Meet Robbie. 💪

Robbie has progressive Muscular Sclerosis. He comes in determined and ready for a challenge every single session. In just a couple of months working with Coach Amy, he's built the strength to stand longer, stand taller, and keep his balance.

**This is what we're all about: independence and longevity.**

MS doesn't define what you can do—it's just another challenge to work around. Robbie is proof that you can build strength, improve balance, and enhance your quality of life. And we guarantee you'll have fun and be supported doing it.

We'd love to create a community for people with MS to work out together. If you're interested in joining a group dedicated to building strength and supporting each other, **DM us HERE!**

Don't let MS hold you back. You're stronger than you think. 💚

Think strength training will hurt your running? Think again. 🏃‍♂️💪
In 2024 our athlete ran: 51:50 (16:40 pace)
In 2025 after 1 year of 💚 CrossFit and Nutrition coaching: 36:52 (11:51 pace)
That's a 15-minute improvement on the same 5K course after a year of CrossFit and nutrition coaching.
Let that sink in.
We hear it all the time: "I don't want to lift weights, it'll slow me down" or "CrossFit will make me too bulky to run."
📈 But the data tells a different story.
Building strength, improving mobility, and fueling your body properly doesn't just make you stronger—it makes you FASTER.🏃‍♀️‍➡️
This isn't a fluke. We've got proof. Lots of it.
Your running doesn't suffer when you strength train. It thrives. Ready to see what you're capable of?💪

𝟱 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 💪⬇️

1️⃣ 𝗘𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 + 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝘀
Aim for 20–30g protein with carbs to rebuild muscle and replenish energy.

2️⃣ 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 + 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗲𝘀
Water plus sodium, potassium, and magnesium supports muscle function and reduces soreness.

3️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝘀𝗹𝗲𝗲𝗽
Most muscle repair happens while you sleep—nutrition supports this process.

4️⃣ 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆
Walk and stretch - staying active will help reduce soreness.

5️⃣ 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿-𝗲𝗮𝘁
Consistently under-fueling keeps you sore and slows recovery.

Train hard. Recover smarter.

February Member Spotlight: George 🔥

Meet George—local firefighter, veteran, and absolute legend at CUU! George embodies everything we love about our community: a heart of gold, always ready to lend a helping hand, and constantly inspiring those around him with his dedication and humility.

What makes George truly special? He's receptive to coaching, works tirelessly on perfecting his form, and isn't afraid to tackle new movements (hello, Toes to Bar!). He's crushing it not just in his age group category, but competing with athletes YEARS younger—and often outrunning most of us in the process! 💪

Beyond the PRs and the gains, George is building genuine friendships and making CUU feel like the family it is. His positive attitude and willingness to push himself every single day sets the bar high for all of us.

We're so grateful to have you as part of our team, George. You're an awesome teammate, an incredible athlete, and a true Underdog! Keep showing us how it's done! 🙌

This is what discipline looks like👇

Shoutout to one of our members who absolutely crushes her weekly meal prep! When people talk about "next level goals," THIS is the work behind it.

Here's what you're looking at:
✅ Ground meat prepped and seasoned
✅ Crockpot dinner
✅ Fresh veggie salads ready to go
✅ Roasted vegetables portioned out
✅ Hard-boiled eggs for quick protein
✅ Breakfast options prepped
✅ Protein Snacks
✅ Meals ready for her AND her family

And here's the best part—she does NOT count macros. She uses the plate method which we promote here at CUU. She's built a system that works for her lifestyle, and now it's second nature.

🕐 Time investment? 3 hours on a Sunday.
💪 Payoff? The entire week is handled. No stress, no guessing, no scrambling for healthy options when life gets busy.

This is the consistency that creates real results. It's not about perfection—it's about having a plan and showing up for yourself week after week.

Who else is meal prepping this week? Drop a 💪 in the comments!
