Hanging Out With Rory McKernan and Angelo DiCicco (EP. 032)
1Description
In this episode of the CrossFit Podcast, host Denise Thomas sits down with Rory McKernan and Angelo DiCicco to talk about everything from their hopes for the CrossFit community to stories from their early days.
Community Highlight
Bob Moran has been a police officer in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, for 23 years. For much of that time, he was drinking … until Jan. 1, 2023. That was his last drink.
He went cold turkey. One day at a time. And through it all, CrossFit was his anchor. His gym, RDT CrossFit, welcomed him back without judgment.
Now 18 months sober, Bob is training consistently and leading from the front. He helps run Signal 30, a weekly fitness and mental wellness program for current and retired law enforcement. Every Sunday at 8 a.m., officers show up to move, connect, and reset.
“I’m not afraid to share it,” Bob says. I was a f*ing drunk. And I want people to know that’s not the end of the line. There’s more past that.”⠀
Next up: earning his Level 1 Trainer credential and continuing to give back. Because he knows what’s at stake and what’s possible.
Celebrate his soberversary workout on Jan. 2, 2026:
10 rounds for time of: 10-calorie bike
10 back squats from floor (95/135)
10 burpees over the bar
