🏋️‍♀️ GLSC Weightlifting Challenge! 🏋️‍♂️
Ready to test your strength on the platform?

Join us for our annual GLSC Weightlifting Challenge, a fun, supportive in-house event open to all members. Whether you’re preparing for your first competition or have years of experience under the bar, this is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, hit a PR, and experience the excitement of a weightlifting meet.

Athletes will have:
• 3 attempts at the Sn**ch
• 3 attempts at the Clean & Jerk

We’ll run the event in a traditional meet format with an announcer and platform judge, while keeping the atmosphere encouraging, welcoming, and community-focused.

No weight classes. No pressure. Just a chance to celebrate strength and have fun with your fellow GLSC athletes.

Registration is FREE and available now on WODBoard.

Spots are limited! Sign up here or at the link in the bio!

Join us for a free Learn to Lift & Row Workshop + Bring a Friend Day on Sunday, October 4 at 10:00AM!

This event is open to Polaris members and their friends, and no previous strength training or CrossFit experience is needed. Our coaches will break down the basics of the deadlift and rowing technique in a fun, approachable setting, with plenty of time to practice and get individual coaching.

We’ll also be using the morning to support our local community by collecting donations for the Ballard Food Bank. The event is completely free, but if you’re able, we encourage you to make a donation to help support the work they do in our community.

This will be a social event first and a workout second. Come learn something new, get a workout in, meet some great people, and see what Polaris is all about.

🌟We’re placing an order for a new Polaris tshirt this month, and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

The “Find Your North Star” design was created by Polaris member Bee Bee Fischer . From the topographic lines to the familiar Ballard landmarks, Bee created a design that reflects both our local community and the individual journey each of us is on. We’re incredibly grateful for the creativity and thought she put into this design.

Find Your North Star is discovering what keeps you moving forward. It might be getting stronger, building healthy habits, or simply showing up for yourself.

The map represents our home in Ballard and the community that brings us together. It also reminds us that progress isn’t always a straight line. Every climb and challenge is part of the journey. The star marks Polaris, but it also symbolizes the direction each of us is working toward.

Please complete the pre-order form to reserve a shirt in your preferred size. The form will close on August 14, so be sure to submit your order before the deadline. Link in our bio 🌟
