Here in Texas, we are going into our second week of “Stay At Home,” and its clear most of us are going a little stir crazy. Many of us use the gym as a get-away or stress relief, even if going to the gym means twenty minutes on a cardio machine and aimless wondering for the next forty. Most people are trying to get into running to stay fit, and I respect that, but it isn’t something that many of us would look forward to daily. Others are searching social media for at-home workouts posted by influencers, but its week two or three of bodyweight squats, pushups, situps, and we are bored. Most everyone has to change their style of exercise to stay fit, but not CrossFitters. A good CrossFit gym is keeping its members fit by staying in constant contact with their members and keeping them engaged, customizing workouts,...

So its Friday, and it doesn’t feel like Friday. Most weeks end with relief and some congregation, but not this Friday. This Friday, we will all be homebodies, and we will all Netflix and Chill. My sister has been staying with us through this ‘stay at home order.’ As I am sure, you have seen in my videos. One thing that our mom taught us both to do was cook. She made home-cooked meals regularly and had us help her often. Katy is a great cook and makes most of her meals off the top of her head. Yesterday she said she was going to make eggs on avocado toast, so we filmed it. Here’s the video, enjoy! Monday, I am going to be adding to our current online program that we are offering. Right now, you have the CrossFit program as well as the HOME program. Both we have...

So in my life before coronavirus, I had a rigorous routine. I would wake up at the same time every day and go to bed at the same time. I coached the same classes and had my hours blocked out throughout the entire day around my coaching ours. I even time block my workout time, and if I didn’t finish, then I didn’t finish. Each day was time blocked out for different tasks that I wanted to accomplish during that day. Now I am stuck at home, and finding a routine to get into has been pretty tough. I found a resource online and made my time block “At HOME” day based on the last day or two. This may change if they lower some of the restrictions, and I try to get back out and do house calls, but for now, this is how I am structuring my day....

Coaching is more than explaining workouts and making sure your athletes are safe. This is why at our gym, we call our instructors Coaches and not Trainers. We are more than a trainer, and because I am a coach, I realize I am so incredibly lucky. I’m trying to find a silver lining here, but it’s hard. What I do know is I love coaching, and any small gym business guru would tell me, “Richard, you need to stop working in your business and work on it.” And I get that, I’m pretty savvy to the game, but man, I can’t pull myself away from it. I miss it so bad right now. I know I am only a couple of days removed, but I realize how addicted to it I am. I love seeing people smile when it clicks, coaching people to move better and, most of all, the...

Hey Everyone! So in almost all of my recent emails, I have mentioned coaching you from your home while you’re forced to take time away from the gym. I have received a lot of questions on this, so I want to try and give out some information on what I want to do to help you. First off, as long as you are a member of BWCF, you will be able to receive the “HOME” workouts through Wodify. I am working on getting some videos for you each day so that you can get some insight into the workouts that you are doing. I have been training athletes remotely since 2017. It is something that I have become quite good at and understand what it takes to keep my athletes engaged, encouraged, and fit. I currently have five athletes that I train remotely, and before we moved to the new...
