From Coach Brady:
“My favorite verse is Romans 15:13 ‘May the God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit’ and this verse has really spoke to me the last handful of years I’ve been coaching because it allows me the opportunity to try and be a light for people within our community!” ✨

What we do here goes far beyond the workout. It’s about showing up, encouraging one another, and building something bigger than ourselves. 💛

Passions Week is Here! ❤️🔥

We’re Eric & Emily Griffith, and this is part of our story…

Jesus used CrossFit—the methodology and the community—to pull us off a path of destruction and into a life of purpose 🙏

We both struggled with alcohol and substance abuse, and then what started as fitness became something so much bigger. It became the catalyst for real, lasting change 💥

That’s why we’re so passionate about what we do. Fitness is just the vehicle—but the mission is people ❤️

Over the last 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of seeing thousands of lives impacted…watching people go from darkness to light 🌅, gaining confidence, strength, and hope along the way 💪

We thank God daily for the opportunity to serve this community—to build people up physically, mentally, and spiritually—so they can walk out their calling ✨

🌅 “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

This is why we do what we do 🙌 Join the Movement - we are hosting Passion workout THIS Saturday & launching Get Strong Saturdays May 2nd (1st Saturdays at Brigade there's a FREE 7am session that includes a community workout & a Devo)!

Fix your eyes. Refocus your heart. 🙏✨
This week, it’s all about alignment—mind, body, and faith. 💪❤️✝️

Happy Birthday to our amazing owner & coach, Emily! 🎉💪

Thank you for building this community, pushing us to be better, and reminding us that strength goes far beyond the gym.

Help us celebrate Emily today! 🎂🎈

Just another day casually carrying the house… 🏠💪

Yoke walks = one of our favorite “odd object” tests of real-world strength. Why? Because life doesn’t come in perfectly balanced barbells 😉

👉 They challenge:
🔥 Total body strength
🔥 Core stability under load
🔥 Posture & resilience
🔥 Mental grit (because yeah… it’s HEAVY 😅)

This is the kind of strength that transfers—on the field, in life, and everywhere in between.

And speaking of strength… this guy is an absolute BEAST repping Chattanooga Rugby 🏉💥

Strong, stable, and built to carry the load—literally.

💥 SO much gratitude for our incredible coaching team 💥

Another CrossFit Open in the books—and we truly couldn’t have done it without YOU ❤️

From last-minute studying of workouts 📋
To breaking down standards & all the little nuances
To cheering us through breakthroughs AND heartbreakers 🥹💪
To warming us up, judging every rep, DJing the vibes 🎶
To setup, breakdown, and those LONG days (5am–7pm 😅)…

You showed up for us in every possible way.

We see the sacrifice. We see the energy. We see the heart.

And we know this is just a piece of your full lives—
From parenting, to firefighting, to your careers and everything in between…
You still pour so much into this community, and it does not go unnoticed 🙌

You are the BEST. And you absolutely crushed another Open at Brigade 🔥

Love, love, LOVE you all!! ❤️

💖 HUGE congratulations to Su-Lin!! 💖

Over the past 12 weeks, Su-Lin has shown what true strength and resilience look like. As a breast cancer survivor, she committed to her Survivor Fitness program—not just to “work out,” but to heal, rebuild, and feel better after treatment. Through the ups and downs that come with a cancer diagnosis, she kept showing up 💪

And the results speak for themselves:
✨ More energy
✨ LESS back pain 🙌
✨ A renewed joy for moving her body in new ways

WOOT WOOT!! 🎉

Su-Lin, your determination is inspiring, and we are so proud of you for choosing yourself and your health every step of the way ❤️

A big THANK YOU to Survivor Fitness for providing such a life-giving program and supportive community 💫

👉 If you or someone you love has faced a cancer diagnosis, we highly encourage you to check out Survivor Fitness with locations in Knoxville, Nashville & Chattanooga. You don’t have to walk this journey alone.

Commit your work, your goals, and your grind to the Lord—and trust Him with the outcome. 🙏💪

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” — Proverbs 16:3

Faith over feelings. Consistency over perfection. He’s in every rep. ✨
