Listen Later

Ever wondered how technology can reshape your fitness journey? Discover insights on our latest episode of the Herd Fit Podcast with coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic as we introduce the innovative Train by PushPress app at CrossFit Bison. 

We promise to explore how this app transforms traditional score-logging methods and enhances athletes' ability to track their progress seamlessly. Say goodbye to outdated whiteboards and join us in this journey towards smarter training.

As we navigate the intersection of competition and community, the episode takes a deep dive into how gym culture can be influenced by auto-ranking systems. The balance between fostering healthy competition and maintaining a supportive environment is essential, and we discuss potential adaptations like chronological score displays to ensure inclusivity. Our conversation reveals the dynamic landscape of gym culture and why it’s crucial to maintain a supportive atmosphere, even as high performers push their limits.

Lastly, we explore the profound impact of self-worth and personal growth on fitness culture. Drawing from personal experiences, we discuss the often-overlooked pressures of leaderboards and social media on athletes' mindsets. Shifting the focus from ego-driven competition to self-improvement, we highlight the role coaches play in guiding athletes towards healthier attitudes. Join us as we champion the virtues of logging workouts consistently and emphasize quality-driven training over chasing numbers.
