The FitTown Show

We often talk about what to eat, and how much to eat, but we rarely discuss how we’re eating. For some people, mindless eating is something they really struggle with. In this episode of the FitTown Show, Coach Danielle sits down with Coach Andrew to discuss how to listen to and be in tune with your body.  We live in a culture of overconsumption, and it's become exceedingly more difficult for...

Andrew Sheffler has been a member at FitTown for almost a year, and today he joins the podcast to discuss his fitness and weight loss journey. Andrew's journey is incredibly unique.

As we head into our final week with a focus on the character trait “Patience”, we thought it would be beneficial to discuss the importance of pacing. There are often misconceptions athletes have regarding pacing that we feel can be cleaned up and improve, and overall give you a better workout experience. Often times people equate pacing with lack of effort, when in reality it’s the opposite. Pacin...

Today on the FitTown Show, Coach Andrew does a solo episode to explain his recent decision to quit drinking. This episode is shorter than most of our previous episode, and it's not meant to convince you to quit drinking. Instead, it's more about habits, as Andrew shares how this experience has made him dig deeper into the "why" behind each action he takes. 

Today, Andrew and Mo sit down to talk about competing versus winning. We'll discuss competing in a healthy way, versus competing in an unhealthy way. Over the past few years we've shifted our focus and evolved away from the competitive side of CrossFit, and are no longer a CrossFit affiliate. We still embrace, love, and see a lot of positives in competition, and want to take this episode to discus...

One of the biggest things we hear members say is, "Of course I feel physically stronger, but I feel mentally stronger as well". We've always focused our programming to be physically beneficial, but we think it's time to shift some of that focus to mental strength as well. With that being said, we're going to start doing some mindset work in our classes and in our programming. Each month, we'll foc...

We rebranded to "Fit...

If you know Coach Mo, you know she loves two things that most athletes dread: burpees and running. Mo ran Cross Country in high school, and the mileage took a tole on her body. She struggled with pain and injury in her feet, knees, and hips that made running miserable.

She's been consistently in 7am FTX for a few years, but for the past 2 months has strictly done BeachFit workouts. She did Nutrition Coaching with Danielle, in order to focus on her health outsid...

A few weeks ago I was trimming trees outside our building, and heard a car crash happen. US 1 had just gone under construction in the name of safety, and here I was witnessing one of several accidents I've seen on the road since. I felt a heavy sense of irony in that moment because I was listening to a book on upstream thinking. In this podcast, I discuss why upstream thinking is more important no...
