Now having been doing CrossFit for 14 years, Mike shares thelessons he’s learned in the gym to help keep him consistent, and how those lessons apply to his life outside of the gym.

Dad, PhD, Coach, Athlete: How CrossFit Brings Structure to Chaos | Itay Ozer | Episode 46

This week on the show, I have a CrossFit Level 1 coach, a Quarterfinals qualifier in the 2026 CrossFit Games season, a new dad, and a man working on his PhD. My guest is Itay Ozer! Itay is a coach and member at CrossFit North Scottsdale, and in this story we explore his background from growing up in Israel playing a variety of sports, to moving to the USA at 16 years old without knowing English, and how sports gave him a way to become a part of the community around him. Then we get into how he found CrossFit, exploring the challenges he faced when he started, what he has learned inside of the gym that helps his life out of it, and how coaching became an opportunity for him to further his own development and the development of the community around him. We wrap the episode with a great conversation about what it means to us to set the example for our families and children as it relates to fitness and exercise. With both of us having young children, we can see how important it is for our kids to see us living a healthy and active lifestyle from a young age, and this conversation shows he we plan to do that for our own families, and how you can for yours as well.

Finding Consistency, Community, & Calm: Why CrossFit Can Change Your Life | Ally Hinrichs | Episode 45

This week’s guest on the podcast shares a story of howCrossFit can change your life in many ways beyond the physical and fitness piece of the puzzle. My guest is Ally Hinrichs and she shares how the CrossFitgym has become a place that brings calm to her life when things get chaotic. As a member at CorssFit North Scottsdale, Ally has learned that the consistency she has in the gym pays off in her life outside of the gym, which is why she stays committed to showing up; because she knows that the alternative of not going is not beneficial for her. Not only does she share her story of her athletic backgroundgrowing up and how that led her to CrossFit, but she also shares the mental practices that she has adopted to help her overcome a victim mentality and remain grateful for what she is able to do day to day. This story is a reminder that CrossFit is so much deeperthan the hard workouts we do. It is building better people to make the world a little bit brighter in whatever way we can.
