CrossFit Commence

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 🌟

Meet one of our Commence moms who knows just how important that one hour in the gym can be.

She’s a stay-at-home mom to three busy kids — Gauge (9), Kora (6), and Eli (almost 2) — and has been doing CrossFit for roughly 8 years! She joined the Commence community a little over two years ago while she was 5 months pregnant with Eli and has been with us ever since.

Her favorite movements? Deadlifts and back squats. 🏋️‍♀️ Give her something that requires a little more upper-body strength, though, and she might feel differently. 😉

But for her, CrossFit is about so much more than the workout.

“I’m a group fitness person for sure. If I’m left to workout on my own, it just won’t happen. My favorite thing about Commence is definitely the community. It’s a place where my whole family is welcome.”

During the school year, you’ll usually find her with the 8:15 crew, and during the summer she makes the switch to 10:45.

And with three kids at home, that hour at Commence is an important one:

“Getting an hour in the gym daily is my biggest form of self care. I know my days are going to be much more productive and my mood is always so much better.”

We love having her AND her family as part of our Commence community. 🫶

🚨 Exciting Announcement!!

CrossFit Commence is now partnered with Honor Your Nutrition 🔥

Training hard is only half the equation. What you eat is doing JUST as much work as what you lift, and most of us are guessing our way through it.

Honor Your Nutrition is our go-to for members who want real coaching, not another app or generic macro calculator. They work with anyone who is serious about eating to support how they train.

Expect them on-site for seminars and member perks down the line. If you’ve been wondering how to actually eat for your training, ask a coach or check the link in our bio.

We offer Foundations sessions upon request? 👀

And Foundations isn’t just for people brand new to CrossFit — current members can request it too!

Foundations includes 3 one-on-one sessions with one of our expert coaches where we can help you learn, practice, or sharpen:

🏋️ Foundational CrossFit movements
🏋️ Olympic lifts like the sn**ch + clean

Foundations gives you dedicated 1:1 coaching to slow things down, ask questions, and build confidence.

Interested in Foundations? Send us a DM and we’ll get you set up!

Huge weekend for our Commence athletes at the The Monster Games 💥

🏆 For the second year in a row, Commence stood on the top of the podium in the Intermediate M/M division as Colby McCasland & Caleb Wenger brought home 1st place!

👏 Pia Pennekamp & Alex Good earned a Top 10 finish in Intermediate F/F, and Timothy Burch finished in the Top 15 in the Masters Individual division after recording five Top 10 event finishes throughout the weekend.

We’re so proud of the work these athletes put in long before competition weekend. If you see them around the gym this week, be sure to congratulate them!

Today was bigger than a workout 💙

We came together to celebrate Disability Awareness Month and honor the incredible adaptive athletes who make Commence a stronger place.

Today’s workout, Hardwired, recognizes the nonprofit that helps make adaptive fitness possible through funding, coaching, and individualized modifications. It was awesome to have KNWA & FOX24 stop by to share the story and spotlight the impact Coach Elisabeth and hardwirednwa are making in our community.

Thank you to every athlete who showed up, cheered loudly, and reminded us that fitness is for everyone.
