Hybrid Fitness Media Lexi Johnson Scales. ErgShoot (And Scores!) Josh Van Zeeland 2.0
Lexi Johnson built her platform long before she ever stepped onto a start line. What started as at-home workouts during COVID turned into a massive online and in-person community. Now she's taking that base into competition, with clear strengths and a lot of room to grow.
Then there's ErgShoot, a new format trying to carve out its own lane. It blends ergs with precision shooting, backed by real tech and early traction inside CrossFit events. The goal isn't just to be part of the space, but to build something entirely new.
Josh van Zeeland is in the middle of a reset. After injury, the focus has shifted from rushing back to building something more durable. He talks through the rehab process, what he's learned from racing at a high level, and how quickly things changed once he broke into the elite side of HYROX.
