This gap, right now, is the 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 window all year to build a routine. Not January. Now.

Start today, and by the time the holidays hit, you'll already have the energy and consistency in place to actually enjoy them.⚡

🎙️ NEW PODCAST EPISODE 🎙️

"There's always going to be a reason not to be here." 💪

This week Landon sits down with Brooke, a full-time strategist, a mom, and a self-described scaled athlete who's about to hit the floor at WOD Wars with Brooklyn and Paige.

They talk about:
✅ Making your gym hour non-negotiable
✅ Training by RPE based on how YOU feel today
✅ Her first competition (the day before she found out she was pregnant 👀)
✅ Last year's partial wall walk struggle and this year's redemption arc
✅ Why it's worth competing even if you end up at the bottom of the leaderboard

Everybody starts somewhere. Brooke's son Johnny watches her compete, try hard and have fun with her friends, and that's the point. 🙌

Some days the walk into the gym is only a hundred feet, and it still feels like the hardest part of the day. Stress piling up, mood not great, motivation nowhere to be found.

And then — somewhere in the middle of class — something shifts. A conversation, getting warmed up, finally letting go of whatever was weighing on the morning. By the end: laughing, cheering people on, genuinely glad to be there.

Motivation isn't something you wait for. It's something that shows up once you start.
Anxious about walking in? That's okay. You won't leave that way.

Comment "MOTIVATION" below and let's chat about what showing up could look like for you.

Motivation has a reputation problem. We talk about it like it's something you either have or don't — a light switch that's either on, powering you through

You don't need the belt, the straps, the perfect gym bag before you start.
You need to walk in the door.
The rest can wait.
DM us "WALK IN" and we'll tell you what to bring — spoiler, not much.

🔥 COACH SPOTLIGHT: Coach Derek🔥

Derek's CrossFit Lincoln story goes back further than most, he started here as an athlete in fall 2012, after watching the CrossFit Games on TV and getting hooked. Fourteen years later, he's still PRing, still finding new skills to work on, and still living proof of what showing up consistently, year after year, can do for you.

Derek has been coaching for 3 years. Making the jump from athlete for a decade to putting on a coaches shirt isn't an easy transition, but Derek's approached coaching the same way he's approached his own fitness, as a consistent journey full of opportunities to improve. He's grown and thrived in this role, bringing the same patience and work ethic to his athletes that got him this far as one himself.

He's known for his great music, his helpful cues, and his knack for making everyone feel welcome, Derek can talk to anyone. His coaching style is laid back and personable.

Don't just take our word for it:
💬 "Derek has consistently been a thoughtful and careful observer while we work out, and genuinely enjoyable to interact with after. I move better in just about every way thanks to the coaches." — Anand T.

Fun fact: A warm loaf of banana bread is basically the way to his heart, his favorite gift of appreciation.

📍 Catch Derek coaching Tuesday and Friday mornings. Come say hi.

SLEEP MORE
You don't need eight recovery gadgets.
You need sleep and movement.
That's it — that's the whole recovery protocol most people are overthinking.

"I've got a trip coming up. Then school starts. Then baseball season. Maybe next month. Maybe January."

Sound familiar?

You didn't lose motivation. You just talked yourself into waiting for the "right" time. And the right time never actually shows up, because there isn't one.

Here's the myth: complexity feels like commitment, like you're taking it seriously by having it all figured out first. IT'S ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE. Complexity kills follow-through.

People ask us all the time what shoes they should wear. Honestly? It doesn't matter what shoes you have if you don't show up. You'll figure that out along the way, same with everything else.

You don't need it perfectly planned. You just need to 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁.
Comment "SIMPLE" below and let's chat, no pressure, no plan required.
