Ep.45: What Makes a Good CrossFit Gym? May 15, 2014

Show notes

What do you love about your CrossFit gym? What have you not-loved-so-much about other gyms? In this episode we discuss what makes a good gym, what the heck a “CrossFit community” even means, the differences between big and small gyms, coaching styles, and what to do if you love CrossFit but your gym isn’t quite the right fit. We also talk about vision boards, because Claire made her first vision board this weekend and Joy is a vision board veteran. Who once made a vision board for her love life and hung it in the southwest corner of her house. Because y’know, feng shui. Are you actually surprised? I didn’t think so.

Ep.44: Goals and Karaoke May 08, 2014

Show notes

Summer is almost here, which means it’s time for a new set of goals. But first, we decide to revisit our old goals from last August (dang it does not seem that long ago!) and reflect on the fact that sometimes, not accomplishing a goal can tell you even more about yourself than achieving a goal can. In this episode, Claire & Joy also discuss Christmas Abbott’s recent Instagram booty shot that garnered someÂ negative comments from fans, and talk about self-confidence and whether or not you should ever feel the need to cover up in public just because someone else thinks you should–whether that means covering up your butt, your opinions, or your true talents (Hint: Nope, definitely not). Last but not least, Brandon makes his podcast debut in what is likely the biggest tangent to ever grace the GGW airwaves.

Ep.43: Life Changes May 01, 2014

Show notes

Well guys, it’s official… Claire is quitting her job to start coaching CrossFit! Kinda crazy and kinda awesome. So obviously that calls for an episode about life changes, goals, expectations, and redefining the way we plan our lives… and then Joy says some stuff that reminds usÂ that sheÂ is an actual real-life therapist. Right, that. In this episode, we also talk about Week 2 of the Accountable Eating Challenge, what to do when you get in a rut with your workouts, and the fact that Claire might be the only person under 200 lbs to ever try the Lift Big Eat Big AJAX “Strength Program for Functional Fitness.” Oh also, it’s the 10th Anniversary of Mean Girls, and Joy is wearing so much pink in this episode that you can almost hear it. Listen closely.

Ep.42: This Episode is Actually About CrossFit Apr 24, 2014

Show notes

Do you struggle with double unders? How about kipping pull-ups? Snatches? Cleans? Um… anything and everything? It’s ok, because so do Joy and Claire. In this episode, we take some listener questions and give our best tips for conquering the elusive double-under, for stringing together more kipping pull-ups, and we barely go on any tangents! Well, except for one about Lindsay Lohan’s Instagram account. And another one about Rich Froning and his, err… playbook. Ok, so there might be some tangents. We also chat about the GGW Accountable Eating Challenge, which is officially in full swing, and we find out that the actor who played Damian in Mean Girls is apparently actually almost too gay to function, like in real life. Raise your hand if you feel like you already knew that (or if you’ve ever been personally victimized by Regina George).

Ep.40: Blame It On The Kardashians Apr 10, 2014

Show notes

Did you guys know that April is supposed to be an astrological rebirth with all sorts of eclipses and astrological… stuff? Well, apparently it is, so in this episode we spend some time talking about moons and third houses and planetary turmoil… And then Joy admits that the stars have had nothing to do with her stress, and that in fact she’s been having an existential crisis brought on by Sunday marathons of the Kardashians. April also means that it’s almost summer, and we decide that it’s ok to want to not look pale and squishy in a bikini, so we are hosting a nutrition challenge starting April 21st! Nom nom nom. Wait, did we talk about CrossFit in this episode? Hmm…

Ep.39: Christmas Joye Abbott Apr 03, 2014

Show notes

Does this episode even need a description? We sat down at CrossFit Eminence for 50 whole minutes with one of the most badass and inspiring women in CrossFit: The one and only Christmas Abbott. If you have been listening to GGW for even one day you will understand how big of a deal this was for us. In this episode, we ask Christmas about the early days of CrossFit, coming back from injury, her seminars and upcoming trip to Cabo, booty shorts (of course) and lots more. Plus the real reason you need to start practicing toes-to-bar, like yesterday. Did I mention that Christmas Abbott is on this frickin episode? Say it with me… YAAY!

Ep.38: Ditching 14.4 Mar 27, 2014

Show notes

Are you sort of over the Open? Because we really are. So much so that Claire ditched 14.4 and doesn’t even feel a little bit bad about it. But 14.5 will be here soon, and then we can get on with our lives! In this episode, Claire also recaps her hut trip and considers signing up for a GORUCK Challenge this summer. Joy reminisces about 14.4, grad school sleep studies, and the fact that she was way more ripped when she used to do Power Yoga. Who knew? We also discuss an email from a reader who wants to know what the heck it meant when a friend told her she “couldn’t tell” she did CrossFit. Is that supposed to be a compliment? Um, thanks?

Ep.37: Dentists, Thigh Gaps, and 14.4 Mar 21, 2014

Show notes

14.4 is here and we have no frickin idea what that even means. Turns out that we’ve never rowed for calories before, and Claire did her first ever toes-to-bar tonight after hearing the announcement. So, we are sort of flying by the seat of our pants on this one. In this episode, Claire and Joy also talk about the woes of dental work, and address some listener questions about body image. Hot bod, heavy lifts, happy hour… Can you have it all? Not if “it all” includes a thigh gap, we’ve decided. In fact, let’s just stop with the thigh gap thing already, ok universe? Thanks.
