The Official “Community Lift” Tee – Send Nevin to the Games!

Nevin has put in the work, and now he is officially headed to the 2026 Adaptive CrossFit Games! Show your support and our Cedar Rapids gym pride with the limited-edition “Community Lift” t-shirt.
Whether you are throwing down with us on June 20th or just cheering from the sidelines, wearing this shirt means you are directly backing one of the hardest-working athletes on our floor.

The Shirt:
We didn’t skimp on quality. Printed on a premium Bella+Canvas tri-blend, this tee is ridiculously soft, lightweight, and breathable. It has that perfect worn-in feel from day one, making it ideal for surviving a brutal chipper WOD or just wearing on your rest days.

💙♿️ CERTIFIED. COMMITTED. INCLUSIVE. ♿️💙

I’m honored to have renewed my certification as an Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer because creating a space where all athletes can thrive is something I care deeply about.

Fitness should never be limited by ability. Every person deserves the opportunity to move, grow stronger, build confidence, and experience the joy of community.

At CrossFit the Challenge, we welcome athletes of ALL abilities and are committed to meeting people where they are physically, cognitively, and emotionally. Whether you are brand new to fitness, navigating a disability, recovering from injury, or simply looking for a supportive environment — there is a place for you here.

Adaptive and inclusive coaching is not just a certification to me — it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a passion that continues to shape how I coach and serve others.

If you or someone you know has a physical or cognitive disability and has been looking for an inclusive fitness community, I would truly love the opportunity to work with you and help you pursue your goals.

You belong here. 💪❤️

📩 Reach out anytime for questions or to learn more about adaptive training opportunities at CrossFit the Challenge!

🇺🇸 Honoring the Fallen. Remembering the Sacrifice.

Today marked our 15th annual Memorial Day Murph at CrossFit The Challenge, and what an incredibly moving day it was.

Our community showed up in full force to put in the work. We had husbands and wives, fathers and sons, moms and sons, and even two strong pregnant mamas taking on the workout! From 10 years old all the way to 69, every single person poured their heart into it side-by-side.

But today is about so much more than the workout. It is an absolute honor and a profound privilege to take this time to pause, reflect, and remember the brave men and women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We sweat today in deep gratitude for the liberties we get to enjoy every single day.

🙏“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

Thank you to everyone who came out to honor the fallen with us today. We are so incredibly proud of this community. ❤️💙🦅
