Ep. 4 | Redefining Strength
In this conversation, we unpack what it means to truly “get stronger.” Yes, we talk back squats, percentage work, and max days—but the real weight we’re interested in is the internal kind: belief, self-trust, and the courage to show up fully.
Whether you're an athlete, a coach, or someone simply navigating their own growth process, this episode explores the edges that shape us.
We reflect on the mindset behind max effort days, the stories athletes carry into the gym, and how great coaching has less to do with cues—and more to do with connection. This one’s for anyone who’s ever questioned their own capacity, and for the coaches who help them reclaim it.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
Why heavy is always relative—and deeply personal
Max day nerves, missed lifts, and what they really reveal
The psychology of “scaling” and how it’s often misunderstood
From timidity to confidence: trust as the bridge
Holding a vision of strength that includes body, mind, and heart
How tracking data empowers ownership—not just performance
Why coaching with heart beats hype, every time
Why This Topic Matters:
Strength is often reduced to a number—to a weight on a bar or a score on a leaderboard. But in real life, strength shows up in far more nuanced ways: in your ability to face discomfort, to trust yourself under pressure, and to stay in the process even when progress feels slow. This conversation challenges the conventional metrics and invites a deeper, more human look at what it really means to be strong. It matters because the gym is just one place we practice—but life is where it all plays out.

Ep. 3 | Why CrossFit? The Other 85%
We didn’t open a CrossFit gym to do something different—we opened one to do it well.
In this episode, Dr. Devynne and Dr. James share the story behind why they opened a CrossFit affiliate as practicing Doctors of Acupuncture and Chinese medicine—and what it means to build a space where the “other 85%” feel like they belong.Not because we’re not CrossFit, but because we are.
This episode explores:
-- Our journey from clinical care to coaching and back again
-- The overlap between physical movement and mental/emotional health
-- How we’re holding space for seasoned athletes and brand-new movers—side by side
-- What we believe CrossFit has always been about: helping people do life better
Whether you’ve been lifting for 15 years or just picked up a PVC pipe last week, you’re welcome here.
Because CrossFit is for all of us.And we’re building the box we needed—one that meets people where they are and helps them grow from there.
