Fit-Rilla- A Podcast Dedicated to Helping Gym Owne

Juliet and Kelly Starrett have built one of the most well known CrossFit Affiliates in the world- San Francisco CrossFit.  10 years ago the competitive exercise scene was a little different, but that does not mean things came easy.  San Francisco CrossFit did not become what it is today from dumb luck and some good publicity.  It all started with hard work, organic growth and an obsession with human movement.  What started as a hobby in the backyard grew to an empty parking lot and eventually into a beautiful 6,000 square foot facility.  They did not open with an epic coaching staff of Carl Paoli and Diane Fu.  They cultivated an atmosphere to attract these high level coaches then empowered them to create their own business within the walls of SFCF. Juliet has been involved in CrossFit for over 10 years.  She was around before Reebok, way before Rogue and as she says in the interview before G-mail!  If there is anyone you should be soaking up advice from it is her! We also talk about Standupkids.org an amazing non-profit that Juliet and Kelly have founded.  If you have not heard of this please listen carefully they are doing some amazing things for the youth of our country!
