525 – How High-Intensity Training (HIT) Helps With Injuries Caused By CrossFit (with Salus Strength Founder Kyra Seiler)

What’s it like doing over a hundred client sessions a week, helping people get fit and fixing injuries caused by things like CrossFit?

Salus Strength Founder Kyra Seiler talks about how she fixed her many injuries using high-intensity training and how she’s helping many people do the same while getting in the best shape of their life.

We go into how she went from chronically injured CrossFit practitioner to successful HIT strength trainer doing over 100 sessions a week, including how she manages to get so many referrals as a “fun” personal trainer (in her own clients’ words!).

If you want to know what it’s like to come from the depths of CrossFit to the heights of HIT, check out Kyra’s story in this episode!
