Running season is winding down, which means rowing season is here! 🚣

We’re hosting two rowing clinics with longtime rowing coach Steve Rupp:

-Thursday, September 24 at 6:30 PM -Saturday, October 24 at 10:30 AM

We’ll break down rowing technique, movement patterns, and how to move more efficiently on the erg! The goal is to get more out of every pull without simply working harder.

These clinics will work alongside Coach ✰S K Y L A R✰ ‘s Wednesday rowing technique progression as we prepare to spend more time on the erg this fall (and for all the meters coming your way during Rowvember).

Whether rowing feels awkward, inefficient, or just way harder than it should, these clinics are for you.

Spots are very limited—sign up through the NCA app under “events” or through the link in our bio!

Officially (re)introducing two incredible women of the NCA crew who are helping us bring “The NCA Baseline” to life! 👏

The Baseline is our six-week habit project that will run from 9/21-11/1! It is focused on nutrition, fueling, recovery, and understanding how your everyday choices actually make you feel. No dieting, macro counting, or chasing perfection, just practical habits you can carry into real life.

Dr. Letícia Andrade is a former clinical dietitian who recently earned her PhD in Community Health and Health Behavior from UB. Her work focuses on eating behaviors, disordered eating, and the many factors that shape how and why we eat. She’ll bring evidence-based education and guidance throughout the full six weeks.

Nicole (Nicole Visano) is a Certified Health Coach and creator of the Snacks Prep Method—a flexible, realistic approach to meal prep for busy weeks. She’ll be sharing recipes, snack-forward prep ideas, and practical ways to make everyday eating easier and more enjoyable.

Sign up right in the NCA app or through the link in bio! The kickoff meeting is tomorrow at 10:45 AM, but you can still sign up through Monday!

Let’s build a better baseline 🔥

Committed Club: Summer 2026 😎

Yes, we owe you several of these! The Committed Club monthly announcement, notification + full list right is all now in the NCA the app… which has made us a little too good at forgetting to celebrate on social media.

So here we go: three months of our incredibly consistent athletes!

And YES…your stickers will be in, ready for pick up very soon. We know you’ve been waiting 🤘

Our new cycle is officially live, but before we move on, we have to brag about our GUY Cory Davis 🚀

He pulled a lifetime (and gym) PR of 517 lbs on Friday, and if that doesn’t set the tone for the next eight weeks, we don’t know what does 😤

The new cycle email just dropped! Give it a read and let’s get after it.

LFG, NCA crew!

NCA takes on HYROX DC 🏁

A huge weekend for three of our Fitness Racing crew: Josie took on the full HYROX Singles race, while Mel + Maddie made it a family affair and raced Doubles together 👯‍♀️🎀✨

All three have been putting in the WORK in our Fitness Racing specialty program, and getting to see that training show up on the competition floor is pretty damn cool.

“The NCA Baseline: A 6 Week Habit Challenge” - we made the lifestyle challenge that we actually wanted to run 🫡

The Baseline is six weeks of paying attention to how we eat, fuel, hydrate, and recover. No weighing and measuring and no labeling food as “good or bad”.

We’re fueling our bodies, building great habits, and learning about what makes us feel good when training hard.

You’ll track the same six foundations each week, and have 6 weeks of support in putting everything into practice. Coach Becca will lead the challenge with the support of two of our very own:
 -Dr. Leticia Andrade (Letícia Andrade), an NCA member and dietitian, is bringing the evidence-based “why.”
-Nicole V. Of Nicole Visano is bringing the practical “how” through recipes & meal-prep ideas.

No macros. No banned foods. No leaderboard. No perfect weeks required.

Two options to sign up: 1) The Baseline 6-Week Challenge: $109 2) The Baseline AND 90 day of creatine and magnesium from Thorne : $159

🗓️ Kickoff Meeting: Saturday, September 19 after classes (not mandatory) 🗓️ Challenge: September 21–November 1

Registration is open now in the NCA App and at the link in our bio!
