Why New Year’s Resolutions Don’t Need to Wait for January

Bring A Friend Week: Sweaty, Fun, and 10/10 Would Do Again

Meet our newest full-time staff, Samuel Sims!

All I want for Christmas is a better standard of care for women

Our spotlight member this month wanted big change, and big change she got. Read more about Paula below!

Don’t let the holidays be a setback. Let them be a win.

Every time you walk through the doors, you get the chance to practice being a good human. And when a room full of good humans commits to kindness, integrity, and effort, our collective impact grows far beyond the walls of the gym.

Just in time for fall, y'all.

We love a member who is passionate, gritty, and determined - and Leah is just that!

You’ve probably been there. You’re showing up. Putting in the work. But nothing seems to be changing. Your lifts have stalled. Your metcon times are plateaued. You feel like you’re doing all the right things… but the results aren’t showing up. That feeling? That’s being stuck. And it’s not just a gym thing, it’s a life thing. Nutrition, life rhythms, waking up and going to bed - getting stuck is last of the human experience.

Before your doc or midwife has given you the “all-clear,” and ideally, from your bed.

The irony of that title isn’t lost on me—especially coming from the person writing it. If you know me, you probably think I’m a positive thinker, a “glass half full” kind of person. But in reality, I’m pretty cynical, and my thoughts often lean negative. I haven’t always been this way, but past hurts and bitterness I haven’t fully released have made it easy to let the lemons life’s handed me sour my heart and mind. Funny enough, I’m still great at encouraging others and seeing their potential—it’s just harder to do that for myself.

Our spotlight member this month has been around since we had a bootcamp class called Reboot, and that's how you know she's an OG member! Get to know more about 8am class staple Chrissy below!

When you think about performance in the gym, you probably think about strength, endurance, and maybe even macros. But what about hormones? Specifically—cortisol?

He came to Renew looking for consistency, and found it, plus a whole lot more. Meet Taylor—focused, funny, and always showing up looking sharp.

I sort of quit drinking on accident. I would have described how I drank as very responsible, most of the time. Alcohol by its very nature affects our ability to make sound decisions, so obviously there were times I went overboard and felt physically and emotionally horrible afterwards. I actually started the process of learning more about the effects of alcohol because of my role as a nutrition coach. I had a client who hit a plateau and I wanted to know how much drinking 1 or 2 times per week could affect her progress. A mentor of mine recommended This Naked Mind...

If you’ve ever whipped yourself in the shins mid-workout, you know: double-unders are a humbling CrossFit skill. The concept is simple — the rope passes under your feet twice for every jump — but the execution? That’s another story.

And Why CrossFit Can Teach You How to Embrace Them

If your week needs a flavor upgrade, these meatballs understood the assignment.

This month’s member spotlight is on someone who’s been part of the Renew crew since way back — and still going strong. Meet a longtime community favorite, Lauren Bratcher, whose energy, honesty, and love of deadlifts make them an essential part of our gym fam.

Let’s be real—most of what we do in the gym lives in the sagittal plane. That’s front-to-back motion: squats, deadlifts, cleans, box jumps, push-ups, pull-ups—you name it. It’s the dominant movement pattern in most strength and conditioning programs. And don’t get me wrong, sagittal strength is foundational. But if that’s the only lane we’re training in, we’re leaving a lot of real-world strength, athleticism, and injury resilience on the table. As a coach who values not just performance but longevity—I care deeply about helping people move well for life. That means we’ve gotta train smart, train fully, and train in all three planes of motion: sagittal, frontal, and transverse.

Set it and forget it...then shred it.

We’ve shown up for people navigating grief, burnout, job loss, breakups — real life stuff. And we’ve celebrated milestones right alongside PRs. Because at the end of the day, this gym isn’t just a gym. It’s a space to be supported, seen, and reminded that you don’t have to compartmentalize who you are to show up here.

In October 2019, when I was four months postpartum with my first kid, I was hospitalized for a week with a cutesy case of rhabdomyolysis. ‍As a fitness professional, I know the recipe for rhabdo. But as a postpartum woman attempting to redefine her “normal” while rebuilding her new, soft body and navigating a hormone tornado ripping through every fiber of her baby-having being… I wasn’t working with the right recipe, and when all was said and done (read: 150 push-ups later) I had made myself a piping hot bowl of self-pity and regret. 

Heading into Father’s Day Weekend, the CrossFit Renew instagram dropped the above photo. It caused me to pause and reflect on my first 20 months of fatherhood and think about how things are going to change in 5 months when the amount of chaos in our life doubles. I’m grateful to be a part of a gym whose culture supports the whole person including our families. 

Meet our member of the month, Brooke! All it took was a little well-placed peer pressure, and now she does burpees for fun!

Snack? Breakfast? Dessert? These do-it-all muffins don’t judge.

If you’re reading “accessory work” and you’re thinking “what in the world is that”, let me explain. Accessory work, or accessory movements/exercises, are essentially the movements that complement the main exercises in order to support those muscle groups and/or help strengthen those supporting, smaller muscles.

Recent studies have started to challenge the one-size-fits-all approach to kids’ bedtime routines. In fact, moderate physical activity in the evening, especially when structured thoughtfully, can actually promote relaxation and better sleep.

You’ve probably heard this a million times…”get your protein in after your workout”. But here’s the deal. When you train, especially doing CrossFit or any high-intensity workout, you’re literally tearing down muscle fibers. That’s what we want, because it’s how your body gets stronger. But if you don’t give your muscles the fuel they need to rebuild, you’re missing a huge opportunity to recover and grow.

One loves blueberries, the other runs in 100-degree heat on purpose. Together, they’re Alix and Travers—and they’ve been making moves (and gains) at Renew for nearly a year.

Bounce-back culture tells us to ignore our bodies. Real recovery asks us to understand them. I get it. Staying active during pregnancy and postpartum is challenging enough—but even harder when every woman’s experience is so different. That’s why the advice “Just listen to your body!” gets thrown around like a catch-all. Unsure how to modify a workout around your growing belly? “Just listen to your body, do what feels good!” How intense should your workout be 8 weeks after giving birth? “Just feel it out! Don’t push yourself too hard, but also YOU’VE GOT THIS!” And your OB cleared you to exercise, so it should all be fine… right?

It's an objective fact that the 5:30am regulars are built different, and Brint Patrick is one of the most faithful there is. Read more about Brint, a new-ish member who feels like he's been around for a long time!

Since 2012, Renew has been a place where people don’t just get stronger — they feel like they belong. From day one, our mission has been simple: put people first. No ifs, ands, or buts.

For all you sweet toothed suckers, here's a chocolate chip protein cookie recipe to scratch that itch 🍪

I’m beyond excited to officially introduce myself as one of your new coaches! My name is Bradley, and I can’t wait to sweat, struggle, and celebrate all the PRs with you. Before we start throwing barbells around together, I’d love to share a little bit about my journey and what brought me here.

At CrossFit Renew, we talk a lot about intentionality — whether it's dialing in your form on a heavy squat, staying disciplined with your nutrition, or showing up consistently to get the work done. But what about the way you manage your time outside the gym?Time blocking is one of the most effective ways to take control of your schedule, reduce stress, and get more done. If you're someone who constantly feels pulled in a million directions — between work, family, workouts, social life, and everything else — this strategy can be a game-changer.

You dont want abs, you want a core Having a six-pack ≠ having a strong core Sometimes I wake up, eat breakfast, have a coffee, get to work, start coaching, and learn that even though it is the year 2024, and even though we are not in the latest issue of Cosmopolitan, there are many human beings who still show up to the gym searching and sweating for 6-pack abs.
