Stress, Fear, and How They Can Be An Asset
By Coach Josh Workout Mar 02, 2020
Reframing Stress, and Reinterpreting Fear There are three types of fun. The first kind is like a birthday party where it’s really fun! The second kind is like zip-lining where it’s fun but also scary. And the third kind is just plain scary, but you TELL people it was fun. My point—and one[…]
What A Real Gym Looks Like
By Coach Josh Workout Feb 28, 2020
We opened CrossFit Vashon in 2016 with a tiny amount of space, no bathroom, and a few pieces of equipment. We had a limited budget, so we didn’t get the typical stuff. Opening a gym on a shoestring doesn’t seem like a good idea, but it was actually an advantage. We had to focus on[…]

Why Most Gyms Get Started
By Coach Josh Workout Jan 15, 2020

Brush Your Teeth, And Workout Every Day
By Coach Josh Workout Dec 10, 2019
I don’t brush my teeth because it’s fun, I do it because I know I have to. Every day. I won’t really notice if I miss a day, but I don’t want it to accumulate. Working out is the same. I do it every day in some capacity. It’s not always fun, sexy, or even[…]

Building The Plane While You Fly It
By Coach Josh Workout Dec 04, 2019
Hi All, When starting a business, the prevailing advice is: Just get started. Don’t wait for it to be perfect. Take action. And I think that makes a lot of sense in other areas too. When learning to speak a new language for example, you’re going to sound ridiculous for a while. The people who[…]
