✨ Coach Highlight: Michele Barbone!✨

Michele has been coaching for over a year now, but is finally getting her highlight!

𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: I don’t have one favorite movement, but I do tend to like movements that others despise, such as overhead squats and double unders. On the flip side, I absolutely hate deadlifts.

𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆: I began shortly after I graduated from college. I was looking for a competitive outlet after my soccer career ended. It started with sprint tris and road races until I found my way into a CrossFit box in April 2010. I received my Level 1 certificate in November 2011 and have been coaching ever since.

𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: Maintain my strength and fitness. I have set numbers that I want to always be able to hit, no matter what, just to keep my overall strength. After years of competing at higher levels, I’m very happy to just enjoy my workouts and help others hit their own fitness and movement goals.

𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰: Definitely dependent on my mood, but it will almost always include late 90s/early 00s hip-hop. Favorite workout song is Look At Me Now by Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, and Busta Rhymes. It can also vary depending on what I’m doing. I love a more fast-paced playlist for metcons, while I’m more likely to listen to country or something more chill while I’m lifting.

𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: I used to skydive and had my license to jump solo.

Awesome work to everyone that came out to complete CHAD (1,000 weighted step ups) this Veterans Day as a way to remember the service of our veterans this holiday.

This Veterans Day, we’ll be honoring our veterans by taking on “Chad” — a hero workout that brings the fitness community together each year in memory of Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson, who lost his life in 2018 due to the invisible wounds of war. 🪖🎖️

We’ll have two class times available on Veterans Day:
9:00-11:00 AM
5:00-7:00 PM
Members will have up to 2 hours to complete the workout.

The Workout: Chad

For Time:
1,000 Weighted Box Step-Ups

He/They: 45lb / 30lb / Unweighted — 20” / 12” box
She/They: 35lb / 20lb / Unweighted — 20” / 12” box

About the Workout

“Chad” was created to honor Senior Chief Wilkinson and to raise awareness about the challenges veterans face, including traumatic brain injuries (TBI), blast-wave injuries, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Each year, athletes nationwide complete this workout to support The Step Up Foundation, which works to change the narrative around veteran su***de and expand awareness about these injuries.

Gear Notes

The weight is traditionally a ruck (weighted backpack).

If you have a weighted vest, that works perfectly!

Otherwise, bring an empty backpack — we’ll help load it with slam balls.

You can also hold a weight, though it’s a tougher option.

Workout Options

Not ready to tackle all 1,000 reps solo?
Team up with a friend and split the reps — we’re all in this together.

Let’s show up, step up, and honor those who’ve served.
We can’t wait to see you there.

We are pleased to offer this free seminar focused around the ever challenging double unders! Whether you are looking to get your first double under, 10 in a row, or perfect your form, this seminar is for you! Reserve online, only 10 spots available.
