The Crossfit Gym Owner and Coach


Listen Later

If a Crossfitter (Crossfit-ist?) does a burpie but doesn't post it on Instagram, can they still get their gym's logo tattoo'd on their bicep? That answer and other dispatches from the front lines of your cubicle-mates favorite fitness cult when Reid Worthington (Founder, Owner, and Head Coach of Crossfit Lumberyard in Anaheim, CA) joins the podcast this week. 

After returning from a year of playing football overseas with no clear career direction except that he loved coaching and he didn't want to work in an office, Reid founded Crossfit Lumberyard in 2014. With no facility, clients, or business background, and with barely enough money for a set of dumbbells, Reid faced long odds (and even longer hours) in the early years but has since built Lumberyard into one of the premier gyms in Orange County with 200+ members and a sterling reputation. Come along as we talk about Lumberyard's early days, the importance of mentorship, and how Reid responds when he hears the "C-word." (aka: cult) #BackToWork
