“It’s kind of like we’re all in on the joke, but we still can’t wait for the fucking punch line. That’s what makes CrossFit different.”

James Hobart has been part of CrossFit since the early days. He’s competed at the Games, demoed for CrossFit’s movement videos, worked on Seminar Staff, and spent nearly two decades watching the culture evolve. In this episode, he sits down with Denise Thomas to talk candidly about the state of CrossFit — and whether it’s lost its soul.

From what it felt like to walk away from competition, to the mindset shift required to keep training into middle age, James opens up about what keeps him coming back to the gym and why he still believes in the methodology. They discuss the difference between nostalgia and stagnation, why CrossFit’s messiness is part of the magic, and what it really means to “teach yourself out of a job.”

The first rule of CrossFit is to ALWAYS talk about CrossFit. 💯🔥

The one and only James Hobart joins the show to share the momentum he has felt since the 2026 games.

CrossFitters are proud to wear the name. CrossFitters are proud to speak the name.

We are back to a time when we are all proud to share the truth of the methodology and the love of the sport. CF is us and we are shouting it from the top. 🔥 by @jameshobart

Chelsea

Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes perform:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 squats

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 30 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you’ve finished the workout before, this time add 1 rep to each exercise—i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute—and see if you can go the full 30 minutes.

There’s always a moment.

The one where you finally say the thing you’ve been feeling…out loud.

Not because you have it all figured out.

Not because you know what’s next.

But because you know this isn’t it.

For @crossfitgames team champion, @jameshobart it looked like calling his mom and saying it.

And sometimes…that’s where everything starts.
