   Jason Ansley of WFP talks Atlantic Coast Classic CHANGES, July 4th & the Future of ACC | Ep. 88

   The Atlantic Coast Classic is entering a new chapter, and not everyone is happy about it. So let’s talk about it.On Episode 88 of the Wex Appeal Podcast — Barbells, Beats & Buffoonery — I’m sitting down with Jason Ansley, President of World Fitness Project, for a conversation about the Atlantic Coast Classic, the upcoming changes, and what’s next for one of the events with a long history in the functional fitness community.I’ve been supporting ACC since the days of previous ownership and Bacon Beatdown, so this conversation comes from the perspective of someone who cares about the event and where it’s headed.We’re getting into the questions the community is asking:🔥 The new dates: Why the July 4th weekend timing in Daytona Beach has people talking.🏨 The cost factor: Hotel prices, travel expenses, and what the new location and dates could mean for athletes and families.👊 The kids’ competition: Concerns about the future of youth competition and what that means for the next generation of athletes.🏋️ The programming debate: Has ACC’s programming gotten stale, and what can be done to keep the event fresh, challenging, and exciting?🎤 The future of ACC: An open conversation about change, community expectations, and the direction of the event.This isn’t about blindly defending an event or tearing it down. It’s about asking questions, hearing perspectives, and having the conversations that matter to the functional fitness community.What do YOU think about the new Atlantic Coast Classic dates and the move to stay in Daytona Beach?
