United We Move - Ep 17 - Ashley Andrews

Today we have another episode featuring a person in our community who has a profound impact on it's direction, but who most of you don't know. This person is Ashley Andrews of @nikaathletics and @twobrainbusiness. She is not only an OG CrossFitter, but also a @crossfitaffiliates owner and our business mentor. We discuss her start in @crossfit, how she decided to become a gym owner, why people hire mentors and coaches, and her recent adventure with @beargrylls Eco-Challenge in Fiji.

United We Move - Episode 16 - Patrick Barber

Today Jonathan talks with Pat Barber, aka “The Manimal”. Pat is a former CF athlete competing in the CrossFit Games all the way back to their inception. He has performed a number of roles in the CrossFit community over the years, including competing, coaching at and running affiliates, coaching a new batch of coaches at CrossFit Level 1 Seminars, and currently running several businesses with his wife Taz, including Warmup and Workout, which provides GPP programming for affiliates and gyms around the world. This is our first conversation with someone who resides outside of our gym but still has a significant impact on our community. We appreciate all that he does for us and the community at large. Please give him a warm Move Nation welcome!

United We Move - Episode 14 - Dr Aimee Konieczny

Aimee joined CrossFit East Decatur in early 2011 after first starting CrossFit in the Emory University gym with her fellow peers while completing her Physical Therapy schooling. We discuss what it was like for Aimee during those early days of CrossFit and how her training enhanced her formal education and eventually her decision on how to run her own practice. A lot has happened in her 10 years in fitness, including joining several other gyms and communities, CrossFit Regional competitions, multiple excellent coaches, marriage and two children, and starting her own business.

They discuss Matt's business history before joining the team and what those early days were like for him. They trade memories from the last 9 years at 185 Laredo and talk about what it's like to be fitness coaches and business owners as we are preparing for a new chapter for Move.

On this episode, Jonathan talks with YouTube sensation XoXoKayMo, Kay Mollah! Kay is a self actualized representative for the plus size community and spreads a beautiful message of self-love and grace all while dropping fashion knowledge bombs on her audience.

She liked it so much that she's still with us to this day! We also talk about overcoming anxieties and self-confidence issues that crop up before starting something new as well as what it's like to put yourself out there for the whole world to see.

On this episode of United We Move Podcast, Jonathan talks with Reverend Kim Jackson. Kim has been a member of Move since 2011. She has a wealth of experience in so many areas and we discuss how her time in the gym has benefits that carry over to parts of her life that surprised her, such as her activism and her duties as a priest. We also talk about the importance of taking care of yourself first before taking care of others, her thoughts on communication and gaining perspective through listening, the benefits of being involved in many different communities, inequality in health and wellness, showing yourself grace, and the importance of just showing up.
