<p>This week on Above The Standard we sit down with two of our members, Steph and Kev, an engaged couple who both train at CrossFit Topside. Steph is a nurse anesthetist who found us after gaining 60 pounds in grad school and being convinced CrossFit was a room full of meatheads. It wasn't. Kev comes from a music background and didn't do many sports growing up. Today he's in the gym before class working on new skills. We get into the fear that keeps people from ever walking through the door, what actually changes when you get consistent, how the gym rippled out into the rest of their lives, and why training together has been good for their relationship.If you feel intimidated to start CrossFit for the first time, this one's for you.👉 Book a free consult and take the first step: https://www.crossfittopside.com/free-consultation/</p>

He was one of our first eleven members, showed up before we even had a full gym, and has been here ever since.In this episode of the CrossFit Topside Podcast, Francisco sits down with Kevin and Hayley to talk about what keeps a founding member coming back three and a half years later. He works at ESPN, lives two minutes from the gym, and has a soon to be 2 year old daughter.We cover what it felt like to walk in on day one not knowing CrossFit, how fatherhood completely changed his reason for showing up, and why two non-negotiable days a week has been enough to keep him progressing.If you're a parent trying to figure out how fitness fits into a full life, this one is for you.👉 Book a free consult and take the first step: https://www.crossfittopside.com/free-consultation/</p>

<p>At 48, Eric Reese is running sub-7-minute miles, fitting into size 32 pants, and showing up for his kids in ways he never thought possible. Two years ago, none of that was on the table.In this episode of the Above the Standard Podcast, Eric sits down with Kevin to talk about what it actually looks like to rebuild after a divorce, a layoff, losing his dad, and years of using two glasses of whiskey every night just to wind down.We cover the fear that almost kept him from walking in the door, what finally made something click and why the community inside the gym matters just as much as the workouts.This isn't a fitness transformation story. It's a life story and fitness just happens to be a big part of it.If any of it sounds familiar, this episode is worth a listen.👉 Book a free consult and take the first step: https://www.crossfittopside.com/free-consultation/</p>
