There’s just something about seeing that barbell overhead. 🔥

CrossFit isn’t always about lifting the heaviest weight in the room. It’s about learning how to move well, building strength and confidence, and continuing to challenge yourself no matter where you’re starting from.

Every press, every rep, every class adds up. The weight that feels heavy today might be your warm up a year from now. That’s why we keep showing up, working on technique, getting stronger, and celebrating the progress along the way.

Strong looks different on everyone, but earning it one rep at a time never changes.

Keep showing up. Keep putting in the work. We see you getting stronger!

Squat depth matters, and there’s a reason we work on it every single day in the gym!

At CrossFit Slower Lower, we teach our athletes to squat below parallel when they are physically able to do so with good form and control. It’s not just about making the rep “count.” A full depth squat trains your body through a greater range of motion, builds strength through the hips and legs, and helps us maintain the mobility we need outside of the gym too.

Think about everyday life. Sitting down. Standing back up. Getting off the floor. Picking something up. Our bodies were made to move through these positions, and we want to keep that ability for as long as possible.

But depth never comes before good movement. If mobility, an injury, or another limitation keeps someone from safely getting below parallel, we scale it and work from where they are. That’s what CrossFit is all about. Meet you where you are, work on good mechanics, and keep getting stronger.

So when your coach tells you, “A little lower!” we promise there’s a reason for it!

Strong legs are great. Strong legs through a full range of motion are even better.

Take a look at our member Amy R.!

This past weekend Amy competed in her SECOND HYROX competition and absolutely crushed it! We are so incredibly proud of her for putting in the work, showing up, and challenging herself once again.

This is exactly what we mean when we say CrossFit prepares you for anything.

The strength, endurance, conditioning, mental toughness, and ability to keep moving when things get hard all carry over far beyond a regular CrossFit workout. Whether it’s HYROX, a 5K, an obstacle race, a competition, or just everyday life, the work you put in at the gym shows up when you need it.

We have some seriously strong and determined members and we LOVE getting to watch them take their fitness outside of our four walls.

Way to go, Amy! Second HYROX in the books and we are super proud of you!

Why do we do gymnastics in CrossFit?

Because gymnastics is about so much more than pull ups, handstands, toes to bar, and muscle ups.

Gymnastics teaches you how to control your own body. It builds strength, coordination, balance, flexibility, stability, and body awareness. And those things carry over into just about everything else we do inside AND outside of the gym.

Every time you work on a strict pull up, hold yourself on the rings, practice a handstand, or work through a progression, you are building strength using your own bodyweight.

And remember, gymnastics does NOT have to mean doing the most advanced movement on the board. Ring rows are gymnastics. Box assisted pull ups are gymnastics. Hanging knee raises are gymnastics. Wall walks are gymnastics. There is always a progression that meets you exactly where you are.

That is one of the things we love about CrossFit. You don’t have to be able to do it all on day one. We practice. We build strength. We work through progressions. And sometimes one day that movement you have been working on for months finally clicks!

So when you see gymnastics on the board, don’t skip it because you think you “can’t do gymnastics.”

Show up and work on YOUR version of it. That is how we get better.

Let’s switch it up today with a few fun facts about CrossFit and functional fitness!

Did you know a lot of what we do in the gym is really just training you for everyday life?

Squats help you sit down and stand back up.

Deadlifts help you safely pick things up off the ground.

Farmer carries translate to carrying groceries, luggage, kids, or basically everything in from the car in ONE trip because we all know two trips are not an option.

Box step-ups help with stairs, hiking, and getting up onto things.

Pressing overhead helps with putting things on shelves or lifting something above your head.

And one of my favorites, getting up and down from the floor. It seems simple until it isn’t!

CrossFit isn’t just about lifting heavy weights or getting a fast time on the board. Functional fitness is about building a body that can DO things and hopefully keep doing them for a very long time.

What’s something outside of the gym that you’ve noticed has gotten easier since starting CrossFit?

Take a look at our August Committed Club!

You guys did a fantastic job as always! Just look at those numbers! We LOVE seeing so many of you hitting 20+ classes for the month. That is some serious consistency and hard work!

We are so super proud of you guys for continuing to show up, put in the work, and make yourselves a priority. Give yourself a pat on the back because you earned it!

Now let’s see what we can do in September!

Random CrossFit fact for the day!

Did you know walking around after a hard workout instead of immediately sitting or laying down can actually help your body gradually bring your heart rate back down?

Which is funny because after some workouts, the floor is literally the ONLY place any of us want to be!

So when your coach tells you to keep moving, grab some water and walk it out for a minute, we promise we’re not just trying to keep you from making a sweat angel on the floor!

Be honest, are you team “walk it off” or team “I live on this floor now”?
