S06E207 Building A Stronger Bison Community

The best gyms don’t just add classes; they build pathways. We brought all four Bison Fitness owners, David Syvertsen @davesy85, Adam Hawkinson @hawkabn, Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic and Mike DaSilva  together to share how our community evolved from a single CrossFit track into a fuller system—without losing the camaraderie and push that made it special. You’ll hear real stories, honest tradeoffs, and the programs that are helping members feel better, train smarter, and stay longer.We break down “Stretch,” our coached mobility class with instructor Kristen Fazio @kristenfazyoga that finally makes recovery consistent and useful. Then we dig into Power Nutrition, @_pwr_nutrition a coaching-led approach with Kelly Cavin @kellycavinnutrition and Kayla Andrews @_kayla.andrews that’s already helping 50+ members dial in weight loss, energy, protein, water, and sustainable habits. From there we compare Bison and Outlast @outlast_fit : same community, different stress. If you’re coming back from injury, managing family chaos, or just tired of chasing the whiteboard, Outlast provides smart tempo strength, machine intervals, and longer conditioning that leaves you feeling human the next day.For the performance-minded, we unpack Next Level @nextlevelprogram: individualized programming and Level 3 templates for engine, strength, and mixed-modal work with a clear path to HYROX training. It’s not “more for more’s sake.” We talk about the guardrails—sleep, protein, mobility—and why local coaching feedback beats anonymous online plans. Finally, we guess what’s next in the future: more recovery options, consistent kids training, expert seminars, and even mental skills support to tackle the mindset side of progress.If you’re curious about mobility for CrossFit, nutrition coaching, HYROX prep, functional strength, or longevity training, this one gives you a guided tour of what’s working—and how to plug in. Enjoy the ride, then tell us where you want help next.
