  • Ackerman bribed me…

    …with the promise of snuggles and Eskimo kisses, but he’s a cute (and maniacally persistent) lil gremlin, so who am I to deny some TLC?

    He didn’t like my first review from… 4 years ago…? Ask him, I guess… I don’t remember the date, but I he could definitely tell you. He told me that he wrote it in his diary and detailed so many sleepless nights. 😮‍💨

    Real talk, though, these guys are great! BHOTD is an incredible resource in any of the wide and varied forms they offer to absorb it. The podca... more

  • Incredible

    Had the chance to meet and be coached by Fern at my L2, so inspired by his dedication and knowledge. Him and Jason Ackerman, share valuable insight and experience about how to navigate the obstacles of coaching.

    Outstanding, reignited my passion to be the best coach I can be.

  • Great for CrossFit... not so much for conspiracy theories

    Decent podcast when it comes to to discussing CrossFit, but one of the hosts seems to have gone down the conspiracy theory funnel. It’s not something uncommon to see in some CrossFit circles, but being able to hold information objectively is fairly important. My hope is that spiral out doesn’t continue to make its way into the episodes.
