Chanelle and I are going to be reading the major training guides and open source materials available through CrossFit. We hope this helps those of you coaches who learn best through listening!

We wanted to talk through two training programs we are implementing to make our coaching team better. We want to give our athletes the very best possible experience and we want to give our coaches easy access to the tools that can best prepare them for advancing their careers. Sounds serious I know but we had fun with this one, talked through these internal courses and hope that we give a sound perspective on what these programs offer to our coaches and put some ideas out there for other gym owners or coaching team leaders to make their tribe stronger and more effective.

In this episode we discuss utilizing the movements and equipment in the sport of Strongman in the context of personal training athletes and in full CrossFit classes. Scaled up or down there are some gems here that could be a massive help to new trainers on a budget or seasoned coaches looking to get back to the fundamentals and offer their clients more of their skill and attention. Enjoy!
