Albany CrossFit

Congratulations to Coach Josh on his performance at the Cranberry Tri-Fest in Lakeville, MA, this past Sunday!

Josh has been putting in serious time preparing for this event, from tailoring his CrossFit training to complement his triathlon goals and accumulating countless swim, bike, and run miles, to taking on shorter races that were once a challenge. We’re so proud of Josh and look forward to seeing him continue to excel in the longer races he has planned.

Josh’s Results:
• 0.9-mile Swim: 28:55 (131st of 210)
• 26.2-mile Bike: 1:33:20 (164th of 212)
• 6.2-mile Run: 57:38 (156th of 206)
• Total Time: 3:09:21 (Transitions: 6:41, 2:42)

Overall, Josh finished 163rd out of 205 competitors, 103rd out of 118 men, and 7th out of 8 men in the 40–44 age group.

Congrats again, Josh! 🙌

Good luck to Coach Josh, who will be competing in the Cranberry Tri-Fest in Lakeville, MA this Sunday, August 23rd!

Last year, Josh took on the sprint triathlon, and this year he’s stepping up to the Olympic course: a 0.9-mile swim, 26.2-mile bike, and 6.2-mile run. He’s been training hard all year, including competing in shorter races to prepare for this one, and we know he’ll do great!

Good luck, Josh! 💪

🥳 We’re excited to welcome Max back to the gym after some time away!

We’ve known Max for just under 11 years now, and she’s always been so much fun to have in classes. She never stops pushing herself in workouts and has always been so kind to her fellow members. We couldn’t be happier to have her back in classes!

Here’s to another 11 years, Max! 🙌

And if you’re a past member who’s been thinking about getting back into CrossFit, we’d love to have you back, too. Text or call 518-459-4444, email [email protected], or slide into our DMs and we’ll help you get started again.

🥳 Let’s all welcome Kevin to Albany CrossFit!

Kevin is living in the area while on a work assignment and will be training with us through the fall. He did a great job in On Ramp and has been working hard in classes ever since. We’re happy to have him as part of our community and look forward to being a part of his CrossFit journey.

Welcome, Kevin! We’re glad to have you with us! 🙌

🥳 Congratulations to Coach Miguel on his awesome performance at the 2026 Crystal Lake Triathlon earlier today!

Miguel trained hard for this event and stepped outside his comfort zone in a huge way. Due to extreme fog on the lake, the swim portion of the event was canceled, and the race was changed to bike and run only. Despite the unexpected change, all his hard work paid off with a strong performance on both the bike and the run.

Race Stats:
• Swim: N/A
• Bike: 1:26:11
• Transition: 1:12
• Run: 24:46

He finished with a total time of 1:52:07, placing 4th in the men’s 25-29 age group, 142nd overall, and 86th out of 95 men.

Congrats again, Miguel, on a job well done! 🙌

Good luck to Coach Miguel, as he races in the Crystal Lake Triathlon tomorrow, Saturday, August 15th!

Miguel has been working hard all year to prepare for this event. He’s taken swimming lessons to improve his technique and become more efficient in the water. He’s also spent countless hours training on his bike and putting in the miles on the road to prepare for the run. Paired with his strength from Barbell Club and fitness from CrossFit, we have no doubt that all his hard work will pay off with a great performance!

The race features a 0.5-mile swim, 18-mile bike, and 3-mile run. The event kicks off at 8:00 AM if you’d like to head out and cheer him on.

Address: Crystal Cove. 38 Old State Rte 66, Averill Park, NY. Park on the grass, NOT at the church.

Good luck, Miguel! 🙌

🥳 Help us welcome Afan to the gym!

Afan joined our community last weekend and has hit the ground running, literally… with burpees and running! He’s been so much fun to coach in class and has already been so supportive of his fellow athletes. We’re looking forward to getting to know Afan better in the weeks ahead and watching him grow as an athlete.

Welcome to the team, Afan! 🙌

Looking for a supportive fitness community of your own? Call or text 518-459-4444 or email [email protected] to get started.

The gates to Shatter Park opened and we stood in awe of the spectacle. However, the laughter quickly turned to screams as Event 1 broke loose from its paddock. We avoided the danger by running away “600m” to safety and fended the beast off with DB snatches and OH lunges.⁣
⁣
The ripples in our water bottles from Event 2’s heavy thumping were worrisome, but Team ACF prevailed, winning the event in our respective divisions.⁣
⁣
Event 3 was a clever girl, offering surprises at every turn. It wasn’t easy fighting off those packs of burpee box jump overs, but we did it. As a bonus, we chucked dinosaur eggs around with ease during the floater event to show our scaly friends why we’re at the top of the food chain.⁣
