Happy Sunday, CFD! Who's excited for some 60-degree weather on Monday? :) We're in the home stretch, warmer days are coming! Amazing work this week on 25.2! We saw a lot of grit and determination on a workout that felt a bit harder than expected. We also saw progress on doubles, pull-ups and bar muscle-ups. Let this be a great reminder to you all — you ARE capable of more than you think! If you've been one to shy away from doubles in workouts but you pushed through them in the Open WOD, it's time to start doing them in

25.1 is in the books! What a fun workout. (In a not-so-fun kind of way lol.) Thank you for bringing the energy, CFD! Take a little time to reflect on how the workout went for you. What are you proud of, and what could you possibly improve on? These Open workouts should be just like every other workout you do at CFD — clean reps, moving with intensity, holding to the standards, accepting no reps (feedback) from your coach, being honest with yourself, and growing together. Your score on any workout should be exactly the same whether you're doing the

We're less than a week out from the start of the CrossFit Open! :) You all are ready, I can tell! This is the one time every year we compete. The rest of the year, we are focusing on our training. The Open workouts are a great way to check in with yourself and take accountability for how you're moving. Are you performing your reps to standard? Are your squats to full depth? Maybe you feel they are, but you're not quite there. That's ok! We're all here to progress and move forward in our fitness. Maybe it's time to

We hope you all had a great Valentine's Day weekend with those you love! It's important to take some time to rest, reset and spend time with your family. If we're not off to sporting events on Saturday mornings, I'm almost always sleeping in and spending some downtime with my family. It's amazing how good you feel after a couple extra hours of sleep. Pick a day or two every week and do this for yourself! Prioritizing your health is about far more than working out. Have you registered for the CrossFit Open yet? I was watching a video CrossFit

Those warmer temps and sunshine this past week were a great break from the Wisconsin winter norm! Be sure to take advantage of these days and head outside for some Vitamin D and a mood boost. Winters can be long and hard around here! Time outside, and of course time spent at CFD, will get you through this season. :) Exercise is one of the best ways to fight seasonal blues. How did the Mayhem January Challenge go? Did you work on or accomplish any goals you set for yourself? How about intentional family time, or time spent with your

We're halfway through January and we all made it past the official "Quitters Day" ;) ... how are your resolutions and goals coming along? How good does it feel to know you're sticking to a goal you truly want for yourself? If you ever feel like giving up, remember ... succeeding feels SO much better. January also means lots of illnesses are circulating our community! A friendly reminder to wipe down + sanitize your equipment after each use, and wash your hands to help stop the spread of germs.

What a great week, CFD! Classes are high on energy lately as we all work our way back into our routines after the holidays. January can be a tough month in Wisconsin — come join your CFD community and squash those seasonal blues. Stick to your routines both inside the gym and at home — consistency breeds results! We're seeing strict work, pause bench press and back squats, and dead-stop training in our programming lately — remember one of the key phrases in the definition of CrossFit is "constantly varied." CrossFit workouts are always changing, with a variety of exercises,

Happy New Year, CFD! At the start of every year, Coach Chris likes to write up a Year in Review. Some of you may remember this from years past. :) Chris wrote the Year in Review again for 2024, and I will paste it below! Enjoy ... *** Well, we finally made it! The first full week of 2025 is upon us. We hope you all had a great time off and were able to relax and recharge a bit with family and friends. As we settle back into the groove, let’s make sure to take some time to look back. We
