Thunder Performance

Meet Laura Medlin, our March Member of the Month at Thunder Performance! ⚡️

Originally from Ormond Beach, FL, Laura brings a serious mix of experience, passion, and positivity to the Thunder fam. She’s not only a CF-L1 Trainer, but also a pro card-holding bodybuilder with Fitness Universe (FAP)—talk about credentials! 💪

Laura recently crushed her first individual competition, showcasing the butterfly pull-ups she’s been working so hard on! Her commitment to growth and her fearless energy during the CrossFit Open this year blew us away.

Beyond her accomplishments, Laura is the ultimate hype woman in our community. She’s always the first to hand out a compliment, give credit where it’s due, and step up to judge during the Open—even if it means battling double-unders. Her energy is absolutely contagious 🩷

Why CrossFit? For Laura, it’s all about the community—an inclusive, positive space focused on health and longevity. And why Thunder? She was drawn in by our Mayhem programming and Coach Jenny’s infectious enthusiasm... and the rest is history.

We’re lucky to have Laura at Thunder Performance. Keep crushing it, Laura—you make this community better every single day! ⚡️

Ready to meet our April Member of the Month?! Stay tuned!!! 🔜🔜

We’re a little late, but the hype is still REAL! Meet Kayla Mastro, a previous Member of the Month Honoree at Thunder Performance!

Kayla came to us looking for strength, structure, and community—and she’s been crushing it ever since. From hitting a 95 # tempo front squat with Coach Jenny to working hard toward mastering double unders and full push-ups, her progress has been incredible to watch. She also absolutely crushed her very first CrossFit Open this year, bringing all the energy and heart we love seeing on the floor!

Originally from Germantown, TN (and a proud Squishmallow collector 😂), Kayla found Thunder through a coworker and some FGCU alumni connections—and now she’s an essential part of our Thunder fam.

Not to mention, she’s a dedicated 6 AMer, starting her mornings strong with the crew! If you want to throw down with Kayla and the early risers, come join us for a class—you might just find your new favorite part of the day 💪

We’re so proud of you, Kayla—Thunder is better because of you! ⚡️

Murph season is almost here, and we’re getting ready to honor the fallen the best way we know how — through hard work, grit, and community.

The Murph Challenge isn’t just a workout — it’s a tribute to Lt. Michael P. Murphy and all those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Like every CrossFit workout, Murph is scalable and modifiable for everyone. It’s not about how you do it, but why we do it.

💥 Important: Preorder your official Murph shirt by May 1! Shirt preorders will close hard at the deadline — no extras will be available. Don’t miss out on repping Thunder and remembering the meaning behind every rep you put in.

To help our members get ready, is launching a 5-week Murph Prep cycle starting April 21st. We’ll tie together all the squats, pressing, and pulling we’ve been building with Murph Prep Monday workouts.

We’ll be taking on Murph at Thunder on Saturday, May 24th — heat times, full event info, and how you can participate as a non-member will drop on May 1.

Let’s show up big this year — preorder your shirt, prep hard, and honor the heroes. 🇺🇸

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s the badasses of Thunder Performance taking on 25.2!

CrossFit Open Workout 25.2 was a test of skill, endurance, and mental toughness, featuring a spicy mix of gymnastics, double-unders, and thrusters. Athletes had to dig deep as they tackled high-skill movements and pushed through the burn, proving once again that Thunder Performance doesn’t back down from a challenge.

The CrossFit Open is the first stage of the CrossFit Games season, where athletes worldwide compete in a series of workouts over three weeks. It’s a test of fitness, community, and heart—whether you’re aiming for the Games or just proving something to yourself.

We’re so proud of the Thunder athletes that competed and gave it their all! Keep crushing it, beasts! Where to next? 👀

Congratulations on being named on being named one of Golf Digest’s Best Fitness Trainers in America for 2025-26! This recognition fuels Thor’s passion for helping golfers achieve their peak performance through a blend exercise, biomechanics, and lifestyle.

“Success is a milestone, not the destination. I hope everyone could achieve their goals and have everything they ever dreamed of, so they would know that it’s not the answer. True joy lies in the journey, not the finish line—embrace the process, and happiness will follow,” - Thor

Kudos to you, Thor! We’re lucky to have your expertise and coaching as a core component of Thunder Performance 👏👏
