CrossFit No'Ala

One of the most damaging trends in fitness content right now is the idea that as you get older, you should do less — stop sprinting, avoid heavy lifting, skip the hard workouts. It sounds like caution. It’s actually the opposite of helpful.

Removing intensity from your training as you age is a path to deconditioning. It’s a path toward depending on other people for the things you currently do yourself. Squatting, deadlifting, sprinting, doing hard workouts — these are not things to phase out. They’re things to scale intelligently and keep doing. The weights come down. The mechanics stay sound. The intensity stays.

Because if you can’t sprint in training, you can’t sprint in life. And life will ask you to sprint — chasing a kid, hiking with a pack, playing a pickup game, handling an emergency. The training exists to make sure you’re ready when it does.

Congratulations are in order for our very own Coach Kyle Randolph! 🥇

This past weekend, Coach Kyle took the next steps in his educational journey by participating in the CrossFit Level 2 Certificate Course. 🤓

Whereas the Level 1 is all about the methodology, the Level 2 is all about Coaching the methodology. 💪🏼

At CFNA, we believe education matters. Leveling up our knowledge means leveling up your class experience, and that’s what it’s all about. 💯

Join us in congratulating Coach Kyle on earning this achievement! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

has clocked out for the last time. 😢

Thank you Coach Box for your commitment to CFNA, your contagious positivity, incredibly strong work ethic, and unwavering desire to be the best at whatever you do.

We wish you the best of luck.

Tomorrow morning, we say farewell to one of the greatest to ever do it. 🐐

Coach Box hired in nearly 5 years ago and immediately hit the ground running coaching mornings, afternoons and evenings. He did this all while going to school full-time AND working various other part-time jobs. Needless to say, this guys work ethic is almost as strong as his legs. (Almost) 💪🏼

Coach Box has made such a tremendous impact on the members AND the staff at CFNA. Words simply won’t due it justice. He will be truly missed.

We wish him and his wife the absolute best in their new adventures! 🤜🏻🤛🏻

If you never got a chance to train with Coach Box, tomorrow morning is your last chance:
5:00am or 6:00am (or both?) 🤷🏻‍♂️
