CrossFit 916

Another milestone reached.

Congratulations to our own Elias Rieland on advancing to the Semifinals stage of the 2026 CrossFit Games season this weekend.

If you’ve spent any time at CrossFit 916, you’ve probably seen Elias putting in the work—often training in the back of the gym long before or after classes.

This season, Elias finished 119th in the world, earning his place among the top athletes in the sport and qualifying for Semifinals.

Beyond his accomplishments as an athlete, Elias is a big part of what makes CrossFit 916 run. He handles our marketing, designs our merchandise, and coaches classes, all while continuing to pursue his own competitive goals.

Congrats on an incredible season so far, Elias. We appreciate everything you contribute to the gym and are excited to see what you do next.

HE DID IT!🍾 Congratulations to our very own Dennis McTaggart on punching his FIRST ticket to the CrossFit Games! CrossFit Games

The hard work and dedication you’ve displayed over the past year have been nothing short of incredible, and now it’s official— You’re BAY AREA BOUND!!!

This past weekend, Dennis competed at the Latin American Masters Championship in Colombia, where he secured 1st place and won 3 of the 5 events in the 60-64 age group division.

Dennis is much more than an elite athlete. He’s a father, husband, grandfather, coach, and one of the pillars of our community. Dennis has been at CrossFit 916 since almost its inception.

Whether he’s helping our members improve, keeping our equipment running smoothly, maintaining our facility, moving the rig around the gym or simply lending a hand wherever it’s needed, Dennis plays a huge role in making CrossFit 916 the place it is today.

We can’t adequately express how grateful we are for everything Dennis has done for CrossFit 916 and the people in it. This achievement couldn’t happen to a more deserving person. Congrats, Dennis. We’re incredibly proud of you and can’t wait to cheer you on in person this August at the CrossFit Games!🤘🏼🐻
