first, and how on-ramps impact coaching quality, culture, and retention. From deadlifts vs push-ups to running form, med-ball cleans, and movement standards, this episode is for coaches who care about teaching well, not just fast.
