CrossFit Downtown Santa Ana

From the little kid who used to come in and get his workout in, to now helping coach and inspiring those around him.

Today we celebrated Christian (LiL Xian) with a farewell workout before he heads off to UCLA! 🐻 It’s been so special watching him grow up in this gym and seeing the person and athlete he’s become.

Swipe for a little trip down memory lane 🥹➡️

We’re so proud of you LiL Xian! Go make the most of this next chapter. UCLA is lucky to have you! 💙💛

How did you get into CrossFit? And how long have you been doing it for?
- Back in 2018 I was looking for a more positive way to ground my mental and physical health. Fortunately I found CrossFit. I’ve always been active and competitive, but nothing compares to Crossfit - always leaves me feeling balanced, buff, and beat up.

Every year, during the week of Mama Grace’s birthday, we gather to celebrate her life and honor her memory through a workout dedicated to her.

Mama Grace was a beloved member of our community whose kindness, strength, and spirit left a lasting impact on so many. Her legacy lives on through the Guerra brothers, who continue to be an important part of our gym family.

This is what CrossFit is all about. It’s more than fitness. It’s the connections we build and the people who stand beside us. We come together to remember, support, and honor one another. We are grateful to celebrate Mama Grace’s life each year, together.

💜💜💜

Liberty and justice for all. These words remind us not only of what we celebrate, but of what we continue to work toward. Wishing everyone a safe and Happy 4th of July from the CrossFit DTSA family!! ❤️🤍💙
