7/2/2025 What an awesome debate we had today on the topic of: Do you think someone would cancel their phone, and phone plan or their gym membership first...for us it was a pretty simple debate! Hope you enjoy it as well. July 4th 8am and 9:30am only!

6/25/2025 The guys breakdown this past weekend over in Daytona, FL at the Atlantic Coast Classic which has the largest number of athletes in an 'open" division competition in the state of Florida. We broke down how the Bloodline Crew performed, our thoughts on the competition overall, as well as some things that we encountered while being at the comp that made pause and think. Enjoy!!

6/11/2025 What a great flowing episode of the podcast today starting with assessment of the workout from Monday and Tuesday, and then going directly into talking about the big announcement that Coach Jake is going to be a dad!!!!!! Then finish with a little talk about being a dad or mom, you should never feel selfish for taking care of your health and fitness and going to the gym on a consistent basis.

6/4/2025 Episode was jam packed at the beginning talking about schedule leading up to ACC, both for athletes who are practicing and competing, but also how the gym will be operating that weekend (closed). Also, talked about our (now) annual week off that we take in August. Finally and in depth review of our athletes that competed at the Thunderstruck weightlifting competition this weekend at Thunder Performance and how I viewed it for them with a coaches lens.

5/28/2025 The guys reminisce going down memory lane from when they first started CrossFit and the interesting roads they both took as beginners in the CrossFit space. The biggest thing to take away from this episode is to understand that you may see someone incredibly advanced at CrossFit, but to remember that they did not start there right from the beginning. Consistency, Intensity, proper mechanics and nutrition will guide you to what you're looking for in this training methodology - emphasis on the consistency!!

4/30/25 We had a long list of topics that were supposed to get to, but instead we decided to save some for next week...maybe it was unintentional but at the same time, what an episode. Going over next week's schedule, where we will be traveling for our brothers Ben's wedding. Then we talk about the CrossFit Games Semi-Final workouts for individuals trying to qualify for the 2025 CF Games. Then we talk about Hyrox...

Jake & Zach go over how incredible the end of March was in the gym, leading into the spectacular start to April that we've had these first two days.

One more time talking about the CrossFit Open...we promise. Breaking down the test, and Zach completes the homework from Jake from last week on how he would program the 2026 CrossFit Open using former Open workouts throughout the years. We also get into talking about the transformation challenge and the success that so many of our members had throughout the 10 weeks, but we also talk about how majority of people did not submit their after photos, and why that might be? Tune in :)

Song - Life Is Good

The guys go back and forth over their thoughts of the 2025 CrossFit Games open, not just from an overall competition perspective, but also how it went inside the gym walls here at Bloodline CrossFit. Reminder, The Open is a great time of year to test ourselves and compete against each other - but our gym is much more than that. We have incredible athletes on the men's and women's side, but what's even more important to us, as coaches, is the community the community we continue to try and grow and prosper in this amazing place.

3/12/25 - The guys breakdown what they think is the problem with the CrossFit Open in its current state over the last two years and some ways to potentially improve it going forward. They also talk about self-reflection in your performance post workout regarding expectations going into it, and the potential of not meeting those expectations or goals you have set for yourself when the workout was completed.

3/5/2025  - Coaches Jake & Zach break down 25.1 inside the walls of BLCF and they both give some athletes names who impressed them the most on the Male & Female side. We as coaches couldn't be more proud to see your progress across these competitive workouts. Stay the course, we have two more tough ones left!!

2/20/25 Gonna start dating these! Happy to have another episode out with the focus talking about the CrossFit Open (again) and why you should do it, but no pressure ;). Also talk about upcoming competitions and the big focus that the ACC presents for our gym. Another topic was giving effort in workouts that you don't like, and how to handle those situations. Wrapped up by going down ash;ete of the mon th memory lane on our instagram.

A SPECIAL "guest" (lol) drops in to the podcast and we go through everything going on with our Nutrition Challenge and how to attack some interesting mindsets regarding transforming your body and understanding what it takes to get to your goal weight. We also preview the CrossFit Open and the mindsets we are looking for people to have going into it for this year with all the changes and things happening at CF HQ.

Emotions run high lol sorry for another one of these episodes, but as we talked about in the episode, you guys do so much more for us than you can ever realize just by showing up day after day. We love what we do, and love you guys so much. Thank you!!

Song - Still Smiling

Artist - Andy Grammer

This episode honestly went in all different directions lol. It might sound like happiness, anger, kindness, frustration all in a 20ish minute time frame, but the big thing we want to get across is how proud we are of the work being put in this week. Lets have a consistent attendance to finish it up on weds, thurs, and fri as well.

Song - Lean On

Sorry for the language on this episode, but a "New Year, New Me" attitude is BS!!...and it was a fiery episode to say the least. High expectations for ones self, as well as those around them is not wrong. So many people need a kick in the butt and usually it comes from someone else...other times you have to be okay looking yourself in the mirror and telling yourself it's time to get my sh*t together!

We had a great interaction with a fellow gym owner around the area asking if we were going to consider having an intermediate division at the Bloodline Brawl this year, this episode touches a lot of different bases just from that one convo. We  hope you enjoy!!

Top 10 Attendance and Top 10 PR leaderboards are announced on the podcast episode today and we have a brand new record, shattering the record from last year. You'll have to tune in to find out which record that is!

Song - Do Not Disturb

It was a good episode to get some thoughts off of our minds for the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. The consistent theme of the episode is whether completion of goals were achieved or no goals were completed, the journey never stops and comfort is the enemy as you continue your fitness journey. Some people might look at this as a tough love episode, in our opinion it was a great chance to talk about improving your self assessment as you go through day to day training.

Kegs and Kilos is this weekend and we have 10 teams competing out at CrossFit 239. The big topic of discussion fell right towards the middle of the podcast, end of year motivation. Are you struggling with end of year motivation? Do you have a lot going on? We get it, here's some ways to try and attack it in the remainder of the last of the year.

Deep dive on something going on in Jake & Zach's personal lives. In crisis situations, how do you react? How do you treat other when things are going wrong? Do you take out your frustrations on them? We've been there. This is a good one.

On todays episode we go over the week of training in the beginning portion of the pod, and then beautifully transition into last week's goals clinic and how awesome it was to not only give people feedback on Nutrition and Workout goals for the end of the year, but also to receive feedback from our athletes to be able to continue to try and make our gym the best around, not only for ourselves, but for our athletes.

Song - Baby Come Back

On today's episode we go over the literal definition of CrossFit, defined by the founder, Greg Glassman. We also go over Glassman's definition of fitness, which is considered (by many CrossFitters) as one of the best definitions the term "fitness" has ever received.

14 years ago to the day, on 9/5/2010, our dad passed away taking his own life. I know it's a tough topic, and if it's not your cup of tea nobody will be offended if you skip the episode. We go down memory lane and look at the positives and negatives we've dealt with over the last 14 years, and we also talk about the value and worth we see in every life and second of life we get to live.
