The Origin of CrossFit, Philosophy of Fitness & What A Large Life Means w/ James Fitzgerald
What does it mean to live a larger life?
In this episode, I sit down with James Fitzgerald—founder of OPEX, CrossFit Games champion, and one of the deepest thinkers in the fitness world—to talk about the evolution of CrossFit and how fitness can (and should) serve a bigger purpose in our lives.
We dive into:
✅ The early days and original vision of CrossFit
✅ Why James shifted away from the sport and toward individualized coaching
✅ The philosophy behind sustainable fitness and living with intention
✅ What it really means to pursue a “larger life” through movement
✅ Why fitness is a practice, not just a performance
Whether you're a coach, former athlete, or someone rethinking your relationship with training, this episode will challenge and inspire you.
