You don’t suffer alone here.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

Same clock.
Same rowers.
Same burn in the legs.

Different paces.
Different goals.
𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁.

This is what 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 looks like.

No headphones.
No mirrors.
Just effort and people next to you doing the same hard thing.

If you’ve been training by yourself and wondering why it’s harder to stay consistent…

This is why.

𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

It can look like this.

Controlled.
Confident.
Smiling at the bottom of a squat.

Fitness isn’t punishment.
It’s 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.

And when it’s built the right way — with coaching, scaling, and intention — it becomes something you actually enjoy.

That’s the difference.

If you’ve been waiting to “get in shape first,” stop.

Start where you are.
We’ll guide the rest.

𝗬𝗼𝘂. 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗵, 𝘆𝗼𝘂.

One week until the Open.

Before you default to:

“I’m not ready.”
“I’ll just watch.”
“I’m not competitive.”

Pause.

The Open here isn’t about winning.

It’s about participation.

Same workout.
Different versions.
Same room.

Nobody’s looking for perfection.
They’re looking for effort.

If you’ve been circling the idea of starting CrossFit —
this is the best time of year to step in.

You won’t get thrown in.
You’ll get coached.

We’ll see you on the floor.

𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆.

The sn**ch isn’t about weight.
It’s about positions.

Balance.
Timing.
Patience under tension.

Some athletes added load.
Some cleaned up footwork.
Some finally felt what “stacked overhead” actually means.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻.

We don’t rush lifts.
We build them.

And that’s exactly why the Open doesn’t scare our members.

They’ve already done the work.

If you’ve been watching from the outside and wondering when to start —
this is a good time.

That mindset keeps people stuck for years.

You don’t need to be ready.

You need coaching.

Bars get adjusted.
Loads get modified.
Movements get progressed.
Standards stay high - ego stays out of it.

This isn’t about being ready.

It’s about stepping in.

If you’ve been watching from the outside wondering if you’d fit —
you would.

Start the conversation. We’ll walk you through it.

Hard effort.
Good people.
Zero posturing.

They just finished a piece on the rower.
Breathing heavy. Laughing anyway.

That’s the environment.

We teach Olympic lifts.
We coach mechanics.
We program with intent.

But none of it matters if the room doesn’t feel right.

Fitness should feel challenging —
not intimidating.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to try something different,
this might be it.

Quick reminder:

Mobility session with Dr. Sam is THIS Saturday at 10AM.

Free.
Educational.
Actually useful.

If you train hard but don’t spend time learning how to take care of your body — this is your chance.

Don’t wait until something hurts.

Evidence that the workout worked.

Fully cooked.
Still happy about it.

If this isn’t your Thursday face, you’re probably sandbagging.

The number is growing...

𝟯𝟯 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻.

Not because they’re chasing a leaderboard —
but because they want to experience this together.

The Open at Fringe is simple:
• Same workouts you’d do anyway
• Built-in scaling
• Extra energy on the floor
• Zero pressure to “perform”

If you’re training here, you already belong in this.

𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗙𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
undefinedAnd some of it is earned.

People getting rushed into workouts.
Movements taught without context.
Intensity applied before understanding.

That’s not how it works at Fringe.

Every new member starts with Elements — because learning how to move matters before worrying about how hard.

You work 1-on-1 with a coach.
You learn the movements, the intent behind them, and how to scale intelligently.
You build confidence before stepping into group classes.

A few things we’re very clear about here:
•Every workout can be adjusted
•Every movement has options
•No one is expected to already “be fit”

The goal isn’t to survive workouts.
It’s to move well, stay healthy, and train in a way that actually fits your life.

CrossFit done well is a long-term solution.
And it starts with thoughtful coaching — not throwing people into the deep end.
