Our 2026 In-House Competition is in the books and was SO FUN!!! We’ve done this eight (nine?) years now, which means there were so many OGs participating alongside CrossFit rookies, which also means there was an extraordinary amount of support, admiration, inspiration, and motivation from each athlete towards each other. And, without a doubt, from gym owner towards each and every participant.

I don’t take it lightly that once someone has agreed (sometimes reluctantly) to participate in this yearly event, that it’s my responsibility to continue to prove to everyone that doing scary, challenging, or difficult things is not only rewarding, but can be fun. Every year, the one thing I find myself asking everyone afterwards is, β€œdid you have fun?” and hearing β€œyes” is so much more important to me than crowning winners (which is why we keep the stakes low with our β€œHulk” Amazon trophies πŸ˜‚)

The podium finishers do deserve a shout out though! Congratulations to all of you!!! You fought with integrity and camaraderie all day, and it paid off. ALL teams really had what it took, which is part of what always makes this so fun! You all made the podium finishers earn their spots, so I hope you’re all proud of yourselves.

Up next: Holiday Party followed by The 2027 Open! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜¬πŸ’ͺ🏽

WE’RE BAAAAAACCCCKKKK!!!! Our one and only Kristi B. is jump starting the return of our Member Spotlight! And what an inspiring woman to do so!

What I remember about Kristi’s beginnings at Sharp Edge was that she was encouraged by a good friend of hers to get CrossFit. She dropped into a class with her friend, and I can’t say whether she seemed to love it or hate it that day because I wasn’t there. Knowing Kristi as I do now, I bet she said something like this to her friend after class, β€œThat was awful. I hated that. Fine, I’ll sign up.”

We are now over a year into her CrossFit journey and she is one of the most dedicated and consistent athletes at the gym. She’s a loyal 6:15am’er, which means she’s here to work, but also have a good time (with an emphasis on have a good time - IYKYK). She never complains (audibly, I think she does out of earshot), but no matter what she’s asked to do, she does it - she’ll try anything. A coach’s dream.

She texted me a story one day that brought me I think as much joy as it brought her. Read her story on page 9 of this insta post. Her story will help you understand just how hard working Kristi is.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kristi is an inspiration to myself, the other coaches, and the people in class with her. Her work ethic is matched only by her kindness. She’s someone who when you see she’s signed up for class, you know you’ll have a friend in class.

We are so lucky your friend brought you to Sharp Edge a year ago, Kristi. And even luckier you chose to stay. Keep doing what you’re doing. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish in year 2.

Another killer summer squat cycle wrapped up last week and this year did not disappoint! Every year post-Murph we spend our summer at Sharp Edge doing a squat cycle because who doesn’t want to show off thick legs and a big b***y?! Sharp Edgers were full of PRs, as always! And, for those of you who didn’t PR, not all programs need to end in a PR for you to have gotten stronger and fitter. You put in the work! I’m proud of you all for showing up and working hard. Now let’s get ready for our in-house competition!!! πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ˜‰

Reminder that our Cookbook Cookout is TONIGHT from 4-7 PM at the gym backyard and it’s not too late to sign up! πŸ‹πŸ₯—πŸͺ

Pick a recipe from one of the cookbooks at the front desk, make it, and bring it to share! No need to buy the cookbook, just snap a photo of the recipe and claim it with a Post-it note.

Current menu is already looking VERY good:
- Lemony Celery Chickpea Salad
- Lemon Cornmeal Scones
- Sesame Heirloom Tomato Salad
- Shredded Brussels Sprouts White Pizza
- Spring Sheet Pan with Baked Feta
- Zucchini Lemon Pasta
- Vegan Chocolate Banana Bread
- Summer Fruit Cobbler

- Game-Day Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Not a cook? No time to check out these cookbooks? Still come! Bring a beverage to share. πŸ₯‚

Please make enough for about 6 people to try so everyone gets a taste of a few different dishes.

Honestly this is just an excuse to eat good food and hang out with gym friends outside of burpees!

The Sharp Edge Run Club kicked off with a perfect, brisk run this morning! Our run club leader Matthew reminded us how lucky we are to have miles of trail right on our lake with beautiful views of the Chicago skyline, so we were all extra motivated to run with friends and enjoy the views we so often take for granted.

Just want to give a special thank you to for initiating this run club and sharing your joy of running with all of us. I know you’ve inspired many of us as we watch your running progress, feats, and successes via social media, but I think sharing this with us in person gives us a whole new level of inspiration.

All are welcome! So join us next Sunday at 8am at Dempster St Beach for another fun run!

This year for the CrossFit Open, we decided to make it about more than just fitness. While the Open inherently brings the CrossFit community together, we decided to expand that community beyond our doors, and do these workouts for something a little bigger (and cuter) than ourselves.

After adopting the absolute sweetest Malinois from our local shelter, I decided what better way to give back to the shelter that brought me so much joy, than by raising some money for them during the 2026 CrossFit Open this year. And since we have a gym full of dog (and cat!) lovers, this was no hard sell.

I am so proud to announce that we raised about $1800 for ! 🐢 🐱 And we’ve been having so much fun and wearing the coolest shirts doing it!

Two more workouts to go in this Open, and I’m already SO proud of everyone participating! Good luck to our teams!
