August Committed Club 💜

80 athletes hit 13+ classes this month. That’s a lot of time spent at the whiteboard.

And a few streaks worth recognizing:

🔥 12 months: Jim, Nikki, Shannon & Brandon
🔥 6 months: Michelle, Mike & Denise

Month after month, these names keep showing up.

Congrats to everyone who made the board in August. On to the next one.

What are you training for?

A heavier lift?
A faster time?
Your next PR?

Or is there something bigger?

What do you want your body to still be capable of at 80, 90, or even 100 years old?

When Jim asked Mark that question on the podcast, his answer was simple:

“I want to be able to hold my grandkids.” ❤️

That puts training into perspective.

The question was inspired by the Centenarian Decathlon, an idea from Dr. Peter Attia’s book Outlive. A worthy shoutout to Dr. Attia for a question that can completely change the way you think about why you train.

Because what we do in the gym today might have a whole lot more to do with the life we want to live decades from now.

And this was only a minute of Jim and Mark’s conversation.

If this clip made you stop and think about what YOU are training for, you’ll want to hear the full podcast. 🎙️

So, what are you training for?

Today we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families forever changed by September 11, 2001.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. 🇺🇸

Cycle Test Day. 👀

Today we’re retesting Beebop & Runsteady.

2,400 meters of running.
100 bar-facing burpees.
One goal: see what changed.

We first tested this on July 21, and today isn’t about comparing your score to the person next to you. It’s about comparing it to you at the beginning of this cycle.

Did your running get more consistent?
Can you recover faster between efforts?
Can you hold a better pace when the burpees start adding up?

This is why we test and retest.

The work between the two dates is where fitness gets built. Today, we get to measure it.

See you at the whiteboard. 💜

Why do we go upside down in CrossFit? 🙃

Inversions aren’t just about getting a handstand or knocking out handstand push-ups.

Going upside down asks your body to solve a familiar problem in an unfamiliar position. Your shoulders have to support you. Your core has to keep you organized. Your hands become your base, and your balance and body awareness get challenged in a completely different way.

It’s strength, stability, coordination, and control all working together.

And like everything in CrossFit, there’s a progression. Maybe today it’s a pike hold. Eventually it could be a wall walk, handstand, or handstand push-up.

The goal isn’t simply to be upside down.

It’s to become more capable in every position your body can safely learn to own.

See you at the whiteboard. 💜

Come train with us, then go enjoy the rest of your Labor Day with your people.

We’ll see you at the whiteboard. 💜

Swipe to find out your members of the month for September!💪

Homero has been with DOD for just 8 months, and we’ve loved watching the progress he’s made in that time.

He comes in ready to work, challenges himself, and continues to get stronger week after week. But what stands out to us most is his reason for doing it. He wants to be strong, capable, and set an example for his daughters, just like his wife Cristina did for him.

From improved sleep and more energy to saying goodbye to years of shoulder pain, Homero is already seeing how much consistency can change things.

He’s also proof that you don’t have to be an athlete before walking through our doors. You start where you are, we meet you there, and then we build.

We’re proud to name Homero one of our Members of the Month. 💜

Natalie’s return to CrossFit is one we’re excited to celebrate.

After five years of CrossFit before having her girls, she stepped away for a season. Now she’s two months back in, getting her kipping back, getting stronger, and rediscovering just how much she’s capable of.

For Natalie, training has a purpose. She wants to feel good, be strong, and always be able to keep up with Wesleigh and Ryleigh. And having Will alongside her makes it even better.

We also love her perspective on starting: being nervous means you care. Walking through the door takes courage, and one nervous decision can turn into something you’re incredibly thankful you did.

We’re proud to have Natalie as one of our Members of the Month. And now we’ve got our eyes on that 35 lb dumbbell. 💜

Why do we deadlift?

Because picking something heavy up from the ground is one of the most basic things your body was built to do.

The deadlift trains your glutes, hamstrings, back, core, and grip to work together to produce force while keeping your spine stable.

But the value goes beyond getting stronger at a barbell.

Every time you pick up a heavy box, move furniture, grab groceries off the ground, or lift something heavy in everyday life, you’re using the same basic pattern.

In CrossFit, we’re not deadlifting just to improve our deadlift.

We’re building the strength to pick things up safely, move with confidence, and stay capable outside the gym.

That’s why we deadlift.

See you at the whiteboard. 💜
