We put stories behind the faces you see throwing down everyday at our gym. At JPCF we strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for every athlete to excel. These are just a few of the many stories our community has to tell about their fitness journey.
In this second part we discuss embracing your inner athlete, selfcare, race and representation in CrossFit, how to create spaces and approach the world knowing your identities deserve to be celebrated, and Michael's past life as Seth Rogan.
This podcast is a two-parter. The discussion with our guests was soooooo good, it felt ciminal not to keep it going. In to part 1 of the podcast, we will get into Michael and Aggies childhood (spoiler alert aggie went to a Meangirls esque high school--and was a mean girl), navigating an interracial and polyamorous relationship, and finding their paths to their careers.
In this episode Jasmine chats with pmr/open gymer James about his introverted puppy, the trials and tribulations of social work, and how he approaches CrossFit for longevity.
In this episode Jasmine sits down with Head Coach Tim Wells to talk a little about his life, how he grew up, how he found CrossFit, and how he manages to create fantastic new wods every single day, nearly 365 days a year! You'll learn a little about his past as a sculptor and cake decorator and get some cyuuuuuute gossip about how he proposed to his wife!
In this episode Jasmine sits down with Tammy and Marc, formally known by their couple name as Tammarc.

This episode has a little bit of everything for everyone! I hope you enjoy!
