Congrats to Julie and Kenzie on completing Grandma’s Marathon this weekend! 🎉

26.2 miles is no small feat. We’re proud of the work you both put in to get to the finish line and celebrate this accomplishment with you. 👏🏃‍♀️🏅

And Kenzie isn’t done yet. We’ll continue cheering her on as she trains for Ironman Wisconsin this September. Let’s go! 💪🔥

A glimpse into personal training for hockey performance. 🏒

Hockey isn’t just about skating speed. It’s about producing force, controlling force, and transferring force.

This is a small glimpse into some of the work Lauren and I have been doing to improve power, stability, and rotational strength for a more explosive shot and better performance on the ice.

🏒 Copenhagen plank with DB rotation to build core stability and rotational control.
🏒 Single-leg lateral Superman jumps with a pause to develop balance, deceleration, and force absorption.
🏒 Rotational landmine clean to press to train powerful hip rotation and full-body force transfer.

The goal isn’t just to get stronger in the gym. It’s to build qualities that transfer directly to the demands of hockey and help her perform at a higher level when the season starts.

Excited to see it pay off this season. 💪

Today was Coach Addison’s last day at EffectUs Athletics.

We’re grateful for the time he spent with our community and the impact he made along the way.

Addison brought a calm, positive presence to the gym and had a way of keeping classes lighthearted with plenty of jokes along the way. He built meaningful relationships with members and helped many people gain confidence in themselves and their fitness.
We’ll miss seeing him around the gym and wish him all the best in his next chapter.

Thank you, Addison. 🩶

STILL HERE.

20+ years in fitness.
Building a gym.
Raising a family.
Navigating setbacks.
Helping hundreds of members.

And through it all…

STILL HERE.

This year, Joel qualified for the 2026 CrossFit Games in the Masters 40-44 division, an incredible accomplishment and the result of decades of hard work, consistency, and showing up when it would’ve been easier not to.

But this shirt is about more than Joel making the Games.

It’s about everyone who continues to show up, put in the work, and keep moving forward.

Different challenges. Different journeys. Same mindset.

STILL HERE.

Pre-order your shirt by emailing [email protected].

Stay tuned for details on a community celebration when Joel returns from the Games.

“Start the Chainsaw.”

One of the things great coaches do is find that one cue that makes everything click. They take complex movements and make them simple.

In this clip, Coach Addison is teaching the hang dumbbell sn**ch and using a cue everyone can understand: drive off the opposite leg like you’re starting a chainsaw or lawn mower.

Not just telling people what to do, but helping them understand how to do it.

Whether you’re learning a new movement, chasing a PR, or just trying to move better, the right cue at the right time can make all the difference.

🚨 NOW HIRING: COACH / PERSONAL TRAINER 🚨

Can you teach a squat, celebrate a PR, remember someone’s dog’s name, and make a room full of people feel seen?

If so, keep reading.

EffectUs Athletics is looking for someone who:
✅ Brings energy to early mornings and enthusiasm to every class
✅ Encourages people through challenging workouts and celebrates their wins
✅ Creates meaningful, lasting relationships with members
✅ Fosters a welcoming environment where everyone feels they belong
✅ Communicates clearly and leads with confidence
✅ Embraces feedback and never stops learning

Coaching experience is needed, but attitude, character, and a willingness to learn matter most.

💥Memorial Day Murph 💥
This past Friday, more than 100 members of our EffectUs community showed up and put in the work together.

Today, we pause to remember that Murph is more than a workout. It is an opportunity to honor and reflect on the courage, service, and ultimate sacrifice made by so many men and women who gave everything for others.

We are grateful for those who served and for the freedoms we enjoy because of them.

From our EffectUs family to yours, we hope everyone has a meaningful Memorial Day and a wonderful day spent with the people around you.

Meet Coach Tim!

I found CrossFit in 2014 and as an ex-college athlete, it grabbed me immediately. I started coaching just two years later and haven’t looked back since. What pulled me toward coaching was simple: I love seeing people grow stronger, not just physically, but mentally, and watching that confidence spill into other areas of their life. There is something unique about the CrossFit community that you just don’t find in a lot of places, and being part of that at EffectUs every day is something I don’t take for granted. My coaching style is built on meeting people where they are, pushing them with intention, and supporting them on their fitness adventure. My favorite workouts are anything with pull-ups, cleans, and rope climbs. Outside the gym I’m spending time with the family, and when I’m not chasing my kids around you’ll find me on a soccer field or sneaking in a round of golf.
