Josh and Jack sit down with member Em Lazott to discuss Em's fitness journey, music, and how living out your passions can be scary and why you should do it anyways. 

Andrew and Jack join Josh in discussing opportunity cost associated with goals. At some point in every athlete's journey they reach a point where gaining ground towards "x" will inevitably mean losing (or significantly slowing progress) on "y." 

How does this play into the greater picture? How can we use this information to better choose and stick to goals? And why sometimes going "too far" is the best lesson. 

Dave Dillon joined our FitTown coaching team at the end of 2022.  Dave is a former business owner and soccer coach, who is excited to take his passion for coaching and people to help our FitTown community.  He has been doing CrossFit for about 12 years, with over 4 of those years being with us.  This episode shares more of Dave's story and why he decided to be a coach.  

As we close out 2022 and embark on another new year in 2023, many people will consider setting New Years Resolutions.  This is a great time to reflect on the past year and put a plan in place for the next year.  The coaches discuss the benefits and drawbacks of setting resolutions, and how to give yourself the highest chance of success if you do choose to set them for yourself.  

Coaches Jack, Josh, and Andrew debate their favorite and least favorite holiday movies, foods, gadgets, gift ideas, and more. 

Coach Andrew, Jack, and Josh share and relive some of their favorite moments from competing in fitness.  They discuss their motivations and reasons for competing to help you find more purpose and growth through competition.  

We have a very special 100th episode in store for you all! 

This episode speaks for itself. Erica is a very special member and has been at FitTown for over 8 years. Outside of the gym she’s a massage therapist, but what she does goes far beyond that.

She considers herself a “Light Spreader” and in today’s episode we discuss how you can go beyond just a physical transformation both inside and outside the gym.

In the gym we either see a new person who specializes in something else like running or bodybuilding and they’re coming to our program for something more general or well rounded, or we see people who are already in our program and have developed their general fitness, but are looking to specialize in something more specific like run a marathon or do a triathlon.

We want to talk about this because when people come from strictly one direction or the other, they start to think of one as being “better” than the other, when that’s not really the case. In this episode, we’ll provide context around the generalist and specialist and the purposes they both serve.

We have so many clients come to us wondering if they should try a vegan or vegetarian diet. 

Unlike other diets where people are focused mostly on aesthetic results, the vegan or vegetarian diet is usually paired with deeper intention. 

However, putting this diet on a pedestal or marketing it as the healthiest diet out there isn't necessarily right. If the vegan diet is something you feel called to do or are passionate about, we want to support you in order to help you do it in a safe way.

There are many ways to have a more holistic diet without going vegan, and we'll discuss that in this episode.
