We sit down with Jen Forick, nurse practitioner and co-owner of CrossFit T1, to explore how coaching, caregiving, and community can build lasting health. From palliative care lessons to snatch Sundays and Wellness Wednesday, this is about turning a gym into a true wellness engine.

• what palliative care really is and how it shapes Jen’s view of quality of life
• using workouts as an emotional reset and resilience builder
• the path from commercial gyms to barbell proficiency and gymnastics capacity
• simple nutrition rules: walk more and eat enough protein
• EMOMs for fundamentals: chest-to-bar, toes-to-bar, and smart progressions
• lessons from ownership: respond slowly, be visible, earn trust
• building T1 as a one-stop wellness hub: nutrition, PT, and responsible hormone literacy
• community churn, returns, and keeping the culture strong
• watching CrossFit HQ’s next chapter and what it could mean for affiliates
• longevity over aesthetics: training that pays dividends in everyday life
