This 343 tribute honors the FDNY firefighters who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

As memorial workouts always are, this workout is built to be hard, physically and mentally, on purpose. Every rep is meant to be done with purpose and remembrance, not just pushed through. The difficulty is not incidental. It is a small, deliberate way of acknowledging what those firefighters gave so that we still get to show up today.

Respect the workout. Respect the meaning behind it. And respect the privilege of simply being here to do it, whatever that looks like for you today.

You’ve heard “listen to your body” a hundred times. But has anyone actually explained what that means?

That is exactly what our coach Kaitlyn Ellis is diving into in The Athlete’s Pelvic Floor, a hands on workshop happening right here at 033.

This is not a lecture. You will be moving the whole time, learning how breathing, pressure, tension, and positioning connect to the CrossFit movements you already do every day. Kaitlyn will also cover how training can shift through the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause or menopause, so you can keep doing what you love without training in fear.

September 19th at 10:00 AM. Included for members. $15 for non members.

If your push-ups fall apart halfway down, that does not mean you are too weak to do them. It means you are training at an angle that is too hard for where you are right now.

So stop pulling push-ups out of your program completely. Change the angle instead.

Start with your hands on something high. A box works. A countertop at home works just as well.

Keep your torso rigid the whole way down. Hips do not sag, chest does not lead. Your whole body moves as one piece.

Then you lower the surface as you get stronger. Box to bench. Bench to a bar on the rig that you drop one notch at a time as your position holds.

Same movement. Same muscles. Just a slightly different angle.

That is the entire progression, and it works because you are practicing the actual skill every step of the way instead of waiting until you are “strong enough” to try it.

If push-ups have been the one movement you skip every time they show up in a workout, start here. I would love to know where you are starting from. Comment ANGLE and I will walk you through your next step down.

After 40 you lose muscle every decade whether you feel it or not. The data is not subtle on this one. Strength goes first. Bone density follows. And then one day it is not about the gym at all. It is the stairs. It is getting up off the floor. It is needing a hand with something you used to do without thinking.

Here is what does not get said enough. That decline is not aging. It is disuse.

Muscle still responds at 55. It responds at 65. It responds at 75. It just needs a reason to, and consistent strength work is the reason.

That is why we built Forever Strong. Six weeks, small group, designed for the 55 and over crowd who is tired of being told to take it easy and slow down.

The goal is not to make you a competitor. The goal is strong, capable athletes who stay independent, keep their bone density, and are still doing their own yard work and standing up off the toilet on their in their 70s, 80s and beyond.

If you have ever thought you were too old to start, this is for you.
If you have ever walked past the gym because you were not sure you belonged in there, this one is really for you.

I would love to talk it through with you. Comment below or send me this post and we can figure out together if it is a fit.

Balance is a skill, not a personality trait.

If lunges feel wobbly, that is not a reason to skip them. That is a reason to scale them.

Here are four ways to train the exact same pattern without letting balance be the thing that stops you.

1. Bodyweight split squats
Set your feet and leave them there. Taking the stepping forward and stepping back out of the equation lets you find your center of balance, then drive that back knee down toward the floor or wherever you are comfortable.

2. Add a PVC pipe
Hold it in the opposite hand of your working leg and plant it into the floor. Push into it as much as you need. That is not cheating, that is guidance

3. Grab something sturdy
If the pipe still wobbles, find a rig post or a door frame and hang onto that instead. Same full range of motion, a little more help, none of the wiggle.

4. Rings, TRX, or bands
Step back, create some tension, and use your arms as much as you need to get out of the bottom. This takes balance almost completely out of the equation so your legs can do the work they came to do.

Notice what none of these did. None of them made the exercise easier. They made it accessible.

That is the whole idea behind Forever Strong, our new program for our 55+ community starting this month. Real training, scaled to meet you exactly where you are right now, so you keep the strength and balance that let you live the way you want to live.

If you have been putting off getting started because you were not sure you could keep up, this one was built for you. Comment below or send me this post and we can talk about whether it is the right fit.

Think you can’t get stronger after 55? Think again. Right now might be the best time to get stronger than you have ever been.

Here is what most people do not realize. After 40, we naturally start losing muscle and bone density every single year. The data is not subtle on this one. But here is the good news. Real strength training, done consistently and done right, is one of the most powerful tools we have to slow that down, and even reverse it.

That is exactly why we are so excited to introduce Forever Strong, a brand new 6 week semi-private program at 033, built specifically for our 55+ community and coached by 033 Owner, Tobi.

This is not a bootcamp. It is not a crowded class where you are left to figure things out on your own. It is real, personalized strength coaching, in a small group, built around building the muscle and bone strength that keeps you independent, capable, and strong for everything life still has ahead of you.

Here is what is included:

-Two in-person semi-private sessions each week with Tobi, 45 minutes each.

-Two follow-along workouts you can do on your own time, built with real programming behind them.

-That is four real strength sessions a week, every one with intention.

We are keeping this group small on purpose. We want it to actually count for you.

If you have been waiting for a sign to start strength training, or to get back into it the right way, this is it.

Meet Helen! Helen started working with Tobi in private and semi-private sessions several months ago. She was hesitant about training in a CrossFit gym and whether it would work for her and now Helen can be found inside our walls 3-4 times a week crushing her goals!

Helen is back squatting, deadlifting, and pressing barbells, moving dumbbells confidently, building muscle and increasing her endurance so that she can live the life she loves!

Are you over the age of 50 and looking for a supportive, caring, semi-private place to train? Comment “Helen” below or DM us this post and learn more about what we have to offer!
