CrossFit was founded in 2000, and has become one of the most popular fitness programs with over 5 million members across almost 15,000 gyms worldwide. And because it’s so popular, most people have at least heard of CrossFit. But unless you’re one of those 5 million members, you might not know what it’s really like to start CrossFit. So in this episode I got to sit down with Jacob Schmidt to discuss exactly that.

Jacob Schmidt is a personal trainer and CrossFit coach at CrossFit Omnia in Denver Colorado. In addition to all the time he spends helping others with fitness, Jacob is also a professional CrossFit athlete, with experience representing his gym’s team at elite level CrossFit competitions including Wodapalooza and The CrossFit Games.

We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, including his own introduction to CrossFit, what to look for in a gym if you’re considering giving CrossFit a shot, the differences between committing to the sport of CrossFit vs. simply using the CrossFit methodology to improve your overall health, and more!
