What happens when grief, a global shutdown, and a business bleeding money all hit at the same time — and you have to decide whether to walk away from your dream or fight for it while you're still broken?

McKensey Ciaramella is the co-owner of Tekton Fitness in Murray, Utah — a CrossFit affiliate that's been building community for over 14 years. What started as a family hobby in 2008 when her dad and brother walked into an underground CrossFit gym has evolved into one of the longest-running affiliates in the Salt Lake area. McKensey is an expert CrossFit and nutrition coach, a psychology degree holder turned full-time people-builder, a mother of two, and the kind of leader who makes you feel seen the moment you walk through her door.

Why CrossFit without nutrition is incomplete — and the one shift that transforms everything people notice in the gym

How McKenzie got her Level 1 certification at 10 months pregnant, then signed a gym lease from a hospital bed days after giving birth

The gut-wrenching moment she got the call that her mom had committed suicide — and how grief physically shut her body down for months

Why she refused to quit the gym during her lowest season, choosing instead to let the work heal her rather than making permanent decisions from a broken place

The raw truth about entrepreneurship: not getting paid for a year, leaning on her husband's support, and choosing to give it everything even if failure was on the table

How she creates a space so authentic that people literally cannot hide who they are — and why that's the magic of her community

The parallel between CrossFit and life: it never gets easier, you just get stronger — and why your first pull-up and your rock bottom are both part of the same journey

If you've ever wrestled with whether to keep going when everything in your life is telling you to stop — or wondered what it looks like to rebuild yourself and your business at the same time — this conversation will hit home.

What happens when the business you built to secure your family's future crumbles — and you have to decide whether to cling to safety or trust God with everything?

Adrian Conway is a 3x CrossFit Games athlete, former Division I running back, founder of Train to Rise Up, CrossFit seminar staff coach, gym owner, and podcast host of True Fitness. With over 20 years in the fitness industry, Adrian has built a career training everyone from beginners to elite competitors — but his journey to get here required a hard pivot, a financial collapse, and a radical return to what God created him to do.

• Why CrossFit isn't just about your body — it's about who you become between your ears and in your heart
• The shocking parallel between CrossFit methodology and biblical discipleship: accountability, standards, community, and growth through discomfort
• How Adrian walked away from a six-figure business valuation and had to restart from scratch — with a family, a mortgage, and no safety net
• Why the gifts God gives you should ooze from your skin — and if they don't, you might be chasing the wrong thing
• The difference between loving your craft and loving entrepreneurship — and why young business owners need to know which one they actually want
• How God shaped Adrian through football, injury, baptism, and business failure to prepare him for the calling he's walking in now

If you've ever felt the pressure to choose between stability and calling, or wondered what it looks like to trust God when everything falls apart — this conversation will meet you right where you are.
