CrossFit Mountain Island

Coach Austin and Coty look ahead and review programming for the week of May 16 - 22nd, 2022 at CrossFit Mountain Island.

"My daughter is a different person today than she was two months ago." 

- Jordan's dad. 

Jordan Daugherty is finishing up phase 1 of her 63 Day Transformation, a health mentorship program at CrossFit Mountain Island. 

As a coach I can't speak highly enough about Jordan and her perseverance, consistency and growth through the last 2 months. 

We've watched Jordan grow as a human being over the last 2 month's, and we're so excited to share her story. 

If you're looking for REAL insight into what it takes to create lasting lifestyle change, what the day to day process looks like and what REALLY works, listen to Jordan's story. 

She is a living example of what it means to be Physically Strong, Mentally Tough, and Spiritually Sound.

It doesn't just happen. It takes intention and consistency. 

This is what takes to create real change in your life. Do yourself a favor and get ready to take notes!

This quick podcast shines a light on how easy it is to accidentally and mindlessly take snacking to the next level. 

Stay intentional. Stay on track.

CrossFit is a lifestyle methodology with an aim to forge broad, general and inclusive fitness. Preparing individuals for the unknown and unknowable physical and mental challenges that life presents us. 

CrossFit is constantly varied, high intensity focused functional movements.  It will make your life better whether you're 15 or 70 years old. Our goal at CrossFit Mountain Island is to positively influence people's lives physically, mentally and spiritually. 

Within the CrossFit community is a small percentage of people who like to compete. CrossFit generally is not meant to be a competitive endeavor, but it can be for those that choose to seek it out.

Owner and CEO of CFMI, Coty Bradburn, spent 4 years training full time and competing at a relatively high level in CrossFit. From 2 regionals experiences (1 team + 1 individual), 2 Wodapalooza experiences (2017 Men's RX 1st place + competing in the Elite division in 2018), he has experience living and breathing the process of being a competitor.

In this podcast, Owner Coty Bradburn fields some questions from our members on what it was like to compete in CrossFit and focus intently on the sport of CrossFit. He qualified 8th in the 2018 CrossFit Open in the Mid-Atlantic region and went on to compete at the CrossFit Games Regionals in Florida in the summer of 2018.

What a normal daily routine looks like for a competitive CrossFit athlete as well as the recovery and nutritional practices that go into successfully being a competitor. 

From commitments, sacrifices, workout schedule, rest days, programming and diet, this podcast will outline what it took for Coty to qualify for the CrossFit Regionals as an individual athlete and on a team.

Brandon is a nurse. 

More specifically, Brandon is a trauma nurse who flies in helicopters to help transport people from point A to point B while administering life saving medical practices. In the air.

You could say Brandon is kind of a badass.

In the fitness world, (particularly brick and mortar gyms), most people stick around for 3-9 months on average before they call it quits. And that's if they're members at a higher touch gym. Big box gym's that charge you $20 a month not to show up usually last longer because, well, let's be honest. Most people just forget they're paying for it.

We've all been there, and sometimes life gets the best of us.

For the people at CrossFit Mountain Island that get past that initial year and decide to make their health and fitness a priority for the long haul, well, they learn a lot along the way.

They see a lot of positive change in that year.

We believe what they've learned is valuable, and their lessons have a lot to offer for those of us pursuing a similar journey of bettering ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually.

From meal plans, to macros, to workout programs and audio books to get you going, there is a ton of actionable advice in this episode.

Take notes.

Your goals aren't going to be realized with one major change.   Consistently walking in the direction you want to go will realize your goals.   Wandering through life won't.  An aggregation of marginal gains is the key to real success and lasting change.

Carl is a perfect example of what it means to intentionally pursue being physically strong, mentally tough, and spiritually sound. 

I love all of the conversations I get to have with this guy, including this one where we discuss what got him to finally make that first step at taking control of his life, and what he's learned since.
