Veterans Day is upon us — thank you to all those who have served, and to those who continue to serve. We are grateful for the sacrifices you have made! We will be doing "Chad" on Monday during all of our classes. This workout is 1,000 weighted box step-ups — we will offer modifications for all fitness levels. Please join us! This workout was written in honor of Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson, who died by suicide on Oct. 29, 2018, as a result of several traumatic brain injuries, blast-wave injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) stemming from many

Our November challenge begins Monday! Coach Kelly made a cool tracking board, which is now next to the scoreboard at the gym. Sign up and let's get to work! This challenge is a good one. :) Perform 50 push-ups a day, every weekday (Monday through Friday), throughout the month. This adds up to 1,000 push-ups in November! A few reminders ... Good rep of a Push-Up: The chest touches the ground and the arms lock out with each rep. If needed, you can modify to Knee Push Ups or Incline Push Ups. Both are great options and still count towards the challenge! You do

Sober October is coming to a close — for those who participated, let us know how it went. :) Did you take anything away from it, or was it a terrible idea? ;) Both answers are fair.

Onto November's challenge soon ... any guesses what it will be? We wanted to extend a warm welcome to the new members who are joining our gym after Bring

Hello, CFD! :) Let's get right into some details about our upcoming programming. This week, we're beginning a new gymnastics cycle with a focus on bar muscle ups! All skill levels will be accommodated. The first and last weeks are testing weeks, with 6 weeks of work in between. On Thursday, you'll see a baseline test of a 2:00 AMRAP for max reps of either bar muscle ups, kipping chest to bar pull-ups, kipping pull-ups or ring rows. We'll do the same test again at 8 weeks. In between, we'll get to work! Athletes should choose the most difficult level

October is here, and it's time to put in some work! On Monday, we'll be doing an "Open Type" AMRAP workout, where the challenge is to maintain a continuous effort throughout rounds and reps. Tuesday will feature another cardio-focused workout aimed at pushing the pace, recovering, and maintaining intensity. Wednesday will be the highlight of the week with two intense 3-round workouts. The first workout will involve light bar/high box jumps, while the second will include low box jumps and moderate to heavy barbell. Thursday's workout will consist of a tough 5-set gymnastic challenge, pushing athletes to deliver consistent performances.

This past week, we announced Bring a Friend Week. During the week of October 14-19, our members can bring a friend (or several friends!) to try out our classes for a week. It’s free! Maybe it’s a family member, a spouse, a neighbor, a friend, or an acquaintance who has shown curiosity about CrossFit. It could be someone you think would love our community or our

Happy Sunday, CFD! What a beautiful weekend. We hope you have been out enjoying the sunshine with your family and friends! We're heading into one-rep testing this week on the deadlift and back squat. Deadlift will be on Monday and back squat will be on Wednesday. Last week was deload week — please do not feel pressured to jump into a one-rep max if your body isn't feeling it. This can be approached as a heavy single instead of a one-rep max. The difference between a heavy single and a one-rep max is that a heavy single is a successful
