NEW BLOG ALERT 🚨

Marathon and half marathon training is often approached with a simple mindset: run more miles and hope for better results. While consistency matters, performance improvements do not come from mileage alone. Many runners find themselves stuck at the same pace year after year, dealing with nagging injuries, fatigue, or uncertainty about whether they are training correctly. Coaching and customized training remove the guesswork and replace it with intentional structure, strategic progression, and adaptability, which are key factors in achieving faster and more sustainable race performances.

This could be your first class!

Natalie just completed her first official workout at Contender CrossFit and she absolutely crushed it. 💪 But what matters most is not the workout. It is the courage it took to walk through the door and start.

As a new year approaches, so many people are thinking about feeling stronger, healthier, and more confident.

Yet the hardest part is often the beginning. Walking into a gym, not knowing anyone, wondering if you belong or if you can really do this.

At Contender CrossFit, no one starts alone. ❤️

Before joining class, Natalie worked one on one with one of our expert coaches through our Kickstart Program. She learned the movements, built confidence, and discovered she was capable all along.

This is what we believe in.
Support over pressure.
Progress over perfection.
Community over comparison.

If starting your fitness journey has been on your heart, especially with the new year coming up, know this. You do not have to do it alone. Your first step can be a simple conversation. Book your FREE No Sweat Intro using the link below. We would love to walk this journey with you!

CERTIFICATE DAY — Celebrating November's Level Ups! 🌟

Congratulations to all the Contenders who leveled up in November! We are so proud of each of you for hitting your goals and pushing your limits. 💪

At Contender CrossFit, we follow the Level Method programming, a comprehensive fitness system that guides athletes through every stage of proficiency. Levels are color-coded, from beginners to elite athletes, giving tailored workouts and clear progression pathways. ⭐

Each month, we focus on two or three assessments to track progress and aim to surpass our previous achievements. In November, we focused on Upper Body Push and Upper/Lower Endurance assessments. 🤩

Certificate Day happens on the first Tuesday after our assessments, giving us a chance to celebrate every accomplishment. If you leveled up and couldn’t make it to class, please let a coach know so we can make sure you receive your certificate. Every achievement deserves recognition! 😄

As we move into December, remember it’s a transition month — but we aren’t slowing down! Next week, we’ll be introducing new assessments we haven’t done before, giving everyone a fresh challenge and a chance to keep leveling up.

Keep up the amazing work, Contenders! Your progress is proof of your consistency, effort, and determination. Let’s finish the year strong and keep supporting each other as we reach new heights together! 💥
