-Dan is the owner of King William District CrossFit. \-In this episode Pat & Adrian discuss all aspects of his experience as a CrossFit affiliate owner.
And, uh, you know, Dan, every time I hear you say something, there's, like, a little nugget in there that I wanna go back and dig into, so this is gonna be no different.
You, you just as a kind of a throwaway, you said in there, "Oh, yeah, it's not a bad thing if people come in, like, three days a week forever." And I'll say, uh, one of my good friends, Jesse Ward, shout out to Jesse at CrossFit Lynwood.
And, uh, he and I used to have conversations about this all the time, and we were like, "Hey, man, if you really wanna hang your hat as, like, a good coach and a good programmer, it's on the person that you don't get to see as often as you would like, but you can still push them forward in their progress." You know, I get somebody Monday, Wednesday, Friday, that's all I'm ever gonna get them for, and they continue to see progress-
progress-That's a really big feather in my cap because I don't have the optimal schedule that I would probably want for them.
So all that said, there is a question coming in this [laughs]- Yeah ... it's, uh, is how do you approach programming with the knowledge that like, hey, I do believe that three, maybe four days a week is enough for somebody.
Like, what kind of responsibility or choice does that put on you, the programmer, uh, when you're putting pen to paper? Like, uh, do you have any specific strategies for that? And I know I'm putting you on the spot a little bit there, but just curious.
No, I do.
Um, and, and right in those initial new member meetings, they will hear that exact thing from me.
That I think if you're doing it right, you can work out three days a week for the rest of your life and continue to get more fit.
You may be able to speed that up or do a little bit more.
I'm not saying you can't come four, five or six.
Sure.
Again, depends on your age.
You know, now at 52, I, uh, I'm a four-day-a-week kinda guy, sometimes five.
