  • Training with Injuries and Building Resilience

    In this Episode we sit down to talk about training with injuries, and what you can do about it!

    Coach Mario and Coach Matt have both been competitive athletes in all kinds of sports including CrossFit. With a combined 18 years in the CrossFit space, they've learned a lot about fitness, strength, and of course..injury. 

    With so much variance and unknowns in something like CrossFit, injuries are bound to occur. The best you can do is prepare for them and know what to do. The worst thing you can do is give up or simply work through it. In this episode you'll learn why!

    You'll hear about

    • How injuries happen
    • What types of injuries occur (usually)
    • What steps you can take if you think you're hurt
    • How to tell you're actually hurt
    • Some mindset tips to give you a better understanding of your body 
    • Recovery tools and tips

      • This episode is PACKED with information. You might even want to listen TWICE!


      If you can relate or needs some help with any of this - Visit thrivenyc.fit and schedule a free movement screen to see if you're a good fit for our 1:1 coaching. It may be exactly what you need to get out of pain without going to the doctor or missing the gym.

    • Nutrition Q & A

      Matt Gallo is joined again by Coach Frankie Dades in a conversation on the oh-so controversial topic - NUTRITION!

      We use this time to discuss some question we are often asked around diet, mindset, and our experience with nutrition. 

      The purpose of this is to provide insight, not answers. With nutrition everyone is different. You'll need different things in order to be successful. For best results and if you need help, speak with our Nutrition Coach, Chris Garcia. Click here to schedule your free nutrition consult! https://calendly.com/thrive-nyc/launch-nutrition-consult
