🏋️ Our In-House Weightlifting & Powerlifting Meet is coming up 11/1!

We have a great crew signed up, so we’re sharing some standards + info on how the day will run.

LIFTERS: Please arrive at 7:30am. Volunteers, we’ll reach out separately about your schedule.

POWERLIFTING
Check out the video for the powerlifting standards

How it works:
• Back Squat : 3 attempts
• Bench Press: 3 attempts
• Deadlift: 3 attempts

• You declare your weight before each attempt. You can increase your weight between attempts, but once you’re on the platform, you’re committed. If you miss, you cannot go down.

While this is not a sanctioned meet, we will be abiding by powerlifting standards so please make sure you’re familiar and practicing good reps!

If you have any questions, please let us know!

Still want to compete or volunteer? Add your name to the list at the front desk!

Each year, we recognize an athlete who truly embodies what it means to be part of the Novem community: showing up consistently, supporting others, and bringing a great attitude to every workout.

Congratulations to our 2026 Fit Athlete of the year, Mike! 🏆

Here’s a little more about him:

Favorite Past Time:
I love being outside and cooking

Outside of Cross Fit, what do you do with yourself?
I recently bought an older Toyota pickup truck (after my last car was stolen) which I plan on building out to take camping/ off roading

What was your first introduction into CrossFit ?
I would join my dad for his CrossFit style workouts in our homemade backyard gym

My anniversary is…. 9/2024

When did you decide Cross Fit was the right choice for you and your fitness?
It was the perfect transition out of college Running and wanting to get stronger

How frequently do you train?
At least 3 classes with a run or bike on my off days

What was the hardest part of getting started with Crossfit?
I work overnight so finding the right time to workout (which is never, but I gotta do it anyway)

What is the best part that gets you to the gym? or What do you look forward to?
The 8:20 crew!

What has been your happiest moment or greatest self accomplishment at Novem?
Event 3 at the Novem in-house comp this year, when Nate and I won the event.

What advice would you give to someone new starting out?
There is nothing better than working out in a group and pushing yourself

Do you have any expectations for this year in terms of your fitness ?
I want to get back to my roots in running while also working on lifting technique

Our Barbell Athlete of the Year is someone who shows up consistently, supports their fellow members, and never gives up — someone who embodies what it means to be a part of the Novem community. 🏋️

We are proud to announce Lauren as our 2026 Barbell Athlete of the Year! 🎉

Here’s a little more about her and her weightlifting journey:

What first drew you to Olympic weightlifting, and what keeps you coming back?
I started CrossFit in 2014, but I quickly realized that my favorite part of training was the Olympic lifts. I wanted more dedicated time to work on the sn**ch and clean & jerk, so I joined barbell class and never really looked back. What keeps me coming back is the challenge. No matter how long you’ve been lifting, there’s always something to improve. The pursuit of a technically perfect lift is endless, and that combination of frustration and reward keeps the sport interesting.

Describe your lifting journey in three words:
Humbling. Maddening. Long.

What is a moment in your lifting career you’re especially proud of?
Putting up a total at American Open Series in 2018. I was incredibly anxious about lifting in that setting, but I was able to keep it together and put up some good lifts, even if I left some kilos on the platform.

What’s the toughest lesson weightlifting has taught you?
The toughest lesson has been learning that effort and results aren’t always perfectly correlated. You can have great training habits, work hard, do everything right, and still have days when nothing goes according to plan. Weightlifting has taught me to focus on consistency and the long game rather than instant gratification. Trust the process!

What’s the most “weightlifter” thing you’ve ever done outside the gym?
I typically hook grip the steering wheel when I’m driving.
