CrossFit Hershey

Ok, we are kicking off this week with a Sunday shout out to one of our longest standing members, the OG of the OGs... Mr. David Gorrell!!!!

Dave showed up to join the fitness fun a few months after CFH opened it's doors in 2010. Let's get a slow clap for Dave.

Dave has a heart of steel. Literally & figuratively. He has had two heart attacks (due to genetic issues), one in 2017 & another in 2021. Both knocked him down but as his cardiologist stated very clearly, "if it weren't for CrossFit, he wouldn't be here." Let's get that clap going a little faster for Dave.

This past holiday season, Dave proposed to his girlfriend, Lisa, at an event at CrossFit Hershey. Fun fact: Dave & Lisa met at Crossfit Hershey years ago. She said yes, by the way. Now they get to live happily ever after in their beautiful new home.

Dave, you show up and work hard on the daily given all you have been through and we adore you for it. You are always willing to lend a hand along with several witty comments (which we also adore). We look forward to keeping you healthy and moving for another 12 years and beyond.

📢 Ok, now let's freakin hear it for Dave! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Question of the day: How many years have you participated in the CrossFit Open?! Post below! Most tenured athlete gets a shout out! //💙🖤🤙🏻 #crossfithershey #community #theOPEN

What is "the Open"? The CrossFit Open is a three week worldwide competition that allows any and every athlete in the world to compete in specific workouts designed for the everyday CrossFitter that can still challenge even the most elite athletes. The Open is the baseline qualifier for the CrossFit Games, however, for those of us not going to regionals or the games... the open is a test to see how far we have come and where our strengths and weaknesses lie. The Open season is such a fun and exciting time to be a CrossFitter. Consider signing up! You won't be disappointed!

I don't know who needs to hear this BUT we gain approximately 2 minutes and 8 seconds of daylight each day during the month of January. By the time we get to mid-February, our days will have increased by an hour of sunlight! In other words, WARMER DAYS ARE COMING. Until then, stop complaining and get moving! //😬💙🖤💪🏻 #crossfithershey #community #fitness #health #wellness #springiscoming #justmove

Sunday Shout out....
Justin Douglas! One of our leading coaches, our early bird, our music guy, our "how the crap do I pace this" guy, our open prep guy, our Jack of many trades guy... WROTE A FREAKIN BOOK! He wrote a book while coaching just about half of our classes, running a ministry, being a husband and dad of 3 (actually 4 now since they've added a four legged dood 🐾 ), and while giving us and everyone his time and perspective on whatever we needed. This guy deserves a BIG shout out. Congratulations to you, Justin! We are proud of you and we are thrilled to call you our coach & our friend.

Interested in learning more about his book??!?
Here is a quick description...
With all of life’s distractions, it can be easy to take for granted the blessings that surround you. Written for Christian men, this daily devotional helps you nurture a deeper sense of gratitude through Scripture and prayer and reminds you to give thanks for the miracle of each day. This once-a-day reading will teach you to begin each day centering yourself around gratitude through 70 devotions throughout the book. This book will both inspire and challenge you while offering you the opportunity to reevaluate and reflect.
.

Gratitude Devotional will be released February 15 but you can preorder now (and check out Justin's work) through the link provided below.

Three weeks until our first FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! Who's excited!?!?!

At CrossFit Hershey, we put together a pretty rad In-House Open Competition. We split our participating members into 4 teams and create a point system based on showing up and doing the workout, participating in the theme each week, PRs and effort... we throw in some surprise points here and there as well. Winner gets bragging rights and a high five 🖐🏻 We love the Open at CFH. What does your gym do!?!?! //💙🖤💪🏻 #crossfithershey #community #fitness #health #wellness #OPENSEASON

YOU GUYS... IT'S NATIONAL GOLDEN RETRIEVER DAY!!! Shout out to this pretty girl for all the snugs and good vibes after each and every gnarly WOD. Keep up the good lovin', Marley! //💙🖤💪🏻 #staygolden #gymdoggo #crossfithershey #love #lift #dogs

Three reasons to do the CrossFit Open... ⁠
1. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Let's face it- comfort zones are cozy and warm but nothing ever grows or evolves there. ⁠
2. You will do things you think you can't. Some of us will hit PRs. Some of us will conquer a movement for the first time. Some of us will simply show up and participate in a "competition" for the first time (and maybe the only time). Whatever happens, I promise you will surprise yourself in ways that will make you incredibly proud. ⁠
3. You will be doing the workouts in class anyway on Friday... why not sign up and submit a score to look back on next year? Growth is a mindset.⁠

The 2022 NOBULL CrossFit Games season kicks off with what we call the CrossFit Open. The Open is a three-week international competition where anyone and everyone, regardless of fitness level or ability, can compete in the largest fitness competition in the world. All of the workouts are completed at your home box. There are divisions (modifications) for everyone who participates!
