Ollie is back on the podcast. We talk about his role within CrossFit internationally and how that also benefits us in Bath. We also spoke about why he will always jump into a class if he can. And is CrossFit about to have a Renaissance?

Alec is back on the podcast. Kindly hosted in his house. on this episode we chat about the success of Synergy and some hints at what to expect in part 2. And then we had a long conversation about setting goals and what that really means. How we view ourselves in relation to other people and the effect our environment can have on that. Could a change in focus on a goal mean we end up further away? Any why is it so important to talk through our goals with others.

Ollie is back on the podcast to have a look back at last year. And more importantly a look ahead for CrossFit Bath.What can we do individually to support the CF Bath community. And what's this we hear about a members council?
