Crossfit Fairmount

Little fun in the sun ☀️
Few friendly drop ins and some strongman style workout.
Clearly a the best way to make new friends!

Team work makes the dream work! Lovely little couplet of ‘Pick heavy stuff up and put it down’ partner throwdown today. Core, grip and glutes might not think otherwise…

But… a smooth sea never makes a skilled sailor. ⛵️ 🏴‍☠️

Awesome to see the community take on this tough workout. Atleast this has some rest programmed in it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Happy Murph Monday!!

A little overdue congratulations is in order. An OG to the CrossFit Fairmount Community. One of the hardest and most consistent members. Came away with a second place podium spot for the at few weeks ago. That podium spot has got him hungry for more competitions in the future. Way to go Robert!!

Grab a rower, a wall ball and your friend and head to the bar… Cinco de Mayo was done differently here at CrossFit Fairmount. 🌮

Almond Joy…. Never going to look at that candy bar the same. We are all forever changed after this workout.

Almost through the week here! Just grinding it out with a nice 10 rounder, in our element, head down moving forward.

With the right mindset and a solid plan of attack. Anything can be achieved. No matter what the task may be!

Embrace the suck,
especially when it comes to 100 burpee box jump overs for time.

Friends. Fitness. Community.
What more could you ask for?!
Hope everyone started their Monday off with a little bit of all three. Start the week off strong and let’s have some fun!!!

What a week… lotta bit of lifting, decent amount of heavy breathing, muscles and body parts with a new level or soreness. Big fun groups smiles before AND after workouts! All to end with a beautiful weekend of weather.
Time to recover and get back at it next week!!!

Dumbbells, toes to bar and hanging upside. What did you to push yourself today?

Here at CrossFit Fairmount we push each other. Not just out of the way for the the best equipment. But to get through that mid week hump and some grueling workouts!!

Get through the suffering with smiles and laughter. Best way to do this is with friends!

CROSSFIT FAIRMOUNT!!

The last workout of the open has just been announced. Sad to know it’s the last but after that glad we don’t have another 😂. Might as well end it with a bang! Come for the workout and stay for the after party!!

Make sure to Venmo $5 -Pedersen if you would like some recovery pizza afterwards. If you want to bring anything on top of that, GREAT we won’t stop you from some extra grub!! If water isn’t a sufficient enough recovery beverage. Highly recommend BYOB, if ya know what I mean 😜.

Lastly if ya made it this far might be wondering who are these two buffoons holding a barbell above their head. Well…

Took a little live break off last week. Tried to learn the ways of the gram. But we are back! What better way to end the Open with a little (friendly) competition? Tune in tonight on Instagram around 7pm to see these frenemies collide for 22.3!!

DJ Jonas versus Coach Corey
Young Pup versus The Old Dog
Full head of hair versus Mr Clean
Australia 🇦🇺 versus the U.S. of A!! 🇺🇸

As the open is about to close this weekend. The last scores are submitted. It’s good to take a step back and truly reflect on the experience.

Few members have already shared why they love CrossFit on our welcome board! Leave a comment on what CrossFit means to you!

BONUS: Our token Irishman & Owner/Head Coach will be back from his month long vacation and back in the gym today with a few afternoon classes 😆 🙌🏼

Hoping everyone’s back is slightly recovered from 22.2!

Energetic, fun and exciting friday. Looking to close this open with a bang.

What do you all think the final workout will be?!

As promised more details on how you can help. Please follow the link below:

https://unitedhelpukraine.org/donate

We chose this charity because it is a 501c3 that reports administration costs and works exclusively with Ukrainians. It is also providing first aide to Ukrainian soldiers and militia who are injured and had a presence in Ukraine prior to the war.

Please donate, screen shot your donation and message us with it.

The gym is matching all contributions made by current and former members before 3/10.

The matching money will support the families of two of our members. Dasha and Val are two of the hardest working most dedicated people in our gym. They have contributed so much to goose and all of us. Every awesome video on our IG is probably from them.

Their families had to flee the fighting and is currently moving west to safety. Dasha and Val are the sole financial support for their families while they are refugees. We are committed to helping them.

If you would like to donate directly to Dasha and Val in addition to the charity above, please message us.

The last week’s events in Ukraine have shocked and appalled us. Our thoughts are with all Ukrainians and all whose lives have been needlessly jeopardized. We particularly feel the pain of two of our members whose family’s lives have been put at daily risk. Our hearts break for their families and them. We know them. We know them to be amazing, kind people. It makes it impossible to not put a face to the constant images that can stun us into inappropriate complacency and resignation.

While we wish it was in our power to stop this senseless, barbaric attack, we want to help in the best way we can.

Please stay tuned, We are making sure we find the most effective way to channel your thoughts into tangible support.

Look for another post soon with specific details and a clear plan.

With his dance background, he always loves seeing little "choreo" sequences - putting multiple movements together into 1 sequence! Jon says “My why is to see how much stronger I've already become in the short 3 months I've been doing CrossFit. I'm also excited to support my 6am friends and meet some new people that I don't get to train with at the crack of dawn... 🤣”

In my short time with Crossfit I have accomplished things I never would have thought of doing 4 years ago. I am competing again this year for the community. I enjoy being around like minded people who put in the work and have fun with a big smile in doing so. I look forward to the challenges this Open and the memories that come along with it!”
