KELSEY H-500-VER!!!..
This girl can't stop, won't stop!!! Hard work? No biggie. Out of her comfort zone? Sure! Why not. Tenacious? Abso-freaking-lutely. Strong momma role model? YESSSSS...
Kelsey is all of these things at 51B all day every day. Some might say CrossFit/51B has a way of changing the way we look at things, including ourselves. Kelsey sure is proof of that in so many ways. Intimidated by box jumps? Well, let's work on 'em. Can't do a pullup? Well, let's do the work to get one. Post surgery? Not giving up, just doing what I can where I can. She has the most amazing story and attitude. So freaking proud of you, Kelsey!! Can't wait to see even more of your amazingness in the coming years!

Special shout out to Kohen, our youngest 51B member to hit the 100 WOD milestone (which he achieved in August). Super proud of this kiddo!..
Congrats to everyone who showed up this month. Bring on September!!

250 More COOL POINTS for Roger Dortch !!!..
This guy gets double recognition today. Celebration for his 250th 51B workout and Roger is also our MEMBER MONDAY featured athlete!! ..
First, Roger is the COOLEST, so cool points on this guy just ups his "it" factor...
Roger has been doing CrossFit since 2017, five years before 51B opened their doors. He says he loves "everyone working out together, pushing and supporting each other to do things you never thought you could possibly do!"..
Roger has been a leader in our gym since day one. People see him doing the higher skill movements he is the first to tell and show people how its possible...
Roger's initial goals were to "just get in shape" and "not look like melted ice cream." 😂 As he got stronger, and stayed consistent, he realized he could do things like "kipping pull ups, then toes to bar, then chest to bar, then Olympic lifting."..
Roger says "the goal that got him through the door changed quickly" and that his goals "continue to change." He loves that the "ceiling continues to rise as my body proves I can do more."..
How cool is that?..
Roger is a big fan of the CrossFit Open and cheering on everyone else in the gym. "It is absolutely amazing to watch people do things they’ve never done before. The magic of the Open is real!"..
Roger is also here for the health benefits. "I am motivated to work my tail off so I can continue to live a life, not just be alive. The men in my family tend to develop heart disease and pass before turning 70. So if I am trying to change anything, that’s it." He's also drastically lowered his cholesterol and triglycerides since starting CrossFit and has learned "how to eat and have it fuel my body for repair, recovery and training."..
Congrats, Roger for setting such a great example for all of us! We are so lucky to have you as a part of our gym family!

THE POWER OF COMMUNITY IN FITNESS..
The core philosophy of CrossFit is Community. Why? Because fitness with friends creates a dynamic that can't be replicated...
Check out our Longevity class this morning doing situps AFTER class. ON THEIR OWN. What started out many months ago as Jana Crites working on situps on her own, has blossomed into what Coach Jen calls - after class SITUP CLUB!..
Each week it seems we have a few more join in on the "fun."..
They all say, "I just wouldn't do it on my own." Or "I'd give up too soon" or "I'd convince myself I can't do it."..
Some start on benches if the floor is a struggle at the moment. Its fun watching everyone work their way to the floor after a while. Some folks check it out for several weeks or months before getting the courage to join in...
This is the power of Longevity class. Its the same philosophy with CrossFit. Friendships and fellowship are a huge part of achieving deep health. Arguably, its an X-Factor. Getting in some laughs and going to breakfast regularly also helps.

DOC DONNA's 500TH WORKOUT CELEBRATION!!!..
Coinciding with her almost 4-year anniversary and the accomplishment of SO many more things this past year. Doc has upped her skills and strength adding toes to bar, double unders and that ever-elusive pullup that is coming any day now!..
She has such a great can-do attitude in the gym and is generally up for anything. She's even recruited her son to the gym, how lucky are we? We appreciate having doctors and medical professionals who CrossFit and advocate for the health and wellness side of what we do (in fact, its all we do). Donna talks regularly with her patients about the importance of physical fitness and walks the walk! There isn't any more important mission out there...
I mean I know I want a doctor that CrossFits! The real RX? Deep health. Always has been. We're so lucky to have Donna helping us lead the way! CONGRATS, DOC!

🙌

CrossFit works for everyone because intensity is relative to each person’s physical and mental capacity. When people train near their individual limits, whether they are an elite athlete or an elderly adult, they experience the same core benefits.

The needs of an Olympic athlete and a grandparent differ only in degree, not in kind. One aims for peak performance while the other seeks functional independence, but both need functional movement. Because of this, the foundational program doesn’t change; it is simply scaled.

Everyone does the same workout, scaled to their level.

"The needs of an Olympic athlete and our grandparents differ by degree, not kind." - Coach Glassman, CrossFit Founder..
Grandma (or any of us who may be deconditioned) still need to squat, hinge, push, pull and develop aerobic capacity. It might just be on a different scale and different level of intensity and range of motion...
We train people of all ages and abilities for functional fitness capacity and health. We do it through 1) community (group classes) and coaching (focus on form, then load/skill)...
Doesn't matter where you start on the continuum. You can get healthier and stronger. We can help you see a life you maybe never thought possible. ..
Most of us just want to feel better, live better, sleep better, lose some fat, gain some muscle and feel better "doing life." Energy, stamina, strength are yours for the taking. We'll surround you with a community that will energize you and keep you motivated and coming back...
Imagine a workout routine you look forward to every day. Imagine having smiling faces and support every day. Imagine having that one hour you look forward to...
Ask our members - there is a reason it sticks. It clicks. Even if it never has before. The results speak for themselves...
Our fitness methodology (our workout programming) is focused on developing your metabolic pathways (deep health), but you'd never know it. It just feels like every workout of the day is creative and fun...
The best workout plan is the one you'll stick to. We have a reputation of getting people to "just show up." We celebrate attendance milestones and achievements important to YOU...
All ages and abilities are welcome in CrossFit. We also have a Longevity class for those age 60+ and a Kids program that starts Sept. 1 (message us for details!) ..
If you feel like you're missing something in your life, we could be the ticket. Visit 51bridgescrossfit.com to learn more. We'd love to meet you and hear more about your goals - see if we're a good fit! See you soon!
