🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: MEET LEAH! 🌟

With 12 years of CrossFit under her belt, Leah knows a thing or two about what makes this community special! 💪

🏥 What do you do?
I’m a home health nurse.

🔥 Why CrossFit?
“I’ve always been an athlete and competitive. I also love lifting weights, so CrossFit seemed like a great fit!”

💪 What has CrossFit done for you?
“CrossFit has enabled me to be strong and confident and improves the way I deal with stress.”

🏆 Favorite movements?
Double-unders & wall balls!

☕ Pre-workout fuel?
Coffee with protein + yogurt.

❤️ Favorite coach?
“I can’t choose! I love them all!”

⏰ Favorite class time?
8:30 AM!

When asked what keeps her coming back, she said it best:
“I love the variety of workouts and the feeling of accomplishment when I’m done, but ultimately the reason I come back day after day is because of the people and the relationships I’ve made over the years.”

And her advice for anyone considering CrossFit?

👉 “Just do it!”
“After 12 years, I have seen every age and ability be successful at CrossFit. There are benefits for everyone.”

We’re so glad to have you as part of the Ground Up Tribe, Leah! 🧡💪

🔥 COACH SPOTLIGHT: SAM 🔥

We’re excited to introduce the newest addition to the Ground Up coaching team! 👏

Sam started CrossFit just 1.5 years ago after feeling like he was in a rut with his usual gym routine. What started as a recommendation from a client turned into something he genuinely looks forward to—and now he’s stepping into a new role as a coach!

One thing we love about Sam’s story is that he knows firsthand what it feels like to be the person walking through the doors for the first time. His advice?

“It’s never a bad time to start.”

You don’t have to be fit, strong, or know what you’re doing before you begin. You just have to take that first step. 💪

We’re excited to have Sam coaching, learning, and growing alongside our Ground Up community!

Give our newest coach a 👋 in the comments and welcome Sam to the team!

P.S. If you see him at 8:30 AM, ask him about his favorite movement… we’re pretty sure you can guess. 😉🏋️‍♂️

COACH SPOTLIGHT: MEET ANGELO

From starting CrossFit in 2017 to becoming a coach in 2018, Angelo has been a huge part of the Ground Up community for years — and now we're excited to introduce him as our new General Manager! 💪

Outside of the gym, Angelo teaches Business classes at Hastings Senior High School, including Personal Finance, Marketing, and Work-Based Learning.

So why did he start CrossFit?

After getting tired of doing the same workout routine and constantly having to figure out what his next workout should be, he decided to give CrossFit a try. He dove straight in — and hasn't looked back!

For Angelo, CrossFit isn't just about what happens inside the gym. It's about being able to say YES to life.

His kids want him to play? Let's go!
Someone wants to climb a mountain? I'm down!
Need help moving? I got you!
Want to play a pickup game? Let's do it!

And what keeps him coming back?

His wife and kids. ❤️

He wants to be able to play with his kids, be there for his family, and help with anything his wife needs.

A few things you should know about Angelo:

🥭 Favorite pre-workout: Dried mango
🪢 Favorite movement: Jump rope — “It's my jam!!!”
😂 Favorite coach: “Can I vote for myself haha”
⏰ Favorite class: 5:30 AM
🏋️ CrossFit: Since 2017
💪 Coaching: Since 2018
📚 Credentials: CCFT-L3 • PN-1

And his advice to anyone thinking about starting their health and fitness journey?

“Everyone starts somewhere, so why not start today?”

We couldn't be more excited to have Angelo stepping into the General Manager role. His experience, passion for CrossFit, and commitment to our community make him a great fit for this next chapter at Ground Up. ❤️

Help us congratulate Angelo on his new role! 👏

❤️ MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Meet one of our amazing members!

When she first walked into the gym, she wasn’t sure CrossFit was for her. She had won a free month, so she figured, why not? What started as a free month quickly became something that changed her life.

“I realized I needed to be able to get off the floor without help. I needed to be able to walk further than a block at a time. I needed help rebuilding my strength and mobility so I could stop missing out on activities.”

Fast forward 1.5 years, and look at what she’s doing now. 💪

She can do stairs.
She can get on the floor — and GET UP!
She can walk her dogs and wear them out. 🐕
She can keep up with her nieces.
She’s more active with her family.
And she completed a 5K, with plans to do another one in November! 🏃‍♀️

Before CrossFit, she says she spent much of her time sitting at home. Now, she’s active, stronger, and constantly discovering new things she can do.

And she credits Coach Tiffani for helping her take that first step. Tiffani met with her one-on-one, walked her through the gym, explained what to expect, and helped calm her nerves about starting. Now? She’s also the coach who pushes her the hardest — and doesn’t let her take the easy way out! 😂

Her favorite class? 8:30 AM.
Her favorite thing about CrossFit? Seeing how far she’s come and watching everyday things get easier.

And her advice to anyone thinking about starting?

“Just do it! If I can do it, anyone can. Don’t worry about not being able to do it or being too out of shape. The coaching staff is awesome and will meet you right where you are. You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll be able to do.”

❤️ CrossFit really is for everyone.

We are so proud of you and everything you’ve accomplished! Here’s to seeing what you do next! 🏋️‍♀️🔥
