š 500 CLASSES!!! š
Zach was so excited about hitting this milestone that he couldnāt wait to get to Novus today and get class #500 in!
And judging by that smile, I think he was pretty happy about it. So was I. I couldnāt be happier for this young man!!
Zach is such a great example of the positive energy one person can bring to a gym community. Heās always kind. Always friendly. Always up for a conversation. He shows up to WOD, works hard, keeps improving, and somehow manages to bring so much positive energy with him every single time he walks through the doors.
500 classes at CrossFit Novus isnāt just a number. It represents consistency, commitment, hard work, intensity, a whole lot of time spent becoming better and growing the kinds of friendships built in the heat of doing group workouts together.
Zach, all of us at Novus are incredibly proud of you for reaching your 500 milestone!!!
Keep showing up. Keep working hard. And most importantly, keep bringing that positive energy, young man.

The Spirit of Novus for this month isā¦Brandon Splichen!! Brandon is no stranger to CrossFit and we are happy to have him with us this summer! He consistently shows up ready to work hard, bringing a quiet confidence, respect for those around him and a positive attitude to every class. He doesnāt
seek the spotlightāhe simply puts his head down, gives his best effort, and gets the work done. One of our favorite things about having Brandon back is watching him and his mom come to class together. Their friendly competition
is fun to watch, and itās clear they motivate each other to keep improving. Itās a great reminder that fitness isnāt just about the workoutsāitās about the connections and memories we build along the way. Brandon, thank you for
being a part of Novus this summer. Your consistency, humility and work ethic donāt go unnoticed, and weāre grateful to have you training with us! Please join us in congratulating him!

Hey hey hey, check out who hit 500 WODs earlier this week! š„³
We mistakenly printed two 500 shirts for Marv. After some quick mental math, he determined this automatically propels him to 1000 WODs, allowing him to re-pass his wife, Lori, for all time total check-ins š§š
500 or 1000 - impressive either way. Congratulations to you, Marv! ššš

Today we took on PATTON. šØš¦š
A workout that is much bigger than fitness.
Created in honour of RCMP Constable Shelby Patton, this WOD represents his dedication, sacrifice, and service. Every run, every rep, and every round was completed with purpose.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, pushed through, and honored his memory alongside our community. ā¤ļøš
āSome gave all.ā

The Spirit of Novus for May was⦠Jane Labash!! Jane is the definition of consistency in SWEAT! The quietest, hardest worker in the room⦠but donāt let that fool you. Sheās got opinions, a little shade when itās needed and sheās never afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. Around here sheās known as āMama Janeā - not just because sheās Meaganās mom, but because sheās the person people naturally gravitate toward. Whether itās life advice, a tough day, or just needing someone to talk things through, Jane is
that steady, grounded presence who somehow always has the right perspective (and probably learned it the hard way⦠life experience counts for something). Sheās also a walking reminder that strength does not fade with ageāit evolves. Watching Jane train is exactly why we believe fitness is for
life. We all hope weāre moving with that same energy, confidence, and consistency when we are in her shoes. And letās be honest⦠have you ever seen Jane in a bad mood? Didnāt think so. She brings the laughs, the smiles,
and the kind of energy that quietly lifts the whole room. Please join us in congratulating her!!!

Murph is a challenging hero WOD that pushes your mental and physical limits. But the least important part is your time or what version you do. What matters is showing up, doing something hard and supporting each other through it.
