Coach Day Ortega (and her daughter/sidekick Dejah) stop by the podcast to talk about her own "path to wellness," and her new program to help keep others on the right track, even when things on the fitness journey can get a little weird. Oh yeah, Wes is missing this episode. :(

19. I dunno, fit's weird over there

Sorry for taking an unexpected month off, but we're back! Lots of stuff is going on that the gym, as usual, and Justin, Paul and Wes discuss all of it, from the end of the Nutrition Challenge to a new fitness chain, F45. Also, our guests this month, Tim and Annie Dove are OG CrossFit Merge people, and have been with Nela since Paul bought the place four years ago. In a remarkably candid conversation, they talk about their past, their experiences at the old box, and what it was like to have a "giant corporation" take over your gym. (Especially when that Giant Corporation is literally Paul.) Don't miss this one, it's a good one!

*We did have minor technical problems, so please forgive the audio quality for parts of this episode.
