Scaled.Athlete

One can only hope and dream… but who knows, Dave Castro and CrossFit HQ might send a last minute invite out! 🤞🫶

Second time competing at METCON RUSH , and it reminded me why I love this CrossFit community.

Saw old friends, made new connections, and got to share the competition floor with athletes from every division.

At the end of the day, we all have something we’re chasing… a new PR, a new skill, a stronger mindset, or growth outside the gym. The goal may be different, but the process is the same: keep showing up.

Show up for yourself. Show up for your people. Show up for the things that matter most.

Whether you’re RX, Scaled, Masters, or stepping onto the competition floor for the very first time… every division counts, every level counts, and every effort matters.

The scoreboard changes every weekend. The person you become by showing up…that lasts.

You’ve been great, Metcon Rush. See you next year. 🤘🐰

After UFC 329, we’re all learning the same lesson…
Don’t take shortcuts. Respect the standards. Respect the movement. Protect the body that gets you through the work. Stay in the game. 🐰

One of my goals is to promote fitness in my community, especially within the Filipino community.

Filipinos have so much potential in CrossFit. Mobility, strength, speed, gymnastics… and have you seen our calves? Game over.

But fitness isn’t just for athletes or competitors. It’s for everyone.

Whether you’re getting back into it or starting for the first time, it’s never too late.

Start slow. Start scaled. Start now.

Because every athlete starts somewhere.

Always remember to have fun and not take everything too seriously.

Yes, chase your goals. Work hard. Stay disciplined. Push yourself to be better than you were yesterday.

But don’t forget to enjoy it too.

Talk to your gym bros. Get to know your coaches. Connect with the people you meet through social media. Behind every PR, every workout post, and every highlight reel is a real person… someone figuring things out, making mistakes, having bad days, and doing their best just like you.

Laugh at the missed lifts. Laugh at the failed attempts. Laugh at the moments that didn’t go according to plan.

Because years from now, you probably won’t remember every score, every workout, or every PR. You’ll remember the friendships, the conversations after class, the road trips, the inside jokes, and the people who made the journey worth it.

The best parts of fitness aren’t always found on the leaderboard.

Sometimes they’re found in the bloopers, the setbacks, the laughs, and the memories you create along the way.

Be human. Be yourself. Have fun.

Because at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. 😊
