Fall Whole Life Challenge - September 26th - November 6th!

We’re hosting a Whole Life Challenge team this fall, and we want you to play with us!

What if six weeks could change how you feel every day?

The Whole Life Challenge is built around 7 Daily Habits: Nutrition, Exercise, Mobility, Hydration, Sleep, Well-Being, and Reflection. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about building the kind of consistency that actually sticks.

We see what you bring to this gym every single day. This is your chance to take that same energy and apply it to the rest of your life too.

The Challenge runs September 26th through November 6th.

How to join our team:

1. Register through our team link:

https://play.wholelifechallenge.com/affiliates/AlwaysForwardCrossFit?group_id=55078

2. Create your Whole Life Challenge account

3. Complete the registration process

4. Choose your WLC game settings (this info is private): location, height, and weight; your Nutrition Level, sleep amount, and water prescription; and the Quality of Life questions.

For nutrition levels, we’ll only be using Kickstart or Lifestyle. If you’ve played the Whole Life Challenge before, you also have the option to choose Custom.

Once you’re registered, Whole Life Challenge sends you everything you need to get started.

Who’s in? We can’t wait to see what you accomplish!!

Meet the Fuzzy Bumper. Forty-five pounds, been in rotation for years, and it shows. Nobody remembers when the fuzz started, but it’s been through thousands of reps and it’s still standing.

Age: unknown
Resting face: permanently textured
Favorite lift: deadlift
Known for: being the plate everyone reaches for without noticing

Give it up for the Fuzzy Bumper, celebrity of the week!

☀️IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN: KAPS STRENGTH 🕶️

You know what this means, Dennis has been cooking, and the next Kaps Strength Cycle is almost here. So this Tuesday and Thursday we’re testing lifts to see exactly where everyone’s starting from: deadlift, weighted pull-up, farmer carry, back squat, shoulder press, DB bench press, and planks, all logged in SugarWOD.

We’re not maxing out this week, just getting a baseline number on the board for each. A few weeks from now you’re going to look back at what you hit this week and barely recognize it.

If this is your first testing week, don’t sweat it, your coaches will be right there walking you through every lift.

So come to class Tuesday and Thursday and see where you’re starting, because you won’t be there for long. 💪

Kids Class at Always Forward CrossFit! 🦍

Our CrossFit Kids program builds the foundation for a lifetime of fitness, one game at a time! Athletes learn foundational movements like the air squat, deadlift, and shoulder press through age-appropriate coaching, constantly varied workouts, and skill work that grows with them. Every class blends movement, teamwork, and play, because kids learn best (and stick with it longer) when fitness feels fun. From building confidence to developing coordination, balance, and strength, our coaches meet every athlete where they are.

Come try a class and watch your kid fall in love with movement!

Classes Begin This Thursday, 7/9!!
Ages 5-10
Class times: 11:30am-12pm
Every Tuesday and Thursday
Cost is $50 for the first kid, $25 for addition kids in the same family.
