Spring Break is here! If you're relaxing somewhere on a beach, we're very happy for you. :) ;) If you're relaxing somewhere here in beautiful Slinger, it's the perfect week to get your fitness on at CFD! Let's talk a bit about the new cycles (strength and gymnastics) we're starting this week. We're very excited for these! From March 24th to May 26th, we'll be doing a strength cycle called, "All the Reps." During this 10-week cycle, we will be performing a 20-rep back squat progression, a max rep bench press progression, and an Olympic lifting complex every week. 20

We made it! We've reached the end of the 2025 CrossFit Open. What did you all think? :) I thought it was a good mix of cardio, barbell and gymnastics this year. I missed seeing people go for a one-rep lift! 25.3 was hard for many (those wall walks ...). A big part of the Open is the idea of being challenged. We know some of these movements are frustrating, both physically and mentally. Hold yourself to the standards and see how far you can push. It's hard because it's meant to be hard. We can do hard at CFD.

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 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

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
