Crying with Joe Schinner Over CrossFit and Building Community

EPISODE 4 -- CRYING WITH JOE SCHINNER OVER CROSSFIT AND BUILDING COMMUNITY

In this very special episode, Brooke and Lyze welcome their VERY FIRST GUEST: Joe Schinner, Owner of Crossfit Total Control West (aka the gym where their own friendship and the vision for this podcast started).

Joe -- the only person they know capable of reversing negative self talk -- dives into how CrossFit creates a sense of community, the power of positivity, and why fitness spaces can become safe havens.

From gym cries to CrossFit Total Control's annual bike and booze, Brooke, Lyze, and Joe explore the power of showing up, finding your people, and creating a culture of support inside -- and outside -- the gym. Joe shares his perspective as both a coach and community-builder, and Brooke and Lyze reflect on how their CrossFit circle has shaped their own lives.

Don't worry, this episode is not just for the CrossFitters. Whether you're a CrossFit athlete simply searching for a stronger sense of belonging, or simply curious how fitness can spark genuine connections, this episode is packed with all the stories, laughs, and special secrets to help you find (or build) your community.
