When Dylan Johanson first walked into Breathe CrossFit, it was during The CrossFit Open. Chaos, energy, and community greeted him at the door, and he hasn’t looked back since. In Episode 10 of the Breathe CrossFit Podcast, Dylan shares how CrossFit has transformed his fitness, mindset, and life outside the gym.
From Planet Fitness to CrossFit
Dylan started at a commercial gym but found it hard to stay motivated without accountability or structure. CrossFit offered something different: a sense of belonging, a program to follow, and challenges that pushed him every day. “It’s not just about showing up; it’s about being part of something bigger,” Dylan says.
Achieving Big Results
In the past 10 months, Dylan has lost over 20 pounds of fat and completely changed his body composition. His secret? Consistency, portion control, and the supportive community at Breathe. “It’s not about perfection,” Dylan explains, “but making small, sustainable changes that add up over time.”
Advice for Beginners
Dylan encourages anyone considering CrossFit to take the first step. “Don’t let the cost or fear hold you back. It’s an investment in yourself, and the community here will support you every step of the way.”
