How well do you actually know Pasadena? 👀

Here are a few random Pasadena facts you might not know:

🌹 We host the Rose Parade every year.

🍔 The cheeseburger was invented right here in Pasadena around 1924. (City of Pasadena)

🦜 We have those VERY loud green parrots that apparently believe everyone in Pasadena should be awake at 5 a.m.

🛣️ The Arroyo Seco Parkway, now part of the 110, opened in 1940 and is recognized as the first freeway in California and the United States. (Caltrans)

📺 And if Pasadena looks familiar, there’s a reason. The Big Bang Theory was set in Pasadena, with the characters living and working around the city and Caltech. (City of Pasadena)

Pasadena has way more history than you’d think.

Which one did you not know?

Want to eventually get upside down and work toward handstand push-ups? Start here.

Using a box with your knees supported lets you practice the pressing motion without having to support your entire bodyweight upside down.

Focus on keeping your hips high, staying controlled, and getting comfortable pressing your head toward the floor and driving back up.

As you build strength and confidence, you can gradually progress toward harder variations and eventually the full handstand push-up.

You don’t have to jump straight to the hardest version. Build the strength first, then earn the movement.

The people you train with matter.

It’s a lot easier to keep showing up when you actually enjoy being around the people you train with.

At Pendulum Fitness, you’ll find people at different ages, fitness levels, and stages of their journey all training in the same room. You work hard together, joke around between sets, and encourage each other when the workout gets tough.

Over time, those familiar faces become one of the reasons you keep coming back.

Because a good gym gives you a place to work out.

A great gym gives you people you actually look forward to seeing.

Burpees are simple… until you put a barbell in the way.

With bar-facing burpees, the goal is to stay controlled and efficient. Get your chest down, bring your feet back underneath you, then use a quick two-foot jump to clear the bar.

The cleaner your movement is, the less energy you waste, especially when the reps start adding up.

Slow it down, learn the movement correctly, then build speed from there.

Save this for the next time bar-facing burpees show up in the workout.

You’re stronger than you were three months ago.

It’s easy to miss progress when you see yourself every day. The weight that used to feel heavy starts moving a little easier. You recover faster. Your technique feels more natural. You walk into workouts with more confidence.

None of it happens overnight.

It comes from showing up week after week, putting in the reps, and slowly building on what you did before.

Sometimes progress isn’t a huge PR or a dramatic transformation. Sometimes it’s simply realizing that something you struggled with a few months ago doesn’t feel so hard anymore.

Take a second and think about where you were three months ago.

What can you do now that you couldn’t do then?

The hardest part of the workout might be walking through the door.

Especially when you’re new.

You might wonder if you’re fit enough, if everyone else is going to be way ahead of you, or if you’ll even know what you’re doing.

That’s what the coaches are here for.

Every workout at Pendulum Fitness can be adjusted to where you’re at right now. You don’t have to show up knowing the movements or being able to keep up with anyone else.

Just get through the door. We’ll help you with the rest.

Pendulum Fitness has been part of Pasadena for years, and there’s a reason we’re still here.

We’re one of the top rated gyms in Pasadena and currently the only CrossFit gym in the city. But what’s kept this place going isn’t just the workouts. It’s the community that’s been built around them.

People come here to get stronger, move better, and improve their health, but they also come back because they know the coaches and the people training next to them.

Pasadena has changed a lot over the years, but we’re proud to still be here doing what we do. 💪
