Lifting More Than Weights Elijah Muhammad’s Story of Impact

In this inspiring episode of the Comeback Athlete podcast, we sit down with Elijah Muhammad—athlete, coach, father, and leader—to unpack his incredible journey.

Raised in a poor community in Columbus, Ohio, Elijah found his way to Tennessee Tech, where chance encounters with legends like Dan Bailey and Rich Froning led him into the world of CrossFit. From there, he climbed to the CrossFit Games, competing at the sport’s highest level.

We go deep into topics that matter:
✅ How faith shaped his path and decisions
✅ The role of family in his drive for success
✅ Why fitness is a tool for personal and community transformation
✅ His mission today—teaching youth CrossFit classes to impact the next generation
✅ The importance of being present and intentional as a father

If you’re an athlete, a parent, or someone chasing purpose in your own journey, you won’t want to miss this conversation.
