Built By Bloodline

The 2026 CrossFit Open is finished (depending one when you listen to this) and we are so proud of all the athletes who competed their butts off, and we'd like to say thank you to all the athletes who were here on these past few Fridays for being so patient and understanding if you weren't in the Open. Give it a listen to hear our real time thoughts on The Open this year, hope you enjoy! Song - Now Or Never II Artist - Tkandz & Lil Baby

2/25/26 ladies & Gentlemen this was an absolute blast of a podcast, where both coaches chose their teams in the first of what we hope to be an annual intramural Bloodline CrossFit Open. This was meant to be fun, unique and a new way to enjoy the Open (potentially). We were not trying to hurt feelings or any of that, we honestly had a blast with it, and I hope you guys enjoy and give it a listen. Song - Let Em Know Artist- T.I.

12/17/25 A little bit of an unusual, but a very fun episode of the podcast where we go over some of the Google reviews we've had over the years. No pressure, but if you have some time, it would do us a huge favor if you could write a positive Google review for us! Hope you enjoy the episode. Artist - Olivia DeanSong- Man I Need

12/3/2025 - The main purpose of this podcast was to get everyone locked in for the completion of 2025 and into the New Year!! There are numerous ways to handle the holidays and many people tell themselves that they will "start strong" at the beginning of the New Year. We don't believe in that mindset, and we honestly worry and are concerned for those who feel like they will be able to get right b ack into the swing of things "easily". Health and Fitness is something that should be maintained, and there was some tough talk today, but I hope you find it motivating.Artist - NFSong - Motto

The title might give one of those three away, but you have to listen to see the real meaning behind why that is a legit question. Second, we talked about how to handle having bad days at the gym and why it's okay for it to happen. Third, we go over why standards are so important to our gym culture and why we think that it has been so refreshing lately with our athletes buying in to why standards are so important.

5/28/2025 The guys reminisce going down memory lane from when they first started CrossFit and the interesting roads they both took as beginners in the CrossFit space. The biggest thing to take away from this episode is to understand that you may see someone incredibly advanced at CrossFit, but to remember that they did not start there right from the beginning. Consistency, Intensity, proper mechanics and nutrition will guide you to what you're looking for in this training methodology - emphasis on the consistency!! Song - DropArtist - Forrest Frank

Tune in :) Artist - Forrest FrankSong - Life Is Good

The guys go back and forth over their thoughts of the 2025 CrossFit Games open, not just from an overall competition perspective, but also how it went inside the gym walls here at Bloodline CrossFit. Reminder, The Open is a great time of year to test ourselves and compete against each other - but our gym is much more than that. We have incredible athletes on the men's and women's side, but what's even more important to us, as coaches, is the community the community we continue to try and grow and prosper in this amazing place. Song - Just Lose ItArtist - Eminem

3/12/25 - The guys breakdown what they think is the problem with the CrossFit Open in its current state over the last two years and some ways to potentially improve it going forward.

Holy hell I almost forgot to upload the episode!! Huge recap from last week, going over mom's surgery and the Bloodline Brawl. Thank you to everyone who's been tuning in these latest episodes, all the comments and concerns have been absolutely incredible. You Guys are the best!! Song - AngelsArtist - Chance The Rapper

Emotions run high lol sorry for another one of these episodes, but as we talked about in the episode, you guys do so much more for us than you can ever realize just by showing up day after day. We love what we do, and love you guys so much. Thank you!!Song - Still SmilingArtist - Andy Grammer

This episode honestly went in all different directions lol. It might sound like happiness, anger, kindness, frustration all in a 20ish minute time frame, but the big thing we want to get across is how proud we are of the work being put in this week. Lets have a consistent attendance to finish it up on weds, thurs, and fri as well. Artist - Major LazerSong - Lean On

Sorry for the language on this episode, but a "New Year, New Me" attitude is BS!!...and it was a fiery episode to say the least. High expectations for ones self, as well as those around them is not wrong. So many people need a kick in the butt and usually it comes from someone else...other times you have to be okay looking yourself in the mirror and telling yourself it's time to get my sh*t together! Artist - Bryce VineSong - Take Me Home

We had a great interaction with a fellow gym owner around the area asking if we were going to consider having an intermediate division at the Bloodline Brawl this year, this episode touches a lot of different bases just from that one convo. We hope you enjoy!!Artist - Kid LaroiSong - Nights Like This

Top 10 Attendance and Top 10 PR leaderboards are announced on the podcast episode today and we have a brand new record, shattering the record from last year. You'll have to tune in to find out which record that is! Artist - DrakeSong - Do Not Disturb

It was a good episode to get some thoughts off of our minds for the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. The consistent theme of the episode is whether completion of goals were achieved or no goals were completed, the journey never stops and comfort is the enemy as you continue your fitness journey. Some people might look at this as a tough love episode, in our opinion it was a great chance to talk about improving your self assessment as you go through day to day training. Artist - Aimee CartySong - 2 Days Into College

Thanksgiving episode with the guys breaking down Thanksgiving as well as what they're thankful for! Slight mention of Bloodline Brawl as well.... Artist - Adam SandlerSong - Thanksgiving Song

Kegs and Kilos is this weekend and we have 10 teams competing out at CrossFit 239. The big topic of discussion fell right towards the middle of the podcast, end of year motivation. Are you struggling with end of year motivation? Do you have a lot going on? We get it, here's some ways to try and attack it in the remainder of the last of the year.Song - Sour Patch KidsArtist - Bryce Vine

Deep dive on something going on in Jake & Zach's personal lives. In crisis situations, how do you react? How do you treat other when things are going wrong? Do you take out your frustrations on them? We've been there. This is a good one.Song - Port AntonioArtist - J. Cole

Today's episode is all about catching up after the hurricane and talking about life in Florida for the past 9 years since we've down in October of 2015. Please check it out and enjoy! Artist - ShaboozeySong- Highway

On todays episode we go over the week of training in the beginning portion of the pod, and then beautifully transition into last week's goals clinic and how awesome it was to not only give people feedback on Nutrition and Workout goals for the end of the year, but also to receive feedback from our athletes to be able to continue to try and make our gym the best around, not only for ourselves, but for our athletes.Song - Baby Come BackArtist - Kid Laroi
