A Place to Gather: Community Fellowship This Sunday

Our hearts have been incredibly heavy this week, and if there is one thing we know, it is that no one should have to carry this kind of grief alone.

This coming Sunday, September 13th, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, we want to open our doors and offer a quiet, safe space for our neighbors to simply come in, sit down, and be together.

We are pulling all of our tables together into one big family dinner. There are no assigned tables and no expectations—just a place to find comfort, share a conversation, and lean on one another.

The pizza is completely free, and there is absolutely no charge to join us.

Before we close the evening, we will gather for a brief word of prayer to lift up our community and the families who are hurting so deeply.

Please come as you are, whether you need to talk, cry, or just sit in a room full of people who care about you. We live here alongside you, we love this neighborhood, and we are going to get through this darkness together. We hope to see you this Sunday.

BUILT DIFFERENT

This workout meant so much more than just the reps, the weight, or the time on the clock.

This was our first Labor Day together inside the walls of Rua—walls that were built through hard work, sacrifice, uncertainty, and a whole lot of people who refused to give up. Watching our members push through this workout alongside one another was a reminder of exactly why we created this place.

Rua isn’t just a gym. It’s a community of people who show up, work hard, support each other, and keep going when things get uncomfortable.

That is what it means to be Built Different.

We want this to become a Rua tradition—a workout we come back to every Labor Day. Each year, we’ll get to see how much stronger we’ve become, how much our community has grown, and how far we’ve come together.

The first one will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Same workout. Same community. Stronger every year.

Four incredible athletes took on the Coalition West Town Throwdown, and two of them proudly represented Rua!

We are so proud of our Rua athletes. They lead by example every day, and their hard work, dedication, and determination are admired by everyone who trains alongside them.

A huge shoutout to their amazing partners as well! They may not train at Rua, but we loved cheering them on and watching all four athletes give it everything they had.

Strong athletes. Incredible people. We’re proud of all four of you! 💪

A message to our community.

Hearts are heavy across our neighborhood today. The tragic loss of an innocent child has left us all deeply shaken, heartbroken, and searching for words.

In times of unimaginable darkness, we are reminded of a fundamental truth: our children are our most precious, vital, and vulnerable treasures. They are the heart of our community, and they must always be our most protected class.

Now, more than ever, we need to lean on one another. We must watch out for one another, check in on our neighbors, and actively look after the little ones around us.

Let’s lead with kindness, choose love over indifference, and fiercely protect the safety and well-being of every child in our neighborhood.

We are here with you, and we will get through this grief together.

Take care of each other.

A new 9-week Complete Training starts Monday, August 31!

CompTrain is the programming we follow at CrossFit Rua, and this cycle is all about building strength, developing power, and putting your progress to the test.

BRING A FRIEND DAYS — SEPTEMBER 16 & 22

Bring someone who has been wanting to try CrossFit and let them experience a day at Rua!

WEEK 8: TEST WEEK

We’ll test one-rep maxes in:

Competitors will also test either the split jerk or push jerk.

🎶 THE RUA WEEKLY LINEUP 🎶

If you’ve been wondering why the vibe at CrossFit Rua changes a little every day… there’s a method to the madness. 😜

Our Complete Training programming has a purpose behind each day of the week — so we decided the music should match the mission.

🤘 METAL MONDAY — Muscular Monday
We’re starting the week STRONG. Strength-focused work deserves heavy weights and even heavier music. Turn it up.

⚡ TECHNO TUESDAY — Target Tuesday
Today we have a target, and usually your lungs are involved. 😂 Cardio, conditioning and faster-paced work paired with beats that keep you moving.

🎲 WILDCARD WEDNESDAY — Well-Rounded Wednesday
A little bit of everything in the workout means a little bit of everything on the speakers. Rock? Rap? Country? Pop? Old school? Anything goes.

📼 THROWBACK THURSDAY — Threshold Thursday
Longer workouts. Chippers. Grinders. The kind where you have to settle in and KEEP MOVING. Good thing you’ll know every word to the songs getting you through it.

🔥 FAVORITES FRIDAY — Forever Athlete Friday
This one is about YOU. Training for life, staying capable and remembering that the athlete in you doesn’t have an expiration date. And what better way to finish the week than with the songs our Rua crew loves most?

Different stimulus.
Different music.
Same community.
Same goal.

Show up. Turn it up. Get to work.

Welcome to a week at CrossFit Rua. 🤘🔥
