APRIL GRINDERS 💪

Big shoutout to everyone who made it in 13+ times this April.
Showing up consistently and putting in the work.

May is here, summer is getting closer, and there’s no better time to get in the gym and get after it.
Let’s keep it rolling. 🔥

March Madness! 🌟

Shoutout to all of our members who made it to the gym at least 13 times this past month of March! Your consistency and dedication matter. 💪

There were a lot of names on this list this month, and that’s what we love to see. Let’s keep it growing!

If you didn’t quite hit 13 this past month, don’t sweat it. April’s a new month to get those tallies.

Today’s ‘Jesus’ workout reminded us of sacrifice, endurance, and the strength that changed everything. The WOD was built around the 14 Stations of the Cross — including the three times Jesus fell on His path from Gabbatha to Golgotha, and finally, His body being laid in the tomb.
Easter at CrossFit Rutherford is about more than fitness. It’s about honoring a journey marked by suffering, love, and a sacrifice far greater than any challenge we face in the gym.
Gratitude is our posture today.

We loved watching our crew take on The Via Dolorosa — the ‘Way of Sorrow,’ the path Jesus walked to His crucifixion. Though the route is only about 600 meters, the true weight of that journey came from His suffering and the burden of the cross. Tradition tells us Jesus carried the crossbar for part of the way, with Simon of Cyrene helping carry it the rest. Our Good Friday workout was our small way of honoring a sacrifice far greater than any physical challenge.

This weekend at CFR 👀

We’re teaming up with ReForm Physical Therapy for a Back Pain + Bracing Workshop and this is one you don’t want to miss.

📅 Saturday, March 28th
⏰ 10:45 AM

If you’ve ever dealt with back pain, struggled to feel your core during lifts, or just want to move better and stay healthy long term… this is for you.

What we’ll cover:
• How to properly activate and brace your core for lifting
• Simple ways to protect your low back under load
• Hip + low back mobility and strength work to keep you moving well

This is real, practical stuff you can immediately apply in the gym and in everyday life.

Spots are limited, grab yours through the link/QR code in bio or story!

Tomorrow we take on Litmus Test #3.

These four already got a crack at it… and let’s just say it’s a grinder 😮‍💨

Nothing crazy complicated. Just one of those workouts where you’ve got to settle in and keep moving. Runs, machines, and a few other pieces (hybrid race vibe… IYKYK).

Come in and give it a shot. We’ll be building on this over the next several weeks, then retesting to see your progress!!

Johnny started CrossFit in 2006 at 59 years old, and this year marks 20 years of him doing CrossFit.

When the CrossFit Open started in 2011, he signed up and has done it every year since. Today Johnny completed his 16th Open 🤯

Now at 79, Johnny is still in the gym doing his thing.

He is also a regular in our Essentials program and consistently shows up to put the work in with that group. His story is a good reminder that no matter where you are starting from, you can decide to start and make a change.

And if you have ever seen Johnny move, you know one thing he might have on everyone else in the gym is his flexibility and mobility. It is honestly impressive.

Sixteen Opens later, and continuing to make a positive change in his life. 💪

This post might be a little late… but the work wasn’t.

Huge shoutout to the CFR members who showed up 13+ times in February.
Short month, busy schedules, and you still kept stacking sessions.

That’s what the grind looks like. 💪
