Five years after appearing on the very first episode of The Best of LKN Podcast, Mike Ratnofsky of CrossFit Cornelius returns to share how his business and community have evolved.  Since that podcast in 2020, C2 has transformed from a fitness studio focused on survival into a purpose-driven operation with clear systems, stronger leadership, and an even deeper connection to its members. Mike discusses stepping back from daily coaching to focus on strategy while longtime coach Robert Yates now leads as General Manager. The gym’s popular HybridFit program continues to thrive, offering a welcoming, 45-minute option alongside traditional CrossFit classes.  New initiatives include individualized nutrition coaching built around the advanced Evolt 360 body-composition scanner and a six-week challenge that pairs fitness, nutrition, and accountability in a sustainable way. Listeners also hear about Strength Lab, a new strength-based program for women navigating peri- and menopause, developed in partnership with Renew Health & Wellness in Cornelius. The program blends strength training, holistic wellness, and hormone support in a practical, empowering way. At its core, C2 remains focused on relationships over contracts, personal growth over perfection, and creating an environment where every member feels known.  Enjoy catching up with Mike in this episode!
