episode 31: CrossFit Modern with Jason Jamison
I’ve been lifting weights since my early 20s. I’ve done everything from playing basketball to mixed martial arts. Recently, I found CrossFit. Running a gym as a whole is a difficult business to manage. Jason Jamison and his wife Tessa are co-owners of the CrossFit Modern gym in Long Beach, CA.
Jason played hockey when he was nine. He taught P90X classes for a while before experiencing a CrossFit workout. It was love at first sweat. He started teaching in a local park and opened his own gym in 2019.
He’s competed in 11 CrossFit open events. He’s reached the quarterfinals four times, the regionals twice, and just recently he competed in the Worldwide Rogue 1,000-pound challenge and finished 61st in the world.
In this episode of Upthinking Finance™, Jason shares some of the struggles and triumphs he’s faced as a gym owner and what he’s learned on his journey of self-discovery that’s made a positive impact in all areas of his life.
