When Russ first walked through our doors, he didn’t know exactly where the journey would take him. He just knew he wanted more for himself.

Since then, he has lost weight, gained muscle, and built the strength and skills to check off goals he once had: a bar muscle-up, double unders, and a deadlift PR. More than that, he’s built confidence, consistency, and real momentum.

As Russ gets ready for his next chapter, we’re proud of the work he put in and the progress he earned. Results like this don’t happen by accident. They come from coaching, structure, and a community that cares about your goals.

At Contender CrossFit, we help you build toward what matters to you. If you’re ready to start your own journey, book a No Sweat Intro using the link below and let’s talk about your goals.

Skills aren't built in the middle of a high-intensity workout; they’re built in the quiet moments of focused practice. 📈

Personal Training is the best way to get that "extra credit" in. Whether it’s:

⭐Refining Open skills like we're doing here.

⭐Working through a mobility plateau.

⭐Building a foundation as a total beginner.

We meet you exactly where you are.

Congratulations to our Athlete of the Month, Thad! 🎉

From the moment Thad joined Contender, he has been a consistent and unforgettable part of our 7AM crew. You definitely cannot miss him. His outgoing personality and positive energy light up the gym every morning.

At 70 years young, Thad makes CrossFit a priority and shows up with consistency, purpose, and a great attitude. He values the strong community he has built with the 7AM class, and it is clear they value him just as much. His presence makes early mornings better, brighter, and more motivating for everyone.

We truly appreciate the effort, attitude, and energy Thad brings to Contender each day. Keep showing up and leading by example. You embody what Athlete of the Month is all about!

🔥 ROAD TO THE OPEN: 25 DAYS OF JUMP ROPE 🔥

Think you’ve got what it takes before the Open kicks off?

Starting February 2nd, we’re launching another challenge, but this time with Jump Ropes! 👀💪

How It Works:
• MEMBERS ONLY Challenge
• Jump Ropes MUST be done at the gym ONLY & in the presence of a coach
• Log your Single Unders or Double Unders for the day in ChalkItPro
• You must go based on what your Neurological & Core Endurance tag displays
White-Orange = Single Unders
Blue-Black = Double Unders
*Athletes can only level up, not scale down.
*Once you are on the leaderboard, you cannot switch back & forth. You must start what you finish with. For example, if you log in Double Unders, only your Double Unders count. Not your Single Unders.
• Totals will be tracked on a Weekly Leaderboard
• All Jump Rope completed during a class WOD count

📅 Challenge runs through February 26th
🏆 Winners: 2 Male & 2 Female

This is your chance to build capacity, test your grit, and get your engine ready for the Open. Let’s see who’s willing to put in the reps 😤🔥

FEBRUARY 2026 AT CONTENDER CROSSFIT 💥🔥

A new month, steady momentum, and a community that keeps showing up. February at Contender is all about consistency, dialing in the details, and building confidence as we head into the 2026 CrossFit Open.

With assessments, fun events, and extra Open prep happening this month, February is about trusting the work you’ve been putting in and continuing to show up with intention. Progress isn’t built overnight—it’s built through daily effort and commitment.

We’re also taking time to recognize the athletes who continue to set the standard in our gym. This month, we’re proud to celebrate our Athlete of the Month: Thad Slaughter. As a long-time member, Thad’s consistency and dedication are a perfect example of what it means to commit to the process. Be sure to give him a fist bump when you see him on the floor.

February isn’t about perfection—it’s about staying consistent, supporting one another, and preparing to perform when it counts. No matter where you’re at in your journey, you belong here.

Let’s keep the momentum rolling. See you on the floor, Contenders. 💪🔥

REAL FOOD FIRST 🥩🥦

“Eat meats and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar.” That’s not a trend — it’s the first line of World Class Fitness in 100 Words.

Before we talk about workouts, intensity, or PRs… we talk about fuel. Because you can train hard, but if you’re under-fueled, over-snacking, or inconsistent with nutrition:

• Energy drops
• Recovery slows
• Progress stalls

👉 Nutrition coaching helps you turn ‘knowing’ into doing.

It’s not about perfection or restriction — it’s about learning how to fuel your body properly so your fitness actually works for you.

🥗 1-on-1 Nutrition Coaching helps you:
✅ Build sustainable habits with real food
✅ Fuel training for better performance & recovery
✅ Break the on/off cycle with nutrition
✅ Feel stronger, leaner, and more energized

We’re opening 5 spots for new Nutrition Coaching clients this next month.

💬 What’s a “Snack” Intro?
A free, 20-minute, no-pressure chat where we:
• Talk through your current habits & goals
• Explain how coaching works
• Give you one action step you can use immediately

If you’re ready to get your nutrition aligned with your training — this is your sign. Book your FREE “Snack” Intro today using the link below!
