We have a funny way of forgetting how lucky we are.

Being able to move your body.
Having air in your lungs.
Getting stronger.
Walking without pain.
Picking up something heavy.
Breathing hard and knowing your body is capable of doing something difficult.

We call these workouts but they’re actually luxuries.

So maybe we stop treating the opportunity to train like a chore.

Maybe we stop waiting until we feel motivated.

Maybe we stop wishing we had a different body and start appreciating the one that shows up for us every single day.

You don’t have to love every workout. But you get to have one. That’s worth something.

Don’t waste what someone else is hoping they’ll have tomorrow.

FIRST: CONGRATS AND MAD PROPS TO ALL THE RFC ATHLETES THAT COMPETED TODAY AND DID AMAZING THINGS.

Today was a pretty perfect reminder that CrossFit is about so much more than what happens on the competition floor.

Yes, we had athletes competing. We had people pushing themselves, hitting PRs, getting nervous, getting uncomfortable, and giving it everything they had.

AND we had the people who showed up to cheer.The people who helped. The people who encouraged. The kids running around.
The friends yelling a little louder when you needed it most. The people who came simply because their people were competing.

Because when you find a community that celebrates your effort—not just your results—you’ve found something special.

You don’t have to compete to belong here. You just have to show up.

This is RFC. And this is what community looks like. 🤎

“What do I wear to my first class?!”
It’s one of the first questions that comes up, but no one wants to ask. And let’s face it, CF has a lot of stereotypes to overcome in this department. So here’s the truth: you don’t need to buy a whole new personality to start at RFC 🤣.

- You don’t need the matching set.
You don’t need $200 shoes.
You don’t need knee sleeves, wrist wraps, grips, a belt, chalk, or enough supplements to open a GNC.

You just need to show up.

What to actually wear:

• Comfortable shorts or leggings
• A T-shirt or tank you can move in
• Athletic shoes with a reasonably stable sole (ie no running shoes)
• Socks
• Something you feel comfortable sweating in

That’s it.

As you get more experience, you may find certain gear helpful—but none of it is a prerequisite for walking through the door.

And please don’t wait until you’re “in shape” to start CrossFit.

That’s literally what the gym is for. 💪

The dreaded whiteboard 😱🤯🫠

What is it and what is on it?! This is one of those random things that poses a big mental block in your first classes. But what you’ll quickly realize is you don’t need to know what it means.

Everything is immediately explained at the very beginning of class. Item by item. In great detail. Every movement, including the scaled (modified) versions, is broken down into simple steps. Forget something after you start? Ask! Chances are half the class is wondering the same thing.

Many of our members had never touched a barbell before their first class! Don’t let that and the overwhelming whiteboard stop you from trying something you may just end up loving.

“What if…” This single question alone often stops us from taking on something new. And let’s be honest: fitness with zero fitness background feels REAL intimidating. So let’s just knock out some of those pesky “what if” questions that are currently a road block to a better, healthier, stronger you! Then, come back here and fill out the form because, WHAT IF it’s the best choice you ever made?!

“I have an injury, so I can’t do CrossFit.” WOW does this one come up often!!!

We hear this kind of thing all the time. Old shoulder injury. Bad back. Knee surgery. Ankle that never quite felt the same. Something that hurts every time you squat.

And sometimes people assume that means they need to stay away from exercise altogether.

One of the things we love about CrossFit is that movements can be scaled, modified and adapted to meet you where you are.

Maybe that means less weight. Maybe it’s a different movement. Maybe it’s a smaller range of motion. Maybe we’re working on rebuilding strength and confidence in an area that hasn’t felt great in years.

The goal isn’t to ignore an injury and “push through.” The goal is to train intelligently within your current abilities and gradually build from there.

And if something is painful, new, or outside our scope? We want you working with the appropriate healthcare professional—and we have some amazing connections here! (Iron Rx Physical Therapy).

You don’t have to walk through our doors perfectly healthy, perfectly mobile or completely pain-free. You just need to be willing to start where you are.

Your body can change a LOT when you consistently teach it that it’s capable of more.

Come talk to us. We’ll figure out what your starting point looks like.

So you want to try CrossFit at RFC…but what should you expect?! Even though CF is all about performing in the unknowns, here’s a sneak peek at what you can expect on your first (and 1000th) day at RFC.

RFC IS HOSTING THE TRU CHALLENGE.

And if you’ve ever thought, “I could never do a CrossFit competition…”
This one might change your mind.

The TRU Challenge is a competition designed to challenge you, push you outside your comfort zone, and—most importantly—have a freaking good time doing it! BUT it’s novice through RX friendly making it the perfect starting point.

You don’t have to be the strongest person in the gym. You don’t have to be the fastest. You don’t have to be “competition ready.”

You just need a dream, a willingness to work hard, and a little bit of crazy.

October 10th. RFC.

Grab your people. Build your team. Come see what you’re capable of. Registration is OPEN.

Results. Fitness. Community.
RFC.
