Santiam CrossFit Podcast

Four for four on having a Podcast out weekly! We are red hot and rolling. Nate Hammond joins us and it doesn't take long for us to get distracted with side topics and rants and ravings. From being a (not so) closet boyband fan to being a rapper who had the chance to open for Mike Jones (who?!) Mike Jones! We sit down and talk over a plethora of topics and can't wait for you to listen. Please Like, Subscribe and give us a review! Come back next week for another podcast!

We took a trip! This episode comes to you live from Eagle Crest, Or where four coaches sit down with athlete Brianna Norlander and she gives us some questions regarding goal setting, holiday traditions and we tackle a question posed by Coach Sam "What is your Why?".

We get to interview Brianna Norlander on this episode! She regales us with tales from her former athletic endeavors all the way through finding CrossFit and what being an athlete before, during and after motherhood looks like. Thank you for listening and please subscribe and give us a review! We will return next week with yet another episode as Lance tries to continue to meet his goal of one podcast a week!

This week we have Magic Mike McGowan in the house! Mike is an OG (Original Gangster for those that are unfamiliar with gangsta rap) of SXF. We drill into his background as well as the background of his wife, Katie McGowan, who is a coach here at the gym. Mike is well known for being a jovial and welcoming person at the gym and getting to talk to him and delve into his background was a ton of fun! Stay tuned for next weeks (or so) episode!

We are back! This weeks guest is none other than our Head Coach Sam Posthuma! He is a busy guy and we were happy he was able to sit down with us and let us into his mindset and what fitness has looked like throughout his life. He tells us about his childhood and how he lost over 100 pounds through CrossFit and the Zone eating style. Please enjoy and don't forget to like, subscribe and share this podcast with everyone in the world!

Renegade Dave is in the house! What an episode we have in store for you! Dave was generous enough to come hangout and give us insight to his background, what motivates him and working through injuries. We had a blast learning about where he came from and listening to his stories. He is the gym Pappy and we can't wait to have you guys listen to this episode. Spoiler alert: minimal talk about fitness. We got sidetracked by his incredibly interesting background. Like, subscribe, share!

This week we asked gym members to ask any and all questions and we got some great material to talk about! We decided to have four of our coaches sit down and tackle as many of these questions as we could and cover them as much as we could. This was a blast and we loved getting to talk about so much on these various topics. Thank you guys for the questions and never hesitate to reach out and ask us anything! We can always address it while we are interviewing someone! See you next week!

This week we get to interview Jen Bornheimer! She takes us through her background of playing softball, volleyball for seven years at a community college (possible bad math), finding her calling as a High School Health Teacher and how that has affected her outlook at health beyond nutrition and working out. We also get to here all the very positive things she says about CrossFit and the gym in particular. Thanks for listening and don't hesitate to let us know what questions you'd like us to answer or people you want to hear from!

Our first non-coach interview! Heidi 'Oma' Davis was gracious enough to join us and answer all of our questions. She is one of the few grandmothers in the gym and consistently crushes it! She talks about everything from being a teen mother, battling injuries and what she truly loves about CrossFit. She is loved by everyone and it was truly a pleasure to have her on as our first guest, which is only fitting because she was our first member! 

*There is explicit language in this episode. Be aware of sensitive ears listening in!

We get to dive into Coach Melissa's background and mindset regarding fitness and nutrition! Also, we get off topic roughly 51% of the podcast. Most importantly, we learned some insightful things and had a lot of fun during this and we are 'mama proud' of this episode! Let us know if you have questions, critiques or ideas for us as we move forward. Thank you to all of our listeners!

We get to sit down with Coach Kayla and get to know more about her background, favorite coaching styles and learn about her vast knowledge of 90's country music! Drinks and laughs all around. Enjoy!

In our second episode we get to know Coach Buddy a little bit more in depth, talk about a little bit more of the history of SXF and have some laughs at both of our expense. Let us know what you like, don't like and want to hear more of. Hope you guys enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it for you!
