Two More Weeks until the Whole Life Challenge!
In just two short weeks, we begin the Whole Life Challenge.
And we hope you’ll join us!

By Saturday the 26th, you’ll be focused on your nutrition, exercise, and sleep. You’ll stretch, hydrate, and try
the week’s Well-Being Practice.
A few days after that, you’ll begin to feel the effects:
More energy.
More living in the present.
And a sense of that you can absolutely own your health.
And in two weeks you’ll feel the secondary effects:
More productivity at work.
More loving at home.
And sleeping like a teenager every night of the week.
And in six weeks, you’ll know what we knew all along:
That you can take control of your health, performance, and happiness.
(And you’ll never go back to the way things were.)

Mark your calendars! The DEXAnalysis van is coming back to Always Forward CrossFit on Thursday, October 1st, from 2PM–7PM.

This year comes with some exciting upgrades. DEXAnalysis has invested in upgrading their DEXA scanner and software, which means your scan report now includes even more detail:
• Detailed visceral fat analysis
• A new color-coded body phantom that visually maps fat and lean tissue throughout your body
• Additional body composition metrics
• Plus all the original data: body composition analysis, body fat %, lean muscle mass, and bone density

Spots are limited, so reserve your scan soon. You can book by scanning the QR code on the flyer or visiting DEXAnalysis.com.

Another installment of Celebrities of AFC!!

Ode to Ol’ Crusty

Battered veteran of a thousand pulls,
scarred flywheel, ancient PM3,
you owe us nothing and give us hell,
the original lung tax, collected daily.

No wifi, no app, no gentle coaching voice,
just the click of the chain, the hiss of the fan,
counting our splits with cold indifference,
one crusty screen judging every plan.

Handle worn smooth by a decade of grip,
monitor foggy but never once wrong,
you are the loudest silence in this gym,
the wheeze that carries the workout along.

So here’s to you, Crusty, unglamorous king,
no mercy, no upgrade, no shame,
long may you rattle and roll and wreck us,
long may you never learn our name.

Happy Labor Day, AFC family!We hope you have a great day off to relax, recharge, and spend time with the people who matt...

Happy Labor Day, AFC family!

We hope you have a great day off to relax, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter most. Monday’s schedule will be modified to give everyone a chance to enjoy the holiday:

7am CrossFit
8am CrossFit

No open gym or additional classes will be held on Monday. We’ll be back to our normal schedule on Tuesday.

Thank you for all your hard work, both in and out of the gym. See you soon! 💚

Fall Whole Life Challenge - September 26th - November 6th!

We’re hosting a Whole Life Challenge team this fall, and we want you to play with us!

What if six weeks could change how you feel every day?

The Whole Life Challenge is built around 7 Daily Habits: Nutrition, Exercise, Mobility, Hydration, Sleep, Well-Being, and Reflection. It’s not about chasing perfection. It’s about building the kind of consistency that actually sticks.

We see what you bring to this gym every single day. This is your chance to take that same energy and apply it to the rest of your life too.

The Challenge runs September 26th through November 6th.

How to join our team:

1. Register through our team link:

https://play.wholelifechallenge.com/affiliates/AlwaysForwardCrossFit?group_id=55078

2. Create your Whole Life Challenge account

3. Complete the registration process

4. Choose your WLC game settings (this info is private): location, height, and weight; your Nutrition Level, sleep amount, and water prescription; and the Quality of Life questions.

For nutrition levels, we’ll only be using Kickstart or Lifestyle. If you’ve played the Whole Life Challenge before, you also have the option to choose Custom.

Once you’re registered, Whole Life Challenge sends you everything you need to get started.

Who’s in? We can’t wait to see what you accomplish!!

Meet the Fuzzy Bumper. Forty-five pounds, been in rotation for years, and it shows. Nobody remembers when the fuzz started, but it’s been through thousands of reps and it’s still standing.

Age: unknown
Resting face: permanently textured
Favorite lift: deadlift
Known for: being the plate everyone reaches for without noticing

Give it up for the Fuzzy Bumper, celebrity of the week!

☀️IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN: KAPS STRENGTH 🕶️

You know what this means, Dennis has been cooking, and the next Kaps Strength Cycle is almost here. So this Tuesday and Thursday we’re testing lifts to see exactly where everyone’s starting from: deadlift, weighted pull-up, farmer carry, back squat, shoulder press, DB bench press, and planks, all logged in SugarWOD.

We’re not maxing out this week, just getting a baseline number on the board for each. A few weeks from now you’re going to look back at what you hit this week and barely recognize it.

If this is your first testing week, don’t sweat it, your coaches will be right there walking you through every lift.

So come to class Tuesday and Thursday and see where you’re starting, because you won’t be there for long. 💪
