Jake is an exercise professional, and a personal trainer based in Canberra, Austrailia. He works with people to achieve their fitness goals. 

I met Brandyn at a CrossFit Competition in Canberra in February 2022. 

He qualified from Oceania to the 2023 CrossFit Games in the Age category of 16-17. We spoke about his journey to the CrossFit Games and the changes he had to make to his everyday routine to achieve this amazing milestone at such young age. 

A very special episode as I interview the legend Moses Petelo. I met Moses 2 and a half years ago when I first moved to Brisbane. I was introduced to CrossFit through Moses.

Moses Petelo is the head coach and owns CrossFit EXF in Brisbane. He finally made his dream to compete at the CrossFit Games come true along with his team mates Henry Carlile, Christee Hollard and Briony Challis. They were ranked #1 in the quarterfinals and #3 in the semi-finals in Oceania and #15 in the world at the 2022 CrossFit games.

Some of the things that we talked about in this episode:

  • How the CrossFit EXF team came together
  • Training routine
  • Training and competing mentality
  • Diet in the lead up to the Games
  • How they bounced back in the last workout at the Semis to punch a ticket to the games
  • Training at CrossFit Mayhem
  • Family support
