In this episode, we get a chance to sit down with Sarah & Taylor.

Sarah & Taylor are former roommates who have both been part of the CrossFit Strongtown family since the beginning.

They both have deep family roots in the CrossFit community - Taylor was first introduced by her parents sometime around 2006 and Sarah is the 3rd piece of the Gallagher sibling trifecta so she’s in it pretty deep to say the least.

I’ve been trying to get Sarah on the podcast for a while now and it came down to 2 conditions...1 being that Taylor aka Tots do it with her...and 2 being Mimosas. Taylor was totally in and she really had to twist my arm for Sunday morning Mimosas but we got them on the show.

Thank you both for coming out and everyone for listening!

In this episode, recorded on February 9th 2020,  we sit down with Kat & Kate who represented Strongtown at CrossFit RedZone's first annual "Winter Classic" throwdown this past weekend.

Kat is a constant 6am'er and Kate typically does the evening classes. We talk a bit about what brought them to compete, their experiences at the event and about Competitions in general.

This was Kat's first competition and although it was Kate's 2nd it has been almost 3 years since her last competition.  

In this episode, recorded on February 2nd 2020,  we get a chance to sit down with Ian Babington.

Ian has been a member at Strongtown since 2011 and as recently transitioned into the Coaching side of things. 

We talk about college...transitioning from Anthropology & Archeology to Fire Fighting and then from triathlons to CrossFit.  We also talk about what first brought 'The Babingtons' to Strongtown as well as some of the challenges of working out while being a new parent. 

In this episode, recorded on January 26th 2020, Mikey and I sit down with Nico to discuss what it means to go "Rx" on a workout. 

We talk a bit about the evolution of the Rx Levels at Strongtown, some of the minutia of the Judges Course and previous CrossFit Games workouts as well as just catch up on things in general.

In this episode recorded on January 19th, 2020,  Mikey and I sit down to catch up on the past week.

We draw numbers for our Super Bowl Squares to complete the board, we talk about our annual Strongtown Super Bowl workout...it's a classic, as well as this past weekends' Holiday Party (thank you Barry & Becky for hosting!), and a little bit about our on going Strong Start Challenge.

In this episode, recorded on January 12th, 2020, we get a chance to sit down with Heidi Gaber.

Heidi is a Social Worker and has been a regular face at our 6:00am class for the past 4 years.

The person who she is now and the person who tried out a class because her friend Taylor kept bugging her are two very different people.

She has literally transformed her life and gone from smoking 1-2 packs of cigarettes day to waking up at 5:00am and working out 5x a week.

We talk about what brought her to Strongtown (thank you Tots), nursing school, and working out with multiple auto-immune diseases amongst other things.

In this episode recorded on January 5th 2020, we get a chance to sit down with Deb.

Deb is one of our 'most master' athletes at Strongtown, she's also one of our strongest.

She has lived an extraordinary life from waitressing Martha's Vineyard, to working as an executive out in Silicon Valley, to running a Farm & CSA program, to most recently beating cancer.

She's an inspiration to everyone who knows her and I'm grateful we got a chance to catch up. 

In this episode recorded on December 29th, 2019, Mikey and I sit down and talk about our recent 12 Days workout as well as our final workout of 2019 aka "New Year's Eve Party with the Girls".

This year's finale will be a 40 Minute AMRAP of Grace (or Isabell) ... and then Annie ... and then Fran ... and then Karen for a total of 570 reps per round. 

Like Christmas Eve, we'll be running classes at 8:00am & 9:30am and closed on New Year's Day.

In this episode recorded on December 22, 2019,  we get a chance to sit down & catch up with Garrett Taggart.

We talk about what first brought him to the gym, working out while deployed, and the girl who kept buying him coffee.

In this episode recorded on December 15th, 2019, the Sunday cleaning crew aka Mikey, Dan & Nico, sit down to discuss Strongtown's annual "12 Days" workout that happens every Christmas Eve. 

The workout has become a Strongtown tradition and one of the busiest days of the year for Strongtown. 

We talk about the workout...the infamous Day 12, 12oz of Beer option and the upcoming Holiday schedule.
