NUTRITION progress does not have to start with everything.

Pick one habit this week:
• Add protein to breakfast
• Drink water before coffee
• Pack a snack for after class
• Add vegetables to one meal
• Eat before coming to the gym

One habit. Repeated often.

That is how foundations are built.

EAT for the Life You Want

We train for more than workouts.

We train to hike, bike, ski, carry groceries, play with kids, move through workdays, and keep saying yes to life.

NUTRITION supports that.

Food is not punishment. It is not something to “earn.” It is part of the foundation that helps you do the things you care about.

Build the base. Keep it simple. Let it support the life you are building.

NUTRITION Supports Recovery

Training breaks the body down. Recovery builds it back up.

That recovery depends on sleep, hydration, stress management, and yes: food.

If you are constantly sore, tired, dragging through workouts, or feeling stuck, nutrition may be part of the conversation.

Not as judgment. As support.

Your body is doing hard things. Give it what it needs to adapt.

Better recovery helps you train more consistently. Consistency is where the magic is.

NUTRITION does not have to be complicated.

You do not need the perfect meal plan, the trendiest supplement, or a complete lifestyle overhaul to start.

For most people, progress begins with the basics:
• More protein
• More whole foods
• More water
• More consistency
• Less skipping meals and hoping for the best

At Cuspis, we care about long-term fitness. That means building habits you can actually live with.

Small changes count. Repeatable choices count. Starting where you are counts.

CrossFit’s Theoretical Hierarchy of Development starts with NUTRITION for a reason.

Before intensity, before skills, before heavier lifts - the body needs support.

Nutrition impacts energy, recovery, muscle, bone, metabolism, and how consistently you can show up.

That doesn’t mean you need to be perfect. It means your daily habits matter.

Start simple:
• Eat enough
• Prioritize protein
• Drink water
• Add fruits and vegetables
• Fuel around training

Fitness is built one choice at a time.

Yesterday, we concluded our official Memorial Day weekend events with a special yoga class led by Coach Alex, in place of our usual 9am Sunnyside Strength and Conditioning class.

Our yogis received the invitation to examine where and how the spend their attention, and to reserve some of that attention and presence for themselves and those in their community.

We also used the class as a chance to slow down and breathe before a summer filled with great workouts and a full line up of events and workshops.

Keep your eyes on our page for more exciting announcements, and see you around the gym again tomorrow (Tuesday, 5/25), as we resume our standard class schedule!

At Cuspis, everyone does Murph in the way that meets them where they are.

Full Murph. Half Murph. Partner Murph. Scaled reps. Ring rows. Knee push-ups. Air squats to a target. No vest. Modified runs. Whatever version lets you show up, move with intention, and honor the purpose of the workout — that's what counts.

The work matters.
The reason matters more.

Every level. Every person. Every version belongs here.

Honor the fallen.

Your athlete journey looks different from the person next to you. Different goals, different history, different strengths.

That's not a problem — it's exactly what coaching is for.

Murph 2026 is in the books and wow. 🔥

The turnout today was unreal. Current members, past members, friends, and familiar faces. That’s what this day is about. 💪🏼

Thank you for helping keep us moving through one of the most challenging workouts of the year. 🎶

Thank you to for the incredible food and for everything you do. And thank you to everyone who donated and helped them exceed their fundraising goals. 🙌

Days like today are exactly why we show up. Thank you to every single person who came out and put in the work. ❤️

Happy Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

Mechanics. Consistency. Intensity.

In that order.

It's a CrossFit principle for a reason. We don't add load until the movement is sound. We don't chase intensity until it's consistent. That's how you actually get stronger without breaking down.
