This could be your first class!

Tina just finished her first official workout at Contender CrossFit and she crushed it. 💪

But here’s the truth: she didn’t start because she was already “fit.” She started because she was ready to try.

No matter your age, your background, or your current fitness level—everyone starts somewhere. And for most people, the hardest part isn’t the workout… it’s walking through the door for the first time.

Not knowing what to expect.
Not knowing if you’ll be able to keep up.
Not knowing if you belong.

That’s exactly why Tina began with our Kickstart Program.

Before jumping into group classes, she worked one-on-one with a coach. She learned the basics, built confidence, and moved at a pace that worked for her.

No pressure. No judgment. Just progress.

That’s what we’re about:
Meeting you where you are.
Building you up step by step.
And helping you realize you’re capable of more than you think.

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to start—this is it.

You don’t need to be in shape first.
You don’t need experience.
You just need to take the first step.

🚨 BIG NEWS FROM OUR GYM 🚨

We’re beyond proud to announce that three of our athletes have officially qualified for the CrossFit Semifinals:

🔥 Joaquin Dionio
🔥 Sebastian Banda
🔥 Meghan Nichols

This is a massive accomplishment in the world of CrossFit.

To get here, these athletes had to battle through the CrossFit Open and then advance through the CrossFit Quarterfinals, finishing among the top 2,000 athletes in the world in their divisions. Out of hundreds of thousands who start the season, only a small percentage make it this far.

This stage represents the top tier of competitive fitness—where the fittest athletes on earth fight for a shot at the CrossFit Games.

💥 What’s next? Semifinals.

They’ll now go head-to-head with elite athletes from around the world, taking on some of the toughest programming of the season. Only the very best will advance—but earning a spot here already places them among the elite in the sport.

This didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of:
• Early mornings & late nights
• Relentless discipline
• Countless hours of training
• And a mindset that refuses to quit

Let’s show them some love as they prepare for the next stage 💪 We’re just getting started.

Strong starts here!

Big Bench Press PR for Richard 🔥

This came from consistency, patience, and putting in the work even when it felt tough. That is what real progress looks like.

Strength training is for everyone. It does not matter your age, experience, or where you are starting. You do not need to be strong to begin. You just need to begin.

We focus on helping people build real strength, move with confidence, and feel better in their everyday lives. One step at a time, with a plan that fits you.

Richard hit a PR, but this is just part of the journey. There is always more to build.

If you are ready to see what you are capable of, we are here to help. Book your FREE No Sweat Intro today and let’s build your plan. 💪

WELCOME COACH JOAQUIN 💪

We’re excited to introduce Joaquin Cordero as a Personal Trainer at Contender CrossFit. Welcome to the team, Coach Joaquin! 💪

Joaquin’s journey into fitness started with preparing for the military - pushing himself to be in the best shape possible. From there, he found powerlifting and became driven to constantly improve his strength and performance.

What he loves most about coaching is helping people achieve goals they once thought were out of reach! 🤩

His coaching “superpower” is his experience through every stage (being underweight, overweight, and in peak condition) allowing him to truly understand where people are starting and how to help them move forward! 🙌🏼

Favorite movement: Squats (he actually looks forward to leg day 😅)

Personal Training at Contender CrossFit is growing! Whether your goal is sport performance, general fitness, or hitting a specific deadline, Personal Training is designed to meet you where you are and build a plan around YOU!

If you’re ready for that next step, Joaquin’s your guy! Message us to get started. 👊🏼

This is what progress looks like!

First Ring Muscle-Up for Jorge! This didn’t happen by accident. It didn’t happen overnight either.

At Contender CrossFit, we take the time to understand what each member is working toward and build a path to get there. For some, that starts with never touching a pair of rings. Step by step, we develop the strength, technique, and confidence needed to reach movements like this.

This is exactly where Level Method programming comes in. Instead of guessing or following a one-size-fits-all plan, every athlete progresses through clearly defined levels across different skills and strength categories. You always know where you are, what you’re working on, and what’s next.

So while this is a huge win, it’s not the finish line. There’s always another level to unlock, another goal to chase, and more progress ahead.

If you’re ready to start your own journey, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Book your FREE No Sweat Intro today and let’s build your plan. 💪
