Everybody wants to know how to magically do the magic movement that magically tones up their triceps so they look magical.

Eventhough your triceps will look magical if you spend enough time here with us, you still need to do the boring basics like farmers carrys that allow you to bring your groceries in the house in 1 trip instead of 5.

Chris is a fire fighter and he can carry you out of a building and carry in his groceries in 1 trip.

Every gone to the same class and done the same thing in the same room over and over and over again. Yeah that sucks.

So we workout outside sometimes, and if you don't believe that is more fun then just look at how happy Chris is to run out the back door during his workout. He did come back by the way it wasn't that bad of a workout!

"I will get started when things settle down." Most people say that, and they are also the people that usually never start.

We could have created a gym that just said ok, knowing they would never be back. Or we could create a gym that understands everyone has things going on and be a welcoming spot to that. We chose number 2.

Strollers have wheels so they can move with you while you workout. We are mostly all parents here. We also mostly know that we want to be kick ass grandparents too and if we don't start now we may lose that opportunity.

Nobody hands these kids a set of instructions. Coach Haylee just jumps first, every time, and the kids jump right behind her without missing a beat.

That's how kids actually learn a new movement, not by being told what to do, but by watching someone they trust go first and wanting to keep up. It's also how they learn to trust a coach in the first place, one small moment like this at a time.

Four kids matching Coach Haylee mid-air, arms up. Nobody told them to smile while they did it.

Do you understand why your doing some things? It's ok most don't even the people in this photo.

That is why Coach Katie is running through the whiteboard with today's workout so the whole class knows what we are doing, what the options are to modify, and what the intention of the workout is to get the most out of it.

Some will still have questions after but having an understanding of what you are doing and why every single day is a game changer.

This month, we’re celebrating Lauren! You can typically find Lauren in the 7AM class, although she’s always willing to bounce around and get a workout in whenever she can. She makes the drive to come to CFA, consistently shows up ready to work, always a pleasure to have in class, and is always cheering on the people around her.
Lauren is one of those members who makes a class better simply by being there. She is incredibly sweet, encouraging, hardworking, and always willing to learn. Whether she’s pushing herself through a tough workout or celebrating someone else’s accomplishment, she brings such a positive energy to the gym.
We’re so lucky to have Lauren as part of the CFA community and are grateful for the consistency, kindness, and encouragement she brings with her every time she walks through the door.
Congratulations, Lauren! We’re so happy to celebrate you as our August Member of the Month! ❤️

What do you do for work?
I work in Medical Affairs for a biotech company. I’m a pediatric physical therapist by training and spent six years working with kiddos before making the jump into industry. I love that I’m still able to use my clinical experience to help bring patients better care, just in a different way.

Where did you grow up?
I grew up in Tewksbury and lived there until about a year ago. I miss the commute to CFA the most!

Favorite/Least favorite food?
Favorite: Ice cream- M&M ice cream, specifically
Least favorite: Fried foods and raisins

Favorite CrossFit movement?
Box jumps! It’s probably the one movement I could do RX all day. (Ask me again after a workout though, and the answer might not sound as confident)

Least favorite CrossFit movement?
Definitely wall balls, but I don’t think I’m alone on that one

Something people don’t know about you?
I’m addicted to finding great deals at Marshalls and TJ Maxx- and don’t even let me walk into Home Sense

Do you have any hidden talents/party tricks?
I can solve a Rubik’s Cube

Cardio is boring. Yup we said it, it's because it's true. However, it is very important to the health of your heart and body entirely.

We keep it interesting in most circumstances but sometimes you just got to get it done. You know when that doesn't happen? When you don't have a coach and a crew of friends doing it with you. It is always going to be boring but your environment can make it better.

What don't you get when you train alone?

Majority of people train at home, or they say they do... or go to a big commercial gym or at least have a membership to one. The majority of those people have probably also walked in started to do something then cut it a bit short because heck who's going to notice?

But when you train in a community and your friend in front of you just hit their rep and you think dang if they just did it then I'm going to do it. You have that same thing happen 100 times over the year that you were going to classes, then you realize how much success you've had in such a short time that you've never had before.

People assume kids just naturally know how to jump, land, and catch themselves. They don't, not without practice.

Give a kid a safe place to jump over something, fall down, and get back up, and she'll do it a hundred times a class without ever being told to. That's exactly what's happening in this photo. Nobody's spotting her, nobody's counting reps. She just found something fun to leap over.

Kids who get that kind of practice early grow up more coordinated and a lot more confident in what their bodies can do. Kids who don't usually end up more cautious and a little afraid of their own two feet. We'd rather build the first kind.
