Formidable is Family

Join us this week as we talk about how there's just no such thing as shortcuts when it comes to our health and fitness. We're trained to always be looking for shortcuts in life and ways to be more efficient. But anytime we try those shortcuts, they usually end up in traffic jams.

Join us for today's episode where we talk about the difference between healthspan and lifespan. Focus less on how long you'll live and more on how long you can do the things that making living worth it.

Join us for a quick one this week. The message is simple. Who inspires you? How many people in your life help inspire you? How much motivation do you find from them? Keep as much motivation in your life as you can. It's what helps when things get tough.

Today we talk about injuries: How they happen no matter what and how if you have a good fitness routine they are actually less likely to happen and you're more able to recover. We also talk about when they do happen, what to do. The answer is simple, keep working out. Not through the pain, that's where having good guidance from a coach or trainer is paramount. But you can't lose your habit, becaus...

Listen in on this weeks episode as we talk about how watching a pot of water boil is a lot like watching progress happen on our health and fitness journey. Things happen slowly, and then all at once. There's a certain amount of momentum we need to get going until we really start seeing big results. So trust the process and don't give up to early.

Listen in to learn a little more about habit formation. And to hear what we'll be doing for our golden habits challenge phase 2. Cost is $100 dollars for the month.

We all know junk food is bad for us. And most of us understand we are literally what we eat. But many of us forget or don't realize all the content we consume also forms "who we are". Our thoughts and mindset by and large are formed by all the information and content we "consume" through the day. Music, podcasts, news, commercials, TV, social media feeds, coworkers, friends and family. We are what...

Join us today as we talk about the best way to deal with the critic in your head. We all have those negative thoughts or voices in our head. The ones, that doubt and ridicule us. That tell us we can't do something, or we aren't good enough. The best cure for this is ACTION.

We have a special guest today, the one and only Katie Adams. She is the founder and owner of CrossFit Formidable. Join us today as we talked about the injuries and obstacles Katie has overcome in her fitness journey. We all struggle, that's a common theme. And Success isn't a straight path forward and often times starting it is the hardest damn part. And no matter where you're at, there's going to...

Listen in today and hear how we can re-frame what success is and define it on our own terms. The outcomes are not what define success, its the inputs. This way no matter what's going on outside our control we can still be successful. When we focus on the right things, wins stack up, momentum builds and external success starts to manifest.

In this episode, we explore the trap of perfectionism and how it often hinders progress in fitness and life. The biggest danger is not trying something because we won't be "good at it" or for many people, not starting their fitness journey until they get in shape, or fix an injury or lose a little weight. Being healthy is all about doing. And it doesn't have to look or even feel good at first. And...

Join us today as we talk about gratitude, discomfort and growth. And how when we understand it's usually the uncomfortable things we don't like that lead to progress and growth. And in that light, we can find (sometimes) a little more gratitude for the hard things in life.

Join us today and listen in while Reid talks about how there is never a perfect time to start, but the closest thing to a perfect time is now. When we wait to start trying to achieve our fitness goals it makes starting the next day even harder. We're scared of starting and maybe failing, and we forget that every day we wait it gets harder and harder. Now's the time to start and we are here to help...

Join Coach Katie today as she walks you through what the Golden Habits Challenge will consist of and how it can help transform your habits... and your life!

Life throws challenges our way, and avoiding them doesn't make things easier—it makes us unprepared . Dr. Andrew Huberman calls it "limbic friction"—that mental resistance to effort. But every time you push through discomfort, you're casting a vote for your stronger, more resilient self. Want to build confidence, resilience, and agency? Practice doing hard things on purpose . Not sure where to sta...

Join us today as we talk about what makes the Holiday season really hard and why it is more important than ever to stick with you healthy habits, like going to the gym. And if you are waiting to start those habits for the new year. Don't! Now is the best time to start!

In this episode, we dive into why going all-in on your fitness goals can make habit-building easier. Learn how treating workouts as non-negotiable—like a car payment—removes decision fatigue and helps you stay consistent. From scheduling your "rocks" to letting less important habits adapt, we’ll share actionable tips to create a foundation for long-term health and success. Tune in and start buildi...

Starting a new fitness journey can feel overwhelming, whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time or you're an experienced athlete trying CrossFit. That’s why our Onramp program at CrossFit Formidable is so important. Listen in to learn more.

So many of us are good at doing things for other people. We take a lot of pride in helping others. Our self identity is one of being helpful; oftentimes at a detriment to our own health. We do things at work for our bosses and coworkers. We do things at home for our kids and our spouses. And then when we do things for ourselves we usually resort to "relaxing" with screens; TV, social media, and en...

Listen in as Reid with CrossFit Formidable talks about the two different workouts you want/need every time you go into the gym. There's the workout our mind wants, and the one our body needs. The more aligned we can make those two the more success we are going to find in reaching our goals, and creating lasting habits, and being a healthier, happier person.

Today we'll touch on a different way to visualize what might be causing pain in the body. And what for most people the missing recipe is for working with that pain, not through it.
