In the latest CrossFit Bath Podcast, we explore the relationship between the CrossFit Games and the CrossFit Affiliate: where they differ, where they overlap, and what connects elite competition to the everyday training experience in a local affiliate.From the spectacle of the Games to the community, coaching and shared methodology at affiliate level, we unpack how both sides reflect the wider CrossFit world and why each matters.

In this episode, Alex and Joey discuss the secret reasons behind why we warm up in CrossFit classes.It is not just about getting sweaty or ticking a box before the workout starts. A good warm-up helps prepare your body, practise the movements you are about to see, build confidence with scaling options, and give coaches a chance to spot how everyone is moving before the workout begins.They also talk about why the warm-up is one of the most valuable parts of the class, especially for newer members, and how it can make the difference between just surviving a workout and getting the most out of it.

Alex and Joey discuss one of the most important skills in training: auto-regulation.How do you know when to push harder, when to scale back, and how can you make sure every session moves you closer to your goals? This episode covers practical strategies to help you get more from your training, whatever life throws at you.
