It starts with that moment you might be finishing the workout last. And then it turns into you helping someone else finish. From there, it becomes checking in on your buddy why they missed the class. Next thing you know, you're feeling some serious FOMO on the days you don't come, so you grab an Unlimited Membership just to be there more. You're throwing Bright Spots into the Facebook group. You're ditching old friends for these new friends. You're sticking up for yourself in a tough work enviro...

Have you ever hit that cancel button because you didn't feel like coming? Have you ever been injured and didn't want to burden the coach asking for modifications? Or what about if a workout came up and you couldn't do something on the list, so you cherry-picked the workout? We've all been there. We've all done it. Today we're debunking all those myths, and giving you all the reasons why you should be here anyways. Follow our socials: Facebook: Facebook.com/CrossFitFUNCTION Instagram: @cffunction...

Today we dive into the difference between "RX" and "Scaled" when it comes to your workout results, and why we have taken the directional change with our programming that we did. We initially started this transition in February, and never got a chance to do a rebuttal on why we made these changes. Now that the gym is open again, we've got all the information you need, and then some, to help you better understand what goes on behind the scenes when it comes to our programming, and why we are here ...

In today's episode, we talk all about our newly launching Ambassador Program. When you were new in the gym, do you have that one memory that stands out from someone helping you along during your first group class? They might have shown you where the equipment was, explained the workout in a language you understand, and generally kept you under their wing during the hour? This is an idea we have talked extensively about over the years, and there has never been a better time than now to bring some...

Today's episode is all about what defines CFF at its core. We're going to talk about our Vision, our Mission, and our Core Values. Why we do the things we do, who we want beside us and along for the ride, and what we fall back on when the tough decisions need to be made. These three things are fundamental to any business, it doesn't matter what industry. And these three things usually evolve over the years as a business grows. They most definitely have for us, and with the recent quarantine peri...

We have now re-opened after the Covid-19 lockout, and we felt it was fitting that we reflected on what this past week had brought! We talk briefly about CrossFit HQ's mess this past week and our stance with that. We talk about what 81 days away from the gym did for the tightness of our community. We discussed how our members approached their first week back, and all that came with that as a result. It was a surreal week filled with smiles, laughter, PR's, and sweat. Thank you to everyone who joi...

As always, we dive into the why's and the deeper meaning to things, and we'll leave you with some strategies on how to maneuver your way through this. Just like we said before in previous episodes, don't let fear be the reas...
