A message from Coach Dan:

As a 45-year-old dad, husband, and business owner, I train for a lot of reasons.

This picture one of them.

Someday my kids will be stronger, faster, and fitter than me and Iโ€™m okay with that.

What Iโ€™m not okay with is being the dad who has to say no to the trail run, the hike, the backpacking trip, or helping them build something hard someday.

And honestly, this is something we hear often in intros, goal reviews, and private sessions too:

โ€œ๐˜ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ž๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ ๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ.

So I keep it simple. Pick three of these and don't stop

Eat mostly single-source foods.
Drink very little alcohol.
Move your body with intention every day.
Spend as much time as you can with people you want to be around.

Then, tell us about it:

In a goal review
After class or your session
At the coffee shop
The next time we are running together

I highly recommend the coaches and staff at Woodslawn Fitness! After an extended break due to an injury, I've recently started working out again. The team at Woodslawn has been incredible, helping me find the right path forward and ensuring I avoid any setbacks.I completed the semi-private onramp program, and coaches Chase, Dan, and Jonathan have been fantastic. They know when to hold me back when I push too hard and encourage me when I doubt myself. Having been involved in CrossFit and functional fitness for over 15 years, I can confidently say that Woodslawn has one of the most welcoming and professional environments I've ever experienced.Update 12 months in:Still loving Woodlawn and the coaches here. I can honestly say my core is stronger than it had been in close to 20 years with the focus in the strength and conditioning classes. This has led to strength and quality of life improvements across the board!

Meet Coach Jonathan

He holds certificates both in CrossFit and Precision Nutrition, is a Pain-Free Performance Specialist, and always investing in learning beyond the floor. He also authored an article for CrossFit HQโ€™s The Professional Coach on the parallels between military leadership and coaching. Jonathan believes great coaching starts with curiosity, consistency, and helping people move and feel better for the long haul.

At Woodslawn, heโ€™s our Operations Manager, runs most of our No Sweat Intro consults, and coaches across SGS, PT, CrossFit, On-Ramp, and Nutrition, making each members experience organized, thoughtful, and fun!

Outside the gym, Jonathan trained for and completed a 50K ultramarathon last year!

Jonathan wore many hats before Woodslawn including:

Desert Shield / Desert Storm veteran
Retired Army Arabic linguist
UC Berkeley (B.A. Arabic Literature) grad
Le Cordon Bleu grad
Owned a Bay Area catering company for 6 years
Co-owns a graphic design company

Thank you for all you do Jonathan, we really appreciate you!

Welcome, Joelle! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Joelle came to us through a referral from one of our amazing members (thank you, Jen M! )

In her intro consult with Coach Jonathan, we learned Joelleโ€™s goal is to build strength + lean muscle and since she actually enjoys strength training, sheโ€™s a perfect fit for our 5-week Small Group Strength On-Ramp.

And bonus points: Coach Jonathan was raving about how much fun he had training her , calling out her friendly, bright personality and saying sheโ€™s already a great match for our small group communityโ€ฆ which Iโ€™m pretty sure you can see in her photo!!

Welcome to Woodslawn, Joelle, we canโ€™t wait to watch your strength grow!

Message from Coach Dan:

44 was AMAZING.
45 is going to be even better.

Iโ€™m still strongโ€ฆ but results take more intention now.
Not more intensity, more intention.

I still train the same way (strength + CrossFit + endurance)โ€ฆ
โ€ฆbut recovery and body comp come down to one thing:

Nutrition.

At 45, โ€œbeing activeโ€ doesnโ€™t cancel out poor food choices or the sneaky evening liquid ones.

Read that again!

What actually works for me:

โœ… intentional eating (especially protein)
โœ… intentional drinking (how often + how much)
โœ… moving daily, even if itโ€™s simple

Itโ€™s not easy. And itโ€™s not supposed to be.

But for my future self?
Worth it.

SUGARWOD CHALLENGE โ€” STARTED YESTERDAY!

If you know Shasta you know she loves a check-box style challenge!!

If the last two years showed us anything, itโ€™s this: you too, love a good commitment + accountability challenge.

So for March, we've built a challenge around one simple idea:

โ€œWe canโ€™t celebrate your wins if you donโ€™t log them.โ€

How you earn points (3 categories):
โœ… Log your workouts
๐Ÿ‘Š Fist bump your people
๐Ÿ’ฌ Drop a quick comment on your classmatesโ€™ amazingness

Thatโ€™s it. Simple. Tons of accountability and support.

The rules (because we have to):

๐Ÿ‘‹Workouts must be completed in the gym (unless SugarWOD says otherwise).
๐Ÿ‘Logs, fist bumps, and comments only count during March.
โ“Details + clarifications live on the announcement board, in SugarWOD, on social, and in our weekly emails.

Weekly shoutouts + end-of-month winners:
Each week weโ€™ll recognize top athletes in the email, on SugarWOD, on social, and on the whiteboard.

And at the end of March?
Weโ€™ll crown winners in each category (yes, we have a tie-break plan)โ€ฆ and theyโ€™ll win something super AMAZING. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Meet Coach Tyler

Tyler is a Physical Therapist (7 years) who owns his very own clinic inside Woodslawn, the mind behind our weekly CrossFit programming (4 years), and one heck of a hype man, often found fist bumping and high-fiving you the second you finish a workout.

With 11 years as a personal trainer, 10 years as a CrossFit athlete, and 8 years coaching CrossFit (plus his CrossFit L2, USA Weightlifting L1, and additional training in working with pregnant + postpartum athletes), Tyler brings a rare mix of expertise: performance, coaching, and keeping bodies moving well for the long haul.

Fun fact for 2026: Tylerโ€™s goal is to complete a triathlon by summer, and heโ€™s already strategizing how to keep at least three strength/CrossFit sessions per week in the mix to stay healthy, strong, and durable while he builds endurance.

Thanks for all you do Coach/Dr. Ty, we appreciate you!

Welcome, Ann!

Ann joined us through our 5-week CrossFit On-Ramp, which includes weekly 1:1 sessions plus a curated class plan built by her coach, Anna, making sure she felt confident with the movement patterns and knew exactly how to leverage our CrossFit program to support her goals.

๐Ÿฅ… And Annโ€™s goal, which we learned in her No Sweat Intro, is a good one:

๐Ÿ”๏ธ Sheโ€™s summited Mt. Hood multiple timesโ€ฆ and wants another shot at it this May / summer. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Youโ€™ll see Ann in our early morning and weekend classes. Make sure to say HI!

Welcome, Ann, we canโ€™t wait to see the mountains you climb next!
