CrossFit Zanshin

🚨 Never let Coach Pete catch you sitting down. 😂

Tyler knows better.

Maybe it’s the old college hockey player in me, but sitting down during a workout gets my attention FAST.

And Tyler may have scaled today just a little too much, hoping he could “get by.”

Bad strategy. 😂

Especially when you’ve already agreed to do your age in push-ups and squats every day.

I’m not giving Tyler extra work…

I’m just holding him accountable. 😇😂

Get up, Tyler.

You don’t need to get in shape before you start CrossFit.

It doesn’t matter where you are in your fitness journey—Day 1 or Year 10.

The best students understand one thing:

There is always something new to learn.

A new skill. A better position. More strength. More confidence. A new way to use your body that you didn’t think was possible.

At CrossFit Zanshin, we’re not trying to make you a better CrossFitter.

We’re trying to help you become a stronger, more capable human—well into the second half of your life.

So if you’re thinking, “I need to get in shape before I start CrossFit,” think about this:

How could you possibly be ready for something you’ve never done before?

You don’t need to be ready. You need to be willing to learn.

And as long as you’re training with us, you’ll never stop learning.

Day 1 or Year 10. We’re still getting better.

Not sure if CrossFit Zanshin is right for you? Start with a simple 10-minute conversation with a coach. No workout. No pressure. Just tell us where you are, where you want to go, and we’ll help you figure out the best place to start.

MEET COACH OLIVIA

Olivia brings something to coaching that you can’t learn from a certification — she knows what it feels like to start from the beginning.

Through CrossFit, Olivia has lost over 100 pounds, completely changing her health, fitness and confidence along the way. Today, she uses that experience to help other people discover what they’re capable of.

She is a CrossFit Level 1 Coach, is working toward her Level 2, and speaks both English and Spanish.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN OLIVIA’S CLASS

Expect energy, encouragement and a coach who understands that everyone is on a different part of their journey.

Olivia will help you understand the movements, find the right version of the workout for you, and push you when she knows you’re capable of more.

And you can always count on one other thing…

🎶 A great playlist.

Whether you’re brand new to CrossFit or have been training for years, Olivia wants you to leave class feeling successful, challenged and glad you showed up.

Come meet Coach Olivia at CrossFit Zanshin.

What if the reason you feel insecure at the gym isn’t because you’re out of shape — but because nobody ever taught you what to do?

Ever walk into a gym and wonder:

Am I doing this correctly?
Is this supposed to feel like this?
Am I using the right weight?
Is anyone even paying attention?

At CrossFit Zanshin, you’re not left to figure it out on your own.

We coach.

We watch how you move. We teach. We correct. We adjust the workout when needed. And we help you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing.

You don’t need to already be fit.
You don’t need to know the movements.
You don’t need to prove anything before you walk through our doors.

That’s what the coaches are for.

Every member journey starts with a simple 10-minute conversation.

TIGHT HIPS? YOUR LOWER BACK MAY BE PAYING FOR IT.

You don’t need a fancy gym or complicated mobility routine.

A simple resistance band and a few minutes can help open up tight hips and reduce some of the tension you may be feeling through your lower back.

Here’s one of the simple drills we use at CrossFit Zanshin to help our members move and feel better.

Better movement doesn’t have to be complicated.

Follow us for simple training, mobility and coaching tips every week.

This photo was taken in 2018—and both of these women are still training with us today.

They each had a great class today, but the best part wasn’t simply how well they performed. It was watching both of them improve their skills.

After years at Zanshin, they are still learning, still growing and still getting better.

So if you’ve been thinking about starting but feel nervous—or believe you need to get fit before you begin—don’t let that stop you.

You don’t have to be ready. You just have to be willing to start. We’ll help you from there.

WEEK 667 AT CROSSFIT ZANSHIN 💪

Another great week of training at CFZ.

After 667 weeks, you might think it would start to feel routine. It doesn’t.

Every week brings a new challenge. A new breakthrough. Someone doing something they weren’t sure they could do. Sometimes it’s a PR. Sometimes it’s mastering a movement. And sometimes the biggest win is simply showing up when life gave you every reason not to.

That’s what I love about this place.

I get to watch people become stronger, healthier and more confident — one workout, one accomplishment and one week at a time.

It’s a blessing to be a small part of so many different journeys.

Week 667 in the books. On to 668. 👊

MEET COACH CHRIS 👋

Chris may be one of our newest coaches, but he brings more than 12 years of experience as a CrossFit athlete to every class.

As a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, Chris doesn’t just tell you what to do—he helps you understand what you’re doing and why it matters.

What can you expect in his class?

Clear instruction, thoughtful coaching, plenty of encouragement, and a coach who will challenge you while making sure you feel supported. Whether you’re brand-new or an experienced athlete, Chris wants you to keep learning, stay consistent, and recognize what you’re capable of.

Outside the gym, Chris enjoys traveling, brewing craft beer, and spending time with his wife, children, and granddaughter.

Drop into one of Chris’s classes and say hello!

Hump Day vibes at CFZ! 💪

This morning’s partner workout combined rowing and bench press—challenging, effective and a lot more fun with a teammate beside you.

Today’s training had three clear objectives:

🚣 Improve rowing efficiency
🏆 Take on our August challenge
🏋️ Build a stronger bench press

Every workout at Zanshin has a purpose. You don’t need to create your own program, wonder if it’s effective or keep guessing after you hit a plateau.

We handle the programming and coaching. Your job is simple:

Reserve your class. Show up. Put in the work.

Stop guessing and start training with purpose.
