Congratulations to Mari, Marcus and Coach Courtney, who competed this past weekend at B3 — Beasts, Beers and Barbells, held at Redemption Fitness in Waukesha. Coach Courtney held a podium spot, taking second place in women's Rx! It was amazing to see you three work hard and crush some goals out on the competition floor! Thank you to those of you who were able to either attend in person or cheer them on via Facebook Live. Your support means the world to them, and we're so proud of you three! How is the Weight Loss Challenge going for those of

Well "Death Row" was fun, right guys?? ;) Eek. Nice work getting to the gym and checking off another tough workout this past week. We will re-test again in April to see our improvement on this BEAST of a WOD. Lots of us have been snowed in this past week, working from home, watching our kids, shoveling 8 times a day ... but all of this has been made easier because we are CrossFitters! We're stronger physically and we can tackle hard things mentally. It's been amazing to see you face the rough weather and make it into the gym.

Happy 2024! It's been a great week at CFD — our classes have been filled with members who are ready to start the year off on a positive note. We love to see all of you giving yourselves that time every day — let's keep your momentum moving in the right direction. One good choice leads to another good choice, and before you know it, you'll be stacking days and then weeks of a healthier, more positive lifestyle and mindset. We started our Weight Loss/Nutrition Challenge this week with Coach Kelly — if you have any questions as you focus

Happy New Year! 2024 here we come. What will you set your mind to and accomplish this year? Picture yourself next January 1st — what would you like to be different? Take some time this week to reflect on 2023, and set a goal or two for 2024. Better yet, talk to a coach or a friend about those goals — saying it out loud will help hold you accountable. :) Thank you to all who came to our New Year's WOD on Saturday, it was great to see a full gym with so many smiling, familiar faces! What a

Merry Christmas, CFD! What a wonderful year. If you haven't already, please take a minute and watch our recap video on the CrossFit Develop Facebook and Instagram pages. We are so thankful for each and every one of you! You all make CFD a second home to so many. We can't wait to see what 2024 has in store. ;) Our holiday schedule is posted below. We will see you back in the gym bright and early on Tuesday, Dec. 26! The last couple weeks of December have been all about a fun “just train” mentality going into 2024, providing

What a week, CFD! We're so proud of all the work you've put in during this strength cycle. We saw countless PR's this past week — it's amazing to see so much progress. Hard work pays off! We'll be starting off this week with a classic NCFit benchmark workout, The Cali Bear. This will be my 9th time doing this workout — I always find this one to be an amazing mental challenge, in addition to physical. It's heavy. The first 10 reps will feel good, and doubt may creep into your mind during those middle 15-20 reps. You might

It's one rep max week! We hope you all are feeling rested, recovered and strong to retest our push jerk (Monday), back squat (Tuesday) and deadlift (Friday). If you're not quite feeling 100 percent, it's ok! Never push yourself beyond your personal limit. You can't force a one rep max, nor should you! This week may be your week or it may not. Either way, lets all get after some great workouts together! Many of you may have seen our second annual 6 Week Challenge announced on our social media pages. If you know someone who has always been curious

Happy December, CFD! We're into the final month of 2023. Take a moment or two to reflect on 2023: What did you do really well? What's something you could improve on heading into the new year? Maybe it's commitment to a schedule, or commitment to putting those you love first. It could be better nutrition, more sleep, less rest days or more rest days. Maybe it's simply greeting strangers with a smile. We love seeing you thrive inside the gym, but guess what we love even more? Seeing you thrive outside the gym. That way, we know that what we're

It's the one weekend every year where we all have absolutely no idea what day it is. :) I think Monday is approaching, so let's get to it! It was great to see all of you at our annual Thanksgiving Sampler Platter workout — thank you for grinding it out with us! We hope you were able to enjoy the rest of your day with family, friends, good food and lots of laughs. Remember, one day off of your typical eating schedule will not affect your progress! In fact, it might help. Our bodies need rest, recovery (physically and mentally),

Happy Thanksgiving! This week is all about spending time with your family and friends, enjoying some good food and showing gratitude for the day-to-day things we so easily take for granted. Tell someone what they mean to you this week. Ask a friend how they're doing, look them in the eyes and listen. The best part about belonging to CrossFit Develop is the community — we're all so lucky to have each other! This week's schedule will be "normal" except for Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, we'll be having a special Thanksgiving workout at 8 a.m. As always, friends and
