CrossFit Steamboat

MEMBER PROFILE

“Hey Everyone! I’m Amalia, a new member of the Steamboat Cross Fit community. Thank you all for welcoming me in! Most of you know that I started my Cross Fit journey to get in shape for my wedding. But, quickly I realized I needed CrossFit in my life for so many more important reasons. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed School Counselor, my passion in life is growing, learning, and challenging myself (and others). CrossFit absolutely scratched that itch! With so many soccer, make-up, and dance injuries, my sources of exercise were very limited. But with all of your kindness and patience, I’ve found a workout home where I can heal my body, grow stronger and have fun doing it. What a blessing!
When I’m not at the gym, I’m either fishing or cooking with my honey. Please reach out if you ever need some make-up advice, recipes, or relationship coaching. I’m your girl!”

Our members are so cool

Amalia….thanks for being a part of our community :)

WHY WE DO THINGS: RANGE OF MOTION
Why do we care so much about full range of motion?
Because we don’t just want you to move well in the gym.
We want you to move well in your life.
You fall down on the ski hill.
Can you get back up?
You sink into that ridiculously squishy couch. 😂
Can you get yourself back out?
You squat down to pick something up.
Can you stand back up?
You get down on the floor to play with your kids or grandkids.
Can you get back up?
You step over a log on the trail.
Can you get your leg where you need it to go?
That’s why we train full range of motion.
We’re not just checking a box because the CrossFit standard says you have to.
We’re teaching your body to be strong and controlled throughout the range of motion that life asks of you.
And everyone’s range of motion is going to look a little different.
Injuries, mobility, strength, experience, age—it all matters.
Our job as coaches is to help you find the best movement you can do today and help you improve from there.
Which brings us to something new you’ll see on the whiteboard...
If you’re consistently missing the intended range of motion during a workout, we may put a little notation next to your name.
Don’t panic. 😂
It’s not a grade.
It’s not a punishment.
It’s not us saying you had a bad workout.
It’s simply awareness.
We’ll keep coaching you throughout class. We’ll cue you, help you modify, and help you figure out what you need.
Because we want you here.
We want you moving.
We want you getting stronger.
AND we want you to do the best you can do.
Technique first.
Speed second.
Because someday, getting off the floor isn’t going to be a workout.
It’s just going to be life.
And we want you ready for it.
❤️

WHAAAAATTTTT! 😳🔥
Look at this list!!
And look at all these new faces in the Committed Club! 🙌
👏 Welcome, Carrie and Kyle!
👏 Nice to see you back, Val!
Way to show up during the heart of summer. Between vacations, camping trips, river days, and everything else July throws at us, making it to the gym 15+ times is no small feat.
We’re proud of every one of you. 💙
And to those of you who didn’t quite make it this month—we hope you’re out there hiking, biking, paddling, golfing, chasing kids, or doing whatever keeps you active and healthy. That’s what summer in Steamboat is all about.
Alright August... let’s have a month. 👊
Who’s joining the Committed Club next?

This weekend reminded us why we coach the way we do.

We had athletes competing at every level.

A few weeks ago, we were cheering on Ken at the CrossFit Games. This weekend, we had members stepping onto a competition floor for the very first time.

Different stages. Same standards.

One event in particular stood out:

The workout was a heavy complex:
1 Power Clean + 1 Hang Clean + 1 Jerk.

There were four teams on the floor.

Three of them were ours.

One by one, our athletes stepped up to bars loaded with BIG weight...

..and they moved beautifully.

Not sloppy.

Not rushed.

Not “just make it.”

Beautiful.

Power cleans with patience.

Hang cleans with confidence.

Jerks stacked overhead.

Those lifts weren’t the result of one training cycle.
They were the result of years of slowing down, practicing good movement, and refusing to cut corners.

If you’ve ever wondered why we ask you to squat one more inch, finish your pull, lock out overhead, or even take weight off the bar until the movement is right...

This is why.

Will that philosophy always put us on the top of the podium?

Maybe not.

But we will take beautiful movement every time.

Because beautiful movement lasts.

It keeps you healthy.

It makes you stronger.

And eventually...it makes you faster, too.

That moment reminded us that we’re building something special here.

Over the next five weeks, we are going to share the “why” behind the way we coach—why we hold the standards, why we keep score, why we scale workouts, and what makes CrossFit different.

We hope you’ll follow along.
