Episode 157: Running a Successful Event with TJ Belger
Overseeing or orchestrating an event within your business is never easy. Today we talk with TJ Belger about running the CrossFit masters event in Northern California. We get into how he got started with CrossFit and how to identify problems, find the right people, and execute to a plan. Additionally, we cover a whole host of dos and don’ts for running a successful event.
TJ is originally from New Jersey and got his start in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. After gaining the itch to expand his knowledge and find a more competitive environment, TJ found CrossFit and soon after founded TJ’s Gyms. TJ holds many certifications from CrossFit HQ but he finds that it is his independent learning that really is most applicable to helping his clients succeed. His passion is helping people set goals, stay accountable, and lead better lives!
