When LGN opened in 2011, it was a CrossFit affiliate.  Shortly after its first year, the CrossFit name was replaced with "Performance."  Shortly after that, the affiliate status was dropped.

It's not a path for everyone or every gym.  But, it allowed LGN to grow its membership numbers, retention numbers, coaches and instilled pride and ownership in the product.

If you love CrossFit, it's still OK to like this episode.

If someone you know should hear it for one reason or another, please spread it around.  I'd love to continue to grow the audience and the 4th Shift.

Talk to you soon.

The man that gave me my first real opportunity to transition from an exercise enthusiast who occasionally gives out bad advice, to a legitimate coach who occasionally gives out bad advice.

Curt Hanson is a 17 year veteran of the fire service as well as the owner of LGN Performance, a strength and conditioning gym in the suburbs of Chicago.

We cover a lot of ground in this one as we go into the idiot vs expert or enthusiast vs coach topic.  So buckle up and enjoy.  Get ready to hear more from Curt (assuming he doesn't hate this and pull the plug)

Full Disclaimer- I don't really enjoy warm-ups.  They get tedious, repetitive, and kinda boring.   BUT, they are something that I truly have never regretted doing (once I convince myself to do it)

In this episode, I share the function, and how to build an excellent warm-up to get you ready for any training session.

It's something I'd love to share with your department in person so let's coordinate.

Talk to you soon.

What are they and how much of them do you really need?

If you've been on a quest for more flexibility, maybe it's time to look at another aspect.

Also, how wide is your sidewalk?

In my efforts to further diversify and grow 4th Shift Fitness, I've started to look at selling articles.  When I went back to look for some to re-do, I found one called "How to build client trust as a digital coach"

In this episode, I share my top 3 ideas for being a good coach and Katie joins to share her top 3 things she looks for in a coach (as if she was ever going to shop around)

Check it out and let me know what you look for in your coach/trainer.

If you have any interest in paying me 400 a month, definitely slide into my DM's

If you have any insight or ideas about freelance writing and getting paid for articles, I'd love to chat and get an idea of what I'm up against.

Talk to you soon.

One year, 28 episodes, and better than 50% of all those other losers who start a podcast and quit in their first year. (statistics yet to be verified)

We're one year in and it's been quite a journey.  I had a ton of really awesome conversations in my head leading up to recording.    I chose not to write them down because I knew I would remember them when the light came on.  And when I started recording, none of them came back.  Not a one.

So, not needless to say, but thank you if you've hung on to this experiment this long and buckle up cause it's only getting bumpier!

Talk to you soon.

Is it a fad, a hoax, good, bad, or just a fancy way to eat too much?

One thing is for sure, referring to someone's "feeding window" is hilarious and makes them sound like livestock.

Katie has questions, and I have insufficient answers.

What's your take on it?

Could it be the end of the Whoop era for 4th Shift Fitness?  I'm nearly two years into wearing the tracker and I've pieced together some 5 am thoughts on the product.

In this episode, I run through some things I like and don't like about the Whoop Strap and some of the lessons I've learned along the way.  Remember, treat the patient not the monitor.

Plus a possible way to keep using it in the future...maybe.

If you've used a fitness wearable for some time now, I'd like to hear from you.  Hit me up on social @4thShiftfitness and email [email protected]
