Burpees are simple… until you put a barbell in the way.

With bar-facing burpees, the goal is to stay controlled and efficient. Get your chest down, bring your feet back underneath you, then use a quick two-foot jump to clear the bar.

The cleaner your movement is, the less energy you waste, especially when the reps start adding up.

Slow it down, learn the movement correctly, then build speed from there.

Save this for the next time bar-facing burpees show up in the workout.

You’re stronger than you were three months ago.

It’s easy to miss progress when you see yourself every day. The weight that used to feel heavy starts moving a little easier. You recover faster. Your technique feels more natural. You walk into workouts with more confidence.

None of it happens overnight.

It comes from showing up week after week, putting in the reps, and slowly building on what you did before.

Sometimes progress isn’t a huge PR or a dramatic transformation. Sometimes it’s simply realizing that something you struggled with a few months ago doesn’t feel so hard anymore.

Take a second and think about where you were three months ago.

What can you do now that you couldn’t do then?

The hardest part of the workout might be walking through the door.

Especially when you’re new.

You might wonder if you’re fit enough, if everyone else is going to be way ahead of you, or if you’ll even know what you’re doing.

That’s what the coaches are here for.

Every workout at Pendulum Fitness can be adjusted to where you’re at right now. You don’t have to show up knowing the movements or being able to keep up with anyone else.

Just get through the door. We’ll help you with the rest.

Best sitting spots in Pasadena ☕️🌳

Sometimes you just need a good place to sit, hang out, get some work done, or people-watch for a little too long.

A few of our picks:

☕️ Peet’s Coffee
🌿 The Huntington
📚 PCC
☕️ Jameson Brown Coffee Roasters

Pasadena has plenty of good spots, but these made the list.

What spot are we missing? 👇

Pendulum Fitness has been part of Pasadena for years, and there’s a reason we’re still here.

We’re one of the top rated gyms in Pasadena and currently the only CrossFit gym in the city. But what’s kept this place going isn’t just the workouts. It’s the community that’s been built around them.

People come here to get stronger, move better, and improve their health, but they also come back because they know the coaches and the people training next to them.

Pasadena has changed a lot over the years, but we’re proud to still be here doing what we do. 💪

Your first month in the gym might feel awkward. You’re learning the movements, figuring out the workouts, and probably wondering if you’re doing half of it right.

Six months later, things just start to feel different.

You move better. You’re stronger. You’re more confident with the movements. And showing up isn’t something you have to convince yourself to do anymore. It’s just part of your routine.

Progress doesn’t always have to be a dramatic before-and-after photo. Sometimes it’s realizing that the things that used to feel hard don’t feel so hard anymore.

That’s the kind of progress we love seeing at Pendulum Fitness. 💪

A packed gym with no plan can make working out feel harder than it needs to be.

At Pendulum Fitness, you’re not wandering around waiting for equipment or trying to figure out what to do next. Our classes are organized, the workout is planned, and there’s a coach there to help you through it.

And because progress doesn’t stop when you leave the gym, we also provide nutrition guidance to help you build better habits outside of class.

Show up, follow the plan, get coached, and keep making progress. 💪

A good overhead press starts before the bar ever leaves your shoulders. 💪

Here’s our quick checklist for a stronger, more controlled press:

✅ Feet planted and stable
✅ Core braced
✅ Glutes tight
✅ Bar starts in a strong front rack position
✅ Press straight overhead
✅ Finish with the bar stacked over your shoulders

The little details matter. Dial in your setup, stay consistent with your technique, and the strength will follow.

Save this one for your next overhead press day at Pendulum Fitness. 👊

Is the Rose Parade actually worth going to? 🌹👀

Depends who you ask 😂

Some say it’s something you should experience at least once. Others say if you’re under 27… maybe just stay in bed. And then there’s the biggest argument against it: waking up early just to stand outside in the freezing cold. 🥶

But if it’s your first time in Pasadena or you’ve never seen the floats in person, it might be worth checking off the list.

Pasadena people, what do you think? Is the Rose Parade worth it?
