Summary:
2026 CrossFit Garage Events Calendar: The podcast outlines upcoming gym events including a January nutrition kickoff, Gym Resolutions workouts, CrossFit Open starting February 26th, Oak Mountain Adventure Race (March 21st), Savage Race (March 28th), True Challenge competition (April 18th), and a gym get-together at Andy's house on June 12th.
Community Beyond Workouts: The gym offers several community groups including men's group, outdoor group, climbing group, D&D/board games group, and prayer group. Members regularly meet for mountain biking, races, and other activities that foster connection beyond fitness.
What to Expect in Your First Three Months: The first month is about adjusting to movements and building awareness, with minimal visible changes. In month two, strength gains become noticeable as body mechanics improve, and clothing fits differently. By month three, significant transformation occurs as weight loss becomes more apparent and others notice your progress.
CrossFit Explained: CrossFit is defined as "constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity" but Andy describes it more personally as "a place of community working out strategically and efficiently with a coach" to improve body, mind, and connections with others.
Workout Structure and Scaling: Classes are one hour with workouts typically lasting 8-12 minutes. Every movement can be scaled or modified for any fitness level or injury. Scaling adjusts reps or weight, while modifying changes the actual movement to accommodate limitations.
Common Beginner Concerns: You don't need to be in shape before starting, as CrossFit meets you where you are. Soreness is inevitable but manageable by starting slowly. The community is supportive, so there's no need to feel embarrassed or nervous. CrossFit is safe when done properly with coach guidance.
Tracking Progress and Results: The gym uses Wodify to track workouts, helping members see improvement over time. Results vary by individual, but visible body composition changes typically begin around 3 months, though performance improvements happen sooner.
Nutrition Guidance: Andy personally advocates a carnivore diet but generally recommends whole foods including meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds while avoiding sugar and processed foods. He emphasizes that nutrition is crucial for optimal results.
Community as Motivation: The shared experience of overcoming challenges builds strong bonds between members. This community aspect helps with motivation and consistency, which are key factors in achieving fitness goals.
Consistency Over Intensity: The most important factors for success are showing up consistently (ideally 3-5 times per week) and not doing anything that would prevent you from returning the next day. Progress comes from consistency rather than going too hard too soon.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
