Episode 37: Why You Should Visit Other CrossFit Gyms

Many of us who are part of the CrossFit culture don’t take breaks when we travel for business or even when we are on vacation.  Drop-ins are excellent opportunities to meet new people, have new experiences and create new relationships. 

This week, we talk about why you should visit other CrossFit gyms when you are out and about.  Also you get to hear the story about how a random drop-in had a significant impact on Brody on his journey to becoming the coach and owner he is today.  

Conversely, Mo shares a negative experience he had on a a recent vacation.  Let’s just say he is still waiting on a call from a gym in New York about their class schedule and drip-in pricing.

At the end of the day, you can learn something from every drop-in experience.  Hopefully they are good, but it’s safe to say that you may also “Learn” some things in your travels as well as the result of a negative interaction.

Episode 36: Respect Your Gains…“It’s Only 5 Pounds”

It’s ok to fail in CrossFit!  Plain and simple.  So long as you learn something about yourself in the process, it's a win. Don’t look at it as a ‘loss’, look at it as a ‘learning’ opportunity.  

Don’t get caught up if someone has a 10 pound PR and you had 5.  Don’t get caught up if you only had a 1 pound PR.  Gains are gains so respect them.

Listen in as Mo's frustrations turn in to a math lesson as Bro runs the number on how much of a difference 5 pounds makes over a training cycle.

Episode 35: Competing At The Next Level In CrossFit

In Episode 18: When and Why Should I Compete, the team talked to you about when you should compete in your first CrossFit Competition. So now that you have advanced up through the Scaled and Intermediate ranks, what to do now?

Taking your competition game to the next level obviously has skill and strength requirements.  But what else do you have to do?  Do you work out more…less?  Do you go heavier harder…lighter longer?  Change your diet?  Do you need a coach?

Call To Action:

What are your goals when it comes to competitions?  Podium or nothing? I am testing my fitness?  I am here for the BBQ?  Let us know what you do.

Episode 34: Outside the 60 Minutes

For those of you that have had the chance to listen back to “Episode 1: What is the One More Rep Podcast?” one of the things the guys discussed is that the focus of this show is to highlight the things in the CrossFIt world that are not covered in a normal 1 hour class.  

In Episode 34, Mo and Bro talk about offerings outside of class such as personal training sessions, clinics, and nutrition coaching and how they fit into the CrossFit ecosystem.  Amid all of this, Brody shares his philosophy on why he chooses not to charge for certain things.

Call to Action:  Tell us about any recent clinics you’ve taken and how you felt about them.
