  • 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.

CrossFit Benelux Country Manager Wes Cloos
Q: Tell us a bit about your backstory and how you found CrossFit and got on seminar staff, leading to becoming a country manager.
Wesley describes discovering CrossFit in 2010 after an injury, starting with DIY training in a backyard setup, earning his Level 1, meeting early CrossFit figures, and gradually taking on more leadership roles, which eventually led to country management and regional responsibilities.
Scaling | Breaking Down The CrossFit Level 1 Guide (Again)
Q: Ari, before we get started, why don't you talk a little bit about what the point of scaling is, what we're looking to do?
Scaling preserves the workout stimulus so that athletes across different ability levels get a similar training effect, adjusting load, speed, and volume to fit each person while keeping the intended stimulus intact.
Forged for the Future: The Next Era of CrossFit | CrossFit CEO Bruce Edwards
Q: What's the core relationship you want to redefine between HQ and affiliates?
A true partnership where HQ provides the best tools, training, and media support, while affiliates deliver exceptional coaching and build the community; both sides must stay focused on the mission.
Nutrition | Breaking Down The CrossFit Level 1 Guide (Again)
Q: How does the Zone diet fit into this framework?
The Zone diet uses a 40-30-30 macronutrient split per meal to stabilize insulin and energy, making tracking simple and helping maintain hormonal balance.
Nutrition | Breaking Down The CrossFit Level 1 Guide (Again)
Q: Why is protein emphasized in the nutrition plan?
Protein provides essential amino acids for tissue repair and hormones, and ensuring adequate protein per meal improves satiety and reduces blood sugar fluctuations, aiding recovery and performance.
