Defiant CrossFit

Your first kipping pull-up doesn’t come from just swinging harder. There’s a progression to it.

Here’s a simple one we used in class to help athletes work toward their first rep.

Some got it. Others got one step closer. Both matter.

That’s what coaching is for.

Consistency is coached.💪🫡

“Cheers to a new life.”
I was 18 years old when I said that, and at the time I really had no idea what those words would eventually mean.

For a long time I constantly listened to the voice in my head that said, “I’ll do it tomorrow.” I’ll worry about it later. I don’t have the money. I don’t have the resources. I can’t get out of my hometown. I’d rather get high. There was always some reason to put off the things I knew I needed to do.

Andy Frisella talks about how we all have two voices. Your “bitch voice” and your “boss voice.” The bitch voice is always going to give you the easier option, and every day we have a choice of which one we’re going to listen to.

I still hear that voice all the time. The biggest difference now is that I’m aware of it. Once I became aware of it, I started noticing how many of these little decisions we actually make every single day.

Am I going to get up or hit snooze? Do the work or put it off? Have the difficult conversation or avoid it? Stay comfortable or do something that is going to make me better?

I don’t always make the right decision, but I try to choose the boss voice more often than I choose the other one. Because all of those small decisions add up, and every time I make the right one I’m getting a little closer to the person I’m trying to become. A better coach, athlete, father, friend, fiancé, and just a better man overall.

I used to think success was somewhere you eventually arrived. The older I get, the more I realize that success is the continued pursuit of becoming who you know you’re capable of being. It’s continuing to grow, continuing to learn, and continuing to chase the person you know you’re meant to be.
As cliché as it sounds, there really isn’t a finish line. It’s the journey.

14 years later, I think I finally understand what I meant when I said…

Cheers to a new life.

Welcome to Morgan’s World 😂

A little training, a lot of personality, and an all-around good morning at the box.

Like he said, “Be strong and be healthy.”

We’re excited to be part of this year’s Deutschen Pfest 5K! 🏃‍♂️

We’ll be there warming everyone up, hanging out, and bringing a few extras for race day.

October 17 — come run with us! 👊
