What happens if you strip the 2025 CrossFit Games down to its rawest form? This podcast takes on the challenge of reprogramming the 2025 CrossFit Games—no machines allowed. No rowers, no bikes, no SkiErgs—just barbells, bodyweight, dumbbells, odd objects, and classic CrossFit tests of strength, stamina, and skill. This episode breaks down how removing machines changes athlete separation, event flow, and the overall test of fitness. We debate what's gained, what's lost, and whether a machine-free Games would better define the fittest on Earth.

Andrew Hiller recently posted a video on youtube from Mason Startup about the exponential rise of machines being programing during the CrossFit Games Season but even more disturbing the amount of machines in every day programming for the general public. Is he right? Have we fallen too far from traditional CrossFit methodology that we don't even recognize ourselves anymore?

It's that time of year where we reflect on all the things are grateful for in 2025. CrossFit has given us all so much and today we list our Top 4 things we are thankful for in 2025.

"The clean is a pure bit of functionality. The clean is simply pulling a load from the ground to the shoulders where frequently the object is being readied for lifting overhead." - Greg Glassman

CrossFit is more than just fitness — it's a community built on purpose, resilience, and respect. This podcast dives into the heart of that culture through the lens of Hero Workouts — the benchmark workouts created to honor fallen service members, first responders, and heroes who've given everything. Bill and Chase unpack the stories behind these workouts, explores why they matter so deeply to CrossFitters worldwide, and reflects on how they connect us through shared effort and sacrifice. It's about more than reps and times — it's about remembrance, gratitude, and the strength of community.
