FIELD DAY AFTER DARK 2026! 🌙

We ran (5.3K 😅), we rowed, we raced, we burpeed, and we flip cup’d.

The silliest evening with the NCA crew and we’re already counting down to next year.

Tomorrow. 6:00 PM. NCA’s “Field Day After Dark” is almost here 🌙

We’re officially sending summer off with five challenges scattered throughout the 5k course.

The names are your only clues for now. Drop your best guesses for each event in the comments—the rest will be revealed at athlete briefing! Check-in starts at 5:45 pm!

Grab your partner, plan your strategy and prepare to earn your custom NCA Field Day bandana. Bonus points for matching outfits 👯

Not signed up yet? You have until 4:00 PM tomorrow to get in through the NCA app. No partner yet? Sign up anyway, we’ll help with the matchmaking.

Keep an eye on your inbox, texts and our social feed for any final information and Strava route before the event.

See you tomorrow 😎

This is the good sh*t! Lifting heavier, learning new things, and doing things you haven’t been able to do in years.

We care A LOT about writing great workouts. We care just as much about making NCA a place where people feel comfortable, get real coaching, and keep making progress.

Messages like this will never get old 🤘

LOCAL 🧼🤝 LOCAL

We’re VERY excited to officially be partnering with another local, woman-owned small business LITTLE SALMON for NCA’s hand soap and cleaning supplies! 🫧

If you haven’t checked them out yet, Little Salmon is a Buffalo-based low-waste refill shop focused on making everyday essentials easily sustainable. Instead of buying a brand new bottle every time you run out, containers are refilled and reused, cutting down on a whole lot of unnecessary single-use plastic.

Our new refillable hand soap bottles are officially in the gym, with cleaning supplies joining the rotation soon too. When we’re running low, the containers head back to Little Salmon to be sanitized and filled again. ♻️

We go through A LOT of soap and cleaning products keeping this place clean, so finding a way to create a little less waste while also keeping those supporting our fellow local small-business community? 10/10 🌎🤝

Give them a follow & check out their shop, right on Elmwood!

Summer isn’t going out quietly….NCA FIELD DAY IS BACK: AFTER DARK 🌙

Friday, August 28 @ 6:00 PM

We’re closing out summer with a partner 5K through the West Side, featuring a weird little NCA challenge at every kilometer. Expect a lotta fun fitness, some good old fashion nonsense, and a choose-your-own-adventure hydration station waiting at the finish 🍻

This is not about running the world’s fastest 5K. It’s about finding a partner and completing whatever challenges we place in your path.

Stick around afterward for drinks, hangs and a potential co****le tournament AND every participant gets a custom NCA Field Day bandana (which is objectively better than another T-shirt)

Open to members and nonmembers. Sign up with a partner or register solo and we’ll handle the matchmaking!

Registration is LIVE in the NCA app and through the link in our bio 🤘

A very special Happy Birthday to our very own Coach Matt!! 🎉

We are in awe of your truly unmatched attention to detail both in and outside of NCA (complimentary) and the never-ending depth of your niche nerd interests (derogatory) 🤓

Hope 35 is the best one yet!! 🍻

SUNDAY SPECIALTIES 🌶️🔥

A lil’ extra strength & technique, a lil’ extra mobility & recovery, and a (lot) of extra engine building.

Swipe through for our upcoming August Sunday morning lineup featuring Barbell Club, Power Flow Yoga, and Fitness Racing Training!

Both Power Flow Yoga and Barbell Club are included with all Unlimited and Punchcard memberships.

Fitness Racing Training requires program enrollment or a specialty drop-in, which are both available directly through the NCA app.

Check the dates, pick your poison, and reserve your spot 🤘

SUMMER CYCLE #2 IS HERE ☀️

We’re still riding high from last night’s 5-Year Anniversary celebration and we’re ready to keep building on the absolutely insane momentum the NCA crew created in the first half of summer.

New progressive strength cycle. Same 11/10 crew. Let’s get to work 🤘

Reminder: Come celebrate 5 years of NCA with us tomorrow night! 🎉
