Скачать или смотреть 12 Years of CrossFit Consistency: What Actually Works (feat. Rio T.)"

What does 12 years of consistent CrossFit training actually look like? Rio breaks down the mindset, habits, and strategies that keep him showing up — even with a currently separated shoulder. 💪

In this episode of Five Questions on Fitness, we sit down with Rio — lifelong athlete, CrossFit coach, and group class devotee — to unpack what real long-term consistency looks like. Rio went from three sedentary years selling cars to spotting kipping pull-ups on a Brooklyn street and never looking back. He breaks down exactly how he went from "guy who never touched a barbell" to PRing his clean over a decade later.

We dig into the psychology behind making fitness a part of your identity rather than just a habit — and why that shift changes everything. Rio shares the surprisingly simple tricks he uses to stay consistent: cost-per-class math, tracking notebooks, building a gym community, and the night-before prep routine that makes showing up feel almost automatic.

We also talk about training through injury, the difference between being a member vs. a coach, and why showing up at 60% will always beat staying home. If you've ever fallen off a fitness routine or struggled to stay consistent long-term, this one's for you.
