Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

Ep. #775: Brooke Ence on Getting “Superhero Fit” and Winning in Business


Listen Later

In this podcast, I interview Brooke Ence, an entrepreneur, actress, and CrossFit icon, which she became after winning 1st place in the California Regional at the 2015 CrossFit Games (her first year competing, by the way).

She looks the part too, which is how she’s garnered over 1.5 million followers on Instagram, and landed roles as an Amazon warrior in Wonder Woman, Justice League, and Black Lightning.

Reaching this level of performance and maintaining the look isn't easy, of course, and in this episode, we chat about Brooke’s story and how she ended up here.

Specifically, we talk about . . .

  • Her history in sports and athletics
  • How she got involved in CrossFit and what it was like training (alone) for the CrossFit Games
  • The data and mindset required to perform at your peak
  • Why you have to do more than just "show up"
  • Genetics and natural talent versus drive
  • Social media and vlogging
  • And more . . .
  • So if you want to learn how Brooke became the “superhero” she is today, check out this podcast and let me know what you think!
