In this episode, I speak with Rob Jenkinsco-owner and operator of CrossFit Vint Hill. Born and raised in Fauquier County, Rob alwayshad a goal of coming back to his hometown and impacting his community through fitness and wellness.He and Alana met while attending George Mason University where they both studied Exercise Science. Before wrapping up college athletics and studies at GMU,Alana and Rob started a private in-home personal training business in Northern Virginia. CrossFit found them through a mutual friend in 2011 and quickly became the primary methodology with their business and clients. They had always had the vision of opening a training facility that was non-traditional and geared toward weightlifting and conditioning. CrossFit was the perfect fit. They soon began transitioning to small grouptraining out of theirhome garage and in 2017 finally found their ideal space in Vint Hill, to begin the work of impacting Fauquier County and surrounding communities. Rob & Alana have been coaching fitness for over 14 years and alongside their knowledgeableand professional coaching staff at CrossFit Vint Hill have big plans for reaching the most people for fitness in both Fauquier and Prince William Counties. “CrossFit Vint Hill is more than high intensity workouts, pull up rigs, rapid moving barbells and functional training, it is a coach led fitness program where you can achieve your personal best daily, alongside an awesome community of peers with a family-vibe and positive attitudes.

How the Podcast can Help You

On The Rest & Recovery Podcast, you will learn from some of the foremost professionals and experts on the best ways to help you rest & recover. My hope is that you can bring your best self to life in your fitness pursuits, marriage, or as a parent to ensure your one life is lived well. The idea of the podcast came from a personal mission to help bring my best self to all things in my life.

My initial goal was to improve on my fitness pursuits as an endurance runner. However, as I began to examine the various components of my life, I realized some of the challenges started with some bad habits dating back to my 20’s. I would just keep going to work, college, and into late nights with friends with little sleep or consideration for the effects it was having on my body, mind, and spirit. It would always catch up with me and I would end up sick. This didn’t really stop over the years…the burn-out…it just occurred for different reasons.
Yes, I matured…a little… yet now I was married and a growing family with 3 little girls, a corporate job and still trying to pursue endurance sport’s goals. Up until a few years ago, I burned out in every way possible - physically and emotionally and mentally to the point I went into a season of ambiguity, indifference under performance devolving into depression. Since then, I have been on a journey to reclaim my life for myself and my family. This helped me learn about a variety of influencers that can help enable the proper level of rest and recovery to ensure I could show up with strength and stability.

My hope is my personal discovery story, along with the people from all walks of life discussing the various approaches, will lead you to the proper rest and recovery. So join me in the journey to learn how to live this one life to the fullest!
