Welcome to the JST Podcast!
For years now we've been helping people, more specifically CrossFitters to get the most out of themselves as athletes and as people. Helping them to become the best they can.
It's time to spread the word and help as many of you as we can from the lessons we've learnt as high level athletes and running a business. But also from the people we talk to.
This podcast is simple, every week we aim to share insights with you from the conversations we have, with those who have different backgrounds, experiences and learnings.
Curiosity and a thirst to help others drive this podcast.

In this week’s episode, we chat with CrossFit coach Jamie Harrop. He works at CrossFit Shapesmiths in Clapham Junction and is an individual coach for JST Compete as well. We go through Jamie’s story, starting from when he played Rugby Union. His childhood wishes came true, playing for his favourite club Leicester Tigers, then in his mid 20’s was forced to stop playing because of regular and worsening concussions.
With the abrupt end to his Rugby career, he lost his purpose and hit some pretty challenging times. Before stumbling upon CrossFit and ultimately finding the path he’s on today. Having a curiosity to find out about people and what works best for them is what he loves, combined with the non-negotiable hard work he asks of those he works with is what is leading him on his way to becoming the best person he can be.
