JCFit

| Introducing Business RX

A small business & entrepreneur networking group born inside ! We are connecting business owners, entrepreneurs, and community-minded individuals who want to support, refer, and grow together. Because your next client, collaborator, or connection might already be working out right next to you.

And every quarter, 100% of our membership contributions go directly to a featured nonprofit. No overhead. Every dollar to the cause.

Every other week we will spotlight the incredible people and businesses in our community, and we’re kicking things off with one of our own and longest athletes!

🐾 Meet Eduardo Plata, founder of doghealthfund

The Dog Health Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing financial assistance to low-to-moderate income dog owners facing unaffordable vet bills, because no dog should go without care and no owner should have to choose.

And this Saturday, July 18th, Eduardo and the team are hosting PAWS & PRs — a fundraising event you don’t want to miss!

| JCFIT WEEK AHEAD | WEEK OF 7/13
We are two weeks into July. Last week we retested our front squat and deadlift, and this week we keep building. If you have been showing up consistently, you are going to feel the difference. That is the whole point.

This week we kick off a brand new cycle: the Overhead Squat. Monday we establish our 2-rep max to set the baseline for the weeks ahead. It is a technical lift that demands mobility, stability, and patience. Exactly the kind of work that makes everything else better. Wednesday we take on Elizabeth, a classic CrossFit benchmark, after building through a push press and push jerk complex. Vertical pressing is a theme this month, and you are going to feel it. Tuesday brings pulling skill work and a burpee box jump-over and run interval piece. Friday features a rotating interval chipper of back rack lunges, rowing, and sit-ups. And Saturday is something truly special.

Save the date: PAWS & PRs is this Saturday, July 18 at 9:30 AM right here at JCFit Downtown. This is a community fitness fundraiser benefiting The Dog Health Fund, a nonprofit supporting canine wellness for families who cannot afford veterinary care. The class is free, donations are encouraged, and well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome. Register via Wodify; space is limited. Come sweat, come socialize, and bring your four-legged teammate.

And while we are talking about fundraisers... mark your calendars for Saturday, August 1st. Grid Community Day #3 is coming to JCFit Journal Square, presented by Momentous. If you want to learn more about Grid, this is your chance. If you have been to the last two, you already know. More details dropping soon.

Check the graphic above for the full daily breakdown. Let’s make it a great week. See you up the stairs and down the alley!

| JCFIT WEEK AHEAD | WEEK OF 7/6
Welcome to the first full week of July, and we are not slowing down. More running while the weather is on our side (of course we’ll give the option to stay inside if it’s too hot), more unilateral work, more vertical pressing, and continued Olympic lifting cycling between the sn**ch and the clean. And this week specifically, we are retesting.

That’s right. This week we retest our Front Squat 1RM on Monday and our Deadlift 3RM on Wednesday. You have put in the work over the past several weeks, and now it is time to see exactly where you are. Come ready, come focused, and trust the process you have been building.

And save the date for something really special happening right here at JCFit Downtown. On Saturday, July 18th from 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM we are hosting the PAWS & PRs Fundraiser benefiting The Dog Health Fund, a community fitness event for humans AND their four-legged teammates. Yes, dogs are welcome! There will be a fitness challenge, a pup workout, a raffle, and a post-event social. All are welcome, and we would love to see the whole JCFit family there. Registration is open and free for all. Donations are appreciated.

Check the graphic above for the full daily breakdown. Let’s make it a great week.

See you up the stairs and down the alley!

| JCFIT WEEK AHEAD | WEEK OF 6/29
We are closing out Pride Month and we could not be more grateful. This past Saturday, Werk the Block JCFIT was everything we hoped it would be and more. To every single person who showed up, sweated with us, ran the streets of Jersey City, and donated to The OUT Foundation, thank you. Truly. It was a morning we will never forget. The work continues, and so does the love.

Now we roll into July and there is a lot to be excited about this month. Here is a preview of what you can expect:
We will be retesting our Deadlift and Front Squat cycles so you can see exactly how far you have come. Our Olympic lifting work continues to cycle between the sn**ch and the clean, building skill and confidence on the bar week over week. You will also see more vertical pressing work and a greater focus on unilateral movements: single-leg, single-arm, building the strength that fills in the gaps. And while the weather is on our side, we are going to run. Expect more running volume this month. No excuses, just miles.

This week we kick things off Monday with a gymnastics and strength combo, Tuesday is Oly day with our clean complex, Wednesday features a partner rowling warm-up into reverse lunges and a bodyweight interval piece, and Friday we hit the RDL cycle before a row and deadlift chipper.

And Saturday, July 4th, we move together. Check the note from Coach J9 inside the workout. It says everything we need to say.

Check the graphic above for the full daily breakdown. Let’s make it a great week.

See you up the stairs and down the alley!

| Werk the Block: JCFit Pride Workout & Fundraiser was an incredible success! 🌈💪

Thank you to our amazing JCFit community, our generous sponsors, our Jersey City community partners, and our coaches for making this such a fun and memorable experience.

A special shout-out to Harmonica Sunbeam for hosting us and creating such an incredible atmosphere. And of course, a huge thank you to Coach J9, whose vision and hard work brought this event to life—from the decorations and community collaborations to the raffles and promotion. Your dedication made it all possible.

We were proud to support the OUT Foundation, an LGBTQIA+ nonprofit dedicated to removing barriers and creating opportunities for LGBTQIA+ individuals to access health, wellness, and fitness. At a time when visibility, inclusion, and support matter more than ever, it’s important that we continue to show up for one another.

This is just one of the many ways we can make a difference together.
