We hope this helps you take a step in the right direction. ----- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro Join our FREE Facebook group where we post a ton of content, free guides,...

(It's another soap box episode with Coach T...) Your environment, the people you surround yourself with, the lifestyle you live because of those around you, the attitude that you carry on a day-to-day basis ... it all plays into the success you've laid out for yourself.

What.A.Fun.Episode.Today! Seriously. It's super fun. This is one topic that I am super excited to chat about, something I am really passionate about, and something I am incredibly grateful that I have a team in place who can help bring this to life. For 10 years, we didn't pay much attention to why people came to CFF or what they were trying to do. It was a huge disservice, but a part of our growth we can't change. In the last 3-4 years, it became incredibly important and meaningful to us that w...

Making it up the stairs that day feels like Mount Everest, and you're not sure how much longer you can do this.

Many people think that we get weaker as we get older. And it’s true that we’ll all experience some physical decline as we age. But it’s a fact that strength can be improved at any age, and older adults who train regularly can become incredibly strong. With continued training, they can hold much of that strength very late in life. Think of it like this: If you don’t use it, you’ll lose it. And you certainly won’t improve it. ---- Book your FREE No Sweat Intro here: crossfitfunction.com/free-intro...

We’ve all heard this sage advice: “Don’t ever shop for groceries on an empty stomach.” It’s doubly true if you’re trying to cut costs in the face of inflation. Plan-free grocery shopping can lead to mindless or even rushed, frantic purchases that drive up costs and don’t align with your health and fitness goals. I’m sure you’ve been there: Your fridge is empty and you’re pressed for time, so you rush to the closest store and just start tossing items in the cart. You don’t look for items on sale,...
