CrossFit Ana

Circa 2019.

Something I’ve always struggled with as a gym owner was the balance of real life...real goals..and the box.

The box creates this really amazing community—really awesome relationships—and LOTS of goals and aspirations. What we do is wild! Weights and gymnastics! Cardio and competition—it’s everything men and women need to wake up and...get alive!

However—at times CrossFit becomes the goal—and it was never meant to be that.  

I see CrossFit and it’s community as a tool to make missionaries out of depressed people. CrossFit is a tool to make sick people healthy.  Fitness...in community—is a circle that helps kick deadly and stupid thoughts away.

I just wanted to encourage everyone to take a minute: remember why you started: and reach for that goal.  The goal is to become more whole—and be ready to go do whatever Higher Power has taught you to go...get after.  AMRAPs and TIMECAPs help us do that...braver. Better.

Let’s get after it this week team.

For a long time Medford has been feeding on fast fitness and entertainment.

There’s alot more to living than posts on Instagram and staying comfortable at home/entertained in a diner.

Fully alive is our design. Fully alive is the goal. Serving others and soaring while doing it.

Heavy squats and fluffy dogs.

Now...to the rough part: Jamie Wilson...will be coaching her last class tomorrow at 5am, 6am and the kids class at 4:00pm.  Come. Workout...celebrate her...and remember how many hours..how much sweat...and how she’s been a standard of working CrossFit methodology—our favorite coach in the gym. I want to honor her—she’s carried so much load as I’ve been fighting to grow and build this community over the years. For this I’m unspeakably grateful. She gave me time to pursue Ukraine! Cambodia! Covered me when we built a gym for refugees in San Diego!—she allowed me to take my first vacation in 4.5 years when she joined staff! Holy crap. We value Jamie SO much! And God brought us such a good thing when she jumping into our community. She’s really lead our athletes and CrossFit’s methodology ridiculously well. Please call her...text her...send her chocolate: and as she moves into a new season—don’t let her forget about the opportunities she’s helped walk y’all into.

Don’t be afraid of thrusters. They’re here to serve you.

It seems more and more obvious that couples that work out together, that build disciplines together, that practice different types of habits… Really seem to communicate all the more easily, in all the other areas… What an opportunity to build better connection… Nothing like a barbell to help you bond.

Ready to learn to lift weights? We value form and consistency over intensity..but don’t be deceived..we want the intensity as soon as we can safely get you there!

We can teach you gymnastics, how to control your body..and the path in nutrition to get there!

When it comes to weight loss, strength building or growing in athleticism…how many times will you keep showing up? Results are never quick: if they are…they’re more than likely not real results. So how many times will you drop a small investment into progress? Today’s another opportunity to win one more day.
