Lifestyle Millionaire
What defines life successes?Take a moment to ask yourself this question and challenge your perspective. In a previous article, I reflected on CrossFit’s “What is Fitness” and how it reshaped my view of fitness. More importantly, it broadened my perspective on life. For many, financial success is the goal—but this is just one piece of the puzzle. What good is financial freedom if you lack health, functionality, or meaningful relationships to enjoy it? In CrossFit, we often say, “You are as strong as your weakest link.” We aim to develop balance across the 10 General Physical Skills: A deficiency in any of these areas is where the greatest improvement can be made. This principle applies beyond fitness to all aspects of life. Consider these simplified pillars of life—no single one is more important than the others: 1. Physical Health 2. Mental & Emotional Health 3. Relationship & Social Connection 4. Financial Stability & Freedom 5. Purpose & Self-Improvement 6. Quality Nutrition 7. Balance & Leisure How These Pillars Interact A truly quality life isn’t just about excelling in one area but finding harmony across all pillars. Strengthening one often positively influences others—for instance, improving physical health can enhance mental clarity and emotional resilience, while financial freedom can allow more time for relationships and leisure. Ultimately, the goal is to create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. In my opinion, those who find balance across all these areas are living truly rich, fulfilling lives. They are the ones who achieve the status of a Lifestyle Millionaire. Time HorizonSuccess isn’t just about the present—it’s about building a foundation for the future.Ask yourself:Where do I see myself at 40, 60, 90, or even 100 years old?Are my current actions aligned with that vision? Your future will reflect where you choose to invest your energy today. Take ActionIdentify the area of your life where you’re currently weakest and start there. Small, consistent steps in the right direction will empower you to take control and responsibility for your own life. Nothing happens by accident—every outcome is a result of your choices. By making the hard decisions now, you can earn the rewards later. Holistic success is a journey, not a destination. Strive for balance, aim for growth, and build the life you deserve. We all have the potential to become Lifestyle Millionaires—the question is, are we willing to put in the work to make it happen? – Written by Marie.

Athlete Spotlight- Grant Williams
The Man behind the camera- This edition of Athlete Spotlight we meet Grant Williams- the personality behind the camera. He has become our official photographer for Coastal CrossFit and love or hate it he has captured the best and worst sides of us all with many of our worst moments being highlighted through the Faces of the Open. Grant is a long term member at Coastal but this year his commitment to consistency and technique improvement has seen Grant come along in leaps in bounds in all areas of fitness in this past year. It has been great witnessing his achievements and we look forward to sharing in your successes. We hope you enjoy getting to know Grant…. Can you give us a bit of background about yourself, where you grew up, profession, previous training, hobbies, etc? I’m a born and bred Sunshine Coaster, growing up around Bli Bli before moving towards the beach as soon as I could get my own place. I’ve also lived in Cambridge, UK whilst working as a paramedic over there many years ago. I’ve been a paramedic in Queensland for over 22 years and never really did much besides that apart from a couple of retail jobs which convinced me to get into something where helping people was your primary aim of going to work each day. Just making someone else rich wasn’t sufficient motivation to get me out of bed each day and being a paramedic is still the best career I could have taken on. There’s no better way to spend your days than helping those who really need help. Along the way I’ve been lucky enough to take on a number of roles within the ambulance service including Critical Care Paramedic, Flight Paramedic, Educator and currently Officer-in-Charge. I’m also part owner of a company that retrieves sick people from all over the world back to Australia for travel insurance companies. As if my calendar wasn’t full enough I’m also half way through a Masters in Business Administration at USC. I’m a late starter as far as fitness is concerned. I tried various gyms over the years but I never really had a plan or knew enough to make the most of it. Every time I would stop going after the initial few weeks. My hobbies include photography (I only started that after I started CrossFit) and I’m pretty big on travel. We go overseas as often as possible, usually to Europe because there’s so much to see. Can you tell us how you heard about CrossFit and what made you start and has kept you with us at Coastal CrossFit? Good friends of ours Rob and Kimberly introduced us to Coastal Crossfit after a conversation at a friend’s house one day. Danielle and I decided to try it and after getting the details from Kimberly we got onto Chris and Marie and came in to try it out. I remember meeting some people in those first few sessions who are good friends of ours today. I had zero interest in weightlifting when I started but now I love it. There are a few things that are different about CrossFit that have kept my interest. Firstly you get to know the people you train with and through shared experiences such as challenging WODs you develop a close bond. Secondly the personal attention from Chris and Marie with technique development, continual encouragement and sharing in my small wins. Thirdly I don’t need to think about what I’m going to do each day at the gym – that’s all sorted before I get there. I just need to show up and give it my best every time. Sharing in the achievements of everyone is pretty important no matter how big or small. First pull-up? – let’s celebrate that because most people are at home on the couch. Linked two double-unders? – that’s awesome because most people in society are too scared to try. The support of fellow athlete’s really sets CrossFit apart from most other gyms. Although you have CrossFitted with us since Dec 2014, it wasn’t until this year that you really found your groove for consistency- was there anything that spurred this change and what have been the effects? As much as I understood that consistency was important to make any real gains in my fitness, I struggled to prioritise getting to the gym due to work commitments and no real desire to be competitive. My reason for fitness is not about beating the next guy, it’s always been just about being active and putting in the best effort I could on the day. The real change for me came at the start of 2018 when I just made the decision to prioritise my fitness over my employer’s wants, knowing that the Open was approaching and there were a few things I wanted to be able to do. During the 2018 Open I surprised myself with my first kipping pull-ups, first toes-to-bar and Rx performances in 4 out of 5 weeks. That finally convinced me that I was able to do the things that I’d been scaling for so long. I also made a commitment to myself that if I was on the Coast and the gym was open then I would be there at one of the sessions that day. Just making that decision meant that I missed only a handful of days in the first six months of 2018. There’ll always be times due to illness, injury or family commitments where we find it hard to get along but it’s definitely easier to keep coming to the box if you just keep coming to the box every day. Improvements I saw included the T2B and kipping pull-ups, double-unders and PBs on most lifts. I remember early this year on a run and box jump WOD where Chris G yelled at a group of us, “If you lot stopped p*ssing around on the run you’d get a better time!” – that motivated me to push harder from that point forward. I often reflect on that day to push that little bit harder when the going gets tough. You are known for your photography skills within the box and somehow captured the emotion and atmosphere of what is going on (Open WODs, Hursty and much more). There…
