While I understand that my version of Tempo Training won't make you a better CrossFitter, I do believe it can make you much better at CrossFit. The gym that I train at, QCFit, believes this as well and has asked me to help program one day of Tempo Training per week in their next cycle. I'll be sharing more about this on the YouTube Channel, but here's an overview as to how I'm thinking about adding Tempo Training as supplemental training for those pursuing CrossFit.  

In this episode, I'm going to help you say NO more often and give you the framework I use to preserve my energy and time, while not coming off like a complete asshole.  Would you like to be able to hit me up during the day and ask questions about solving problems in your business?  Good news - you can. I work with up to 40 gym owners per month where we communicate DAILY and have a scheduled monthly call. My goal is to help you during tough times of your business and then to GET FIRED.  I want you to be self-sustaining and not in need of constant business coaching.  So when our work is done, I look forward to you firing me. If this interest you, check this out.  Questions?  Shoot me a DM on Instagram @wtfgymtalk

This is a consultation call I had with world-class endurance coach Chris Hinshaw where I outlined my experiment to use Tempo Training to prepare for the 2023 Chicago Marathon.

What's better than 1 person paying to train with you privately?   Two, duh?   But what happens that grows to 3 or 7 people?  How much do you charge?  How should you handle scheduling differences?  Let's chat about it...

Back in 2017, a small startup company hit me up to discuss their business model that installed 24/7 access into microgyms.   I was intrigued but thought it was too early for the microgym market.  So we never really connected. Fast forward to today and I'll admit it - I was wrong.   HybridAF is the leader in providing 24/7 access hardware and software within the microgym industry.   I'm now a firm believer in this concept and how it can significantly improve the appeal and marketing draw for specific microgyms.   https://hybridaf.com/

Nathan Grant saw an opportunity to provide the fitness market with a tool that we've all been cobbling together with plates and curbs and anything else we could prop our heels up on to get a more upright squat.  In 2020, the Slantboardguy was born, and while he has been copied and ripped off by hundreds of new vendors, his drive to connect with the fitness industry (literally driving, in-person to meet people) and innovate his products continues to impress me.  https://slantboardguy.com/us/

Another Respect The Tempo episode for you today where I discuss the concept of 'strength endurance' and why I think it's been neglected by pop-culture fitness for so long.  Make sure you're following along for more content like this over at @respectthetempo

Motivation is high when we start our business because we are just getting started.  It's all improvement from that point which can allow you to stay motivated for a while.  But what do you do when you've hit a moderate level of success and motivation starts to ween?  Here's how I handled that exact situation.
