Brigade Athletic Club

💥 The secret to better results isn't motivation...it's accountability.

Research backs it up.

A 2025 randomized controlled trial found that people training in a supervised, accountable gym environment completed 88% of their workouts, compared to just 52% for those following a self-guided program on their own.

That's a 70% higher adherence rate—simply because they had coaches, structure, and a community expecting them to show up.

And here's the best part: The people who showed up more consistently got stronger, built more muscle, and saw better results.

At Brigade Athletic Club, we believe that's what community is all about. Our coaches know your goals. Your classmates know your name. And together, we help you stay consistent long enough to see the changes you've been working for.

💪 You don't need more willpower.
❤️ You need the right environment.

Ready to stop starting over? Join us this week and experience the difference that accountability—and an incredible community—can make.

🎉 Happy 39th Birthday to the GOAT, Rich Froning Jr.! 🐐

Had to take a trip down memory lane and share some of Emily's photo collection with Rich that dates all the way back to 2011. It's been incredible to watch his journey over the years, and it's no exaggeration to say that Rich, Mayhem, and the Mayhem community have had a profound impact on our journey at Brigade Athletic Club.

Yes, Rich is a legend in the sport—winning four consecutive CrossFit Games championships followed by six CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup team titles over the next eight years. But as remarkable as those accomplishments are, that's not what stands out most.

On his side is tattooed Galatians 6:14:
"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ."

That verse captures what has always made Rich different. He's never viewed CrossFit as the destination—he's viewed it as the platform.

As Rich recently shared: "CrossFit gave me a platform. And I've always known that platform isn't mine."

Today, there are more than 2,000 Mayhem Affiliate gyms in over 60 countries, and his vision is bigger than fitness. Through Operation 2000, the mission is to equip those gyms and coaches to become outposts for the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the year 2033—2,000 years after Christ's resurrection.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19: "Go and make disciples of all nations."

We believe CrossFit gyms are uniquely positioned for that mission. They're places where people struggle together, encourage one another, build trust, and develop authentic relationships. We've experienced that firsthand at Brigade, and it's a big part of why we do what we do.

Happy Birthday, Rich! Thank you for showing the world what it looks like to pursue excellence while keeping Christ at the center. Your legacy extends far beyond championships, and we're grateful for the impact you've had on our gym, our family, and countless lives around the world.

📚✏️ Back-to-school means it's time to get back into a routine! 💪

Your kids are watching. 👀

Research shows that when parents make fitness a priority, their children are much more likely to be active too. The greatest lesson you can teach isn't with your words—it's with your example.

🏋️ Show them consistency.
❤️ Show them commitment.
🔥 Show them that taking care of your health is just what your family does.

This season, don't just get the kids back on a schedule...get yourself back on one too.

At Brigade Athletic Club, we'll help you build a routine that fits your life and keeps you showing up—for yourself and for the people who look up to you.

“You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” — Psalm 32:7 🤍

No matter what you’re carrying today, God is our refuge. He doesn’t promise a life without challenges, but He does promise His presence through them. When life feels heavy, run to Him. He is your safe place, your strength, and your deliverer.

As you train today, remember that true strength isn’t just built in the gym—it’s found in trusting the One who surrounds you with His peace.

💪 Train hard.
🙏 Trust God.
❤️ Walk in His strength.

You don't have to live in the gym to get stronger. 💪

New research from the American College of Sports Medicine shows that just 3 strength training sessions per week is enough to build meaningful muscle when your workouts are well-programmed and progressively challenged over time.

At Brigade Athletic Club, that's exactly what we do. Every workout is intentionally designed, every coach is there to guide you, and every session moves you closer to your goals—whether you're just getting started or getting back into a routine.

The hardest part isn't the workout...it's walking through the door.

Ready to get stronger? Join us this week and let our coaches take the guesswork out of your training.

Take that step of faith. 💪❤️

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." — Joshua 1:9 🙏

👏 Big congratulations to our own Diane & Kurt on earning their CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Certification this weekend! 💥

⚽💪 The World Cup reminds us what elite soccer looks like.

But greatness isn't built under the bright lights... it's built in the work no one sees. 👊

This month, our high school soccer athletes are training to become stronger, faster, and more durable for the season ahead.

🏋️ Build strength.
⚡ Develop power.
🛡️ Prevent injuries.
🔥 Perform with confidence.

Because the best athletes aren't just talented—they're prepared.

Every rep is an investment in the next match, the next season, and the athlete they're becoming.

Let's get to work. ⚽💥
