A big thank you to everyone who came out this week to celebrate our 12-year anniversary. 🥳💪🏼

We are very thankful and blessed to be able to do what we do and make a positive impact through fitness and community.

12 years ago, starting from scratch, we could only have hoped and dreamed to last a full dozen years. This all comes back to the people who support us — we couldn’t do what we do without the support from you guys.

We are forever grateful ❤️

Things you can thank the gym for:

The mental break. The stress relief. The stronger body. The clearer mind. The space to work through things.

Things you should thank yourself for:

Showing up without seeing results. Pushing through when it was hard. Starting again when you fell off track. Choosing hard over easy. Not giving up on yourself.

The gym changes your life. But so do you. 👊🏼

GO FOR IT. 👊🏼

You might surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. 🏋🏼‍♀️

And if you fall short? You learn, you grow, and you come back stronger. 💪🏼

You know the hardest part about CrossFit?

Walking through the doors for the first time. 👊

Because once you do, you’ll quickly realize it’s not nearly as intimidating or scary as you might have imagined.

Here’s what you’ll find at our gym:

💪 Workouts that meet you where you are. Yes, they’re challenging, but every workout can be scaled to fit your fitness level and experience.

🙌 Coaches who care. Knowledgeable, personable coaches who are here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you succeed.

🤝 A community that supports you. People of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels working toward their own goals while cheering each other on.

You don’t have to be in shape to start CrossFit. You don’t need experience. And you definitely don’t need to have it all figured out.

You just have to take that first step.

Showing up with a great attitude
puts you ahead of 99.9% of people. Keep Going.

Coach @dominiquehamman is a prime example of that 💪🏼 by @crossfitallendale

Stop chasing 30-day results.

Start thinking about who you want to become 5 years from now.

The real transformation happens when you commit to the long game.

Show up. Put in the work. Enjoy the journey & keep going. 🧱

Show up when you feel good.

Show up when you feel bad.

Show up when you’re sore.

Show up when you’re tired.

Show up when you’re motivated.

Show up when you’re not.

The key is to keep showing up.

Because the hard part isn’t always the workout.

Sometimes, the hard part is simply showing up.

And that’s where the progress starts. 💪

🌟 October Member of the Month: Ali! 🌟

It has been awesome watching Ali over the last few years and seeing the positive impact CrossFit has had on her life. She originally started at CFA to help her son get into weight training and decided to join him. It didn’t take long for her to get hooked, and she quickly found a community that challenged and supported her.

Since then, Ali has continued to get stronger and faster while improving her fitness and endurance. She’s a great runner and rope climber, and her dedication and consistency never go unnoticed. Even more importantly, she’s setting an incredible example for her boys by showing them the value of hard work and consistency.

What do you do when you’re not at CFA?

“I’m probably feeding teenage boys, buying more groceries for teenage boys, watching high school or middle school sports, or hanging out with my kids.” 😂

What do you do for a living?

Ali is a professor in the Natural Resources Management and Wildlife Biology programs at Grand Valley State University.

What’s something most people at the gym don’t know about you?

“I really like gardening and grow a lot of my own food. It’s hard work, but it tastes so good!” 🌱

When did you realize CrossFit was right for you?

“When my son was going into 7th grade, he wanted some weight training and asked me to go with him. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but after a couple weeks, I was addicted.”

Ali says what ultimately made CFA feel like home was the people—the coaches and members who are positive, supportive, encouraging, and genuine. The burn, grit, perseverance, and fist bumps after every workout became a part of her life when she needed it most.

What would you recommend to someone just starting CrossFit?

“Go for it! Push yourself to try hard things, and accept failure as an opportunity to grow.”

And she has some *Kung Fu Panda* wisdom to back it up:
“If you only do what you can already do, you will never be more than you are now.”

Keep up the great work, Ali! We’re lucky to have you at CFA! 💪🔥 by @crossfitallendale

@themarkschmidt says “it’s good to do hard things” & Coach @joshconnelly did just that this past weekend by completing a 50 mile run in 9 hours & 40 minutes at the @hungerfordtrailraces !

Not only was he training for this run the last few months, he was also attending 3-4 CrossFit classes a week 💪

Our coaches lead by example & we are proud of that. Awesome job, Josh 👏🏼👏🏼 taken in CrossFit Allendale by @crossfitallendale

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”

The way you show up.
The way you work.
The way you handle the hard stuff.

It all matters. Even the little things. Especially the little things. 💪🔥

set the tone for your day ⏰🥵

Everything will feel easier and better after starting your day with something hard and a good sweat.

The energy at 5:45 was on fire today 🔥🔥
