👊 Weekly Newsletter & the Chase Club

We’re jumping into questions from members of the Chase Club around maintaining healthy relationships, starting a personal training business, improving CrossFit competitiveness, and dealing with grief during workouts.

One listener struggles with a friend's negativity, while another seeks advice on becoming a personal trainer.

We also discuss strategies for identifying and overcoming weaknesses in CrossFit, and the importance of allowing space for grief in one's fitness journey.

All of these questions come from members of our Chase Club community, which offers premium content and support for those striving to chase excellence.
