Chasing Excellence

👊 Weekly Newsletter & the Chase Club

We’re jumping into questions from members of the Chase Club around maintaining healthy relationships, starting a personal training business, improving CrossFit competitiveness, and dealing with grief during workouts.

We also discuss strategies for identifying and overcoming weaknesses in CrossFit, and the importance of allowing space for grief in one's fitness journey.
