Full Send Fitness

Fantastic day at the BrewCity Open. Laurie went 4/6, and Oliva went 6/6!! The effort and dedication these ladies put in on a daily basis is amazing to watch. I couldn't be more proud of both of them.

This Saturday, Oct 5th, come join us to celebrate this amazing man's life.

Tanner W. Byholm, age 25 of Glidden, WI passed away in a private plane accident in Janesville, WI on Tuesday, Feb 16, 2021. Tanner was born Oct 4, 1995 in Ashland, WI, the son of William L. and Rebecca M. (Eder) Byholm.

Tanner lived a full life: from racing (a passion he shared with his dad), to traveling the Midwest competing in competitive shooting, snowmobiling and snowboarding out West, to pursuing a career in aeronautics, earning his flight instruction certification from Fox Valley Technical College and later a degree from UW-Oshkosh. Tanner loved flying and shared that love with his family and friends, taking them up in the air as often as he could.

Tanner was a proud Marine Reservist, serving our country for 6 years before deciding to join the Air Force Reserve where he was selected to be an A-10 pilot, the plane of his dreams. "I was put on this planet to save lives and make a difference."

Tanner was a cherished member of Full Send Fitness/Crossfit Appleton, where he effortlessly connected with people and had a penchant for going out "too hot" in workouts. He was a person that when you met him, you were drawn in by his presence. He thought of everyone in his life and will be remembered by all who knew him.

Grab a friend (because when you were with Tanner, you were with a friend) and remember Tanner with this workout. And don't forget to go out too hot.

So fun fact, we don't charge for drop ins at Full Send Fitness. If you're traveling to Appleton, 98% of the time it's for work, you probably already have a relatively expensive membership to your gym back at home, and life is too freaking expensive to begin with. What I love the most is that most people will then resort to bringing some sort of gift. Other than the pack of socks and the rose I've been given, this is by far one of the best gifts!! If you're in town and need a place to workout, we got your back, just don't forget the snacks!

Year 6 of our annual SwimWOD and this year was a banger!! So thankful to be able to connect with friends from all over the valley, thank you to and for joining us this year!! The weather was absolutely perfect this year and seeing all of the kids playing while the parents worked out was so much fun! Can't wait to do it again.

Yesterday we had some members from the Appleton East Football team come in for a fun weightlifting seminar. These guys were great to have in the gym! Can't wait to do it again and dive deeper into Olympic weightlifting with them!

Saturday July, 13th put it on your calendar! We are headed back to Plamann Lake for annual SwimWOD! Bring a family member or a friend, we will start at 8:30am and we have the lake until 10:30am for us to play in. will be joining us for the fun this year!

Hit up Jo if you need some work!!

What a great weekend for some spring cleaning! All the cubbies were vacuumed out and scrubbed down. All the rowers, bikes, benches, and wall balls were pulled out and completely scrubbed down. There is a ton of stuff in the lost and found, soooo many freaking shoes that have been left behind. Huge shout out to everyone that came in to help out. Amy, Shelly, Joe, Curt, Brian, Laurie, Holly, Karen, Kim, all took time out of their day to help out so make sure you thank them when you see them! And biggest shout out to Stephanie for all the work you do every week to keep stuff clean! 20 rowers, 17 Echo Bikes, 10 benches, 100 cubbies, a ton of wall balls, and god knows what else all scrubbed down in just about 2 hours!

Shout to these bad ass ladies for taking 1st place at The Festivus Games today!! They might be old, but they sure are fit!!

And thats a wrap on the 2024 CrossFit Games Open! Huge shout out to for all of these awesome photos! I have plenty more that will be shared as well. It was awesome seeing you all push the limits of your fitness and then throwing that same support to your fellow friends and athletes, it's what the gym such a special place!

Don't forget this Saturday we will be honoring "Big Brad". Bring a friend to share the work load!

Brad’s wife Nikki, would like to share Brad’s story:
Brad Robison 2/11/83-1/21/2024
Brad began his CrossFit journey as a self taught athlete. He competed at Central Florida Throwdown before becoming a member at Crossfit Zoo in November 2018. Outside of CrossFit, Brad had many hobbies & interests. He loved mountain biking, disc golf, beach trips with his family, concerts of all genres, and being surrounded by those he loved. Whether through his work as a Physical Therapist or his time as a CrossFit Coach, Brad spent his time helping others live their best lives.
Brad & Nikki Robison bought CrossFit Zoo on September 20, 2021. They built a beautiful CrossFit family - from their box members to community members reaching far and wide. Their two annual competitions are at the heart of the Central Florida CrossFit Community. From the grueling RX programming, to all Adaptive divisions, down to the Family/Kids divisions where 4+ year olds have competed with their parents…Rex Rumble and Reindeer Rumble are truly the epitome of welcoming all skill levels.
Brad was the “coach’s coach”. Coaches around Central Florida, and beyond, will tell you just how passionate Brad was about CrossFit and his community. Whether it was his own athlete, or an owner of another affiliate, Brad was always lending his coaching advice and making sure everyone had support. His passion shined on and off the floor, constantly reaching out and loving on people wherever he found them.
Brad was the main provider for his family; working full time as a PTA and not only owning CrossFit Zoo with his Wife, but also acting as their head coach with little reprieve. He was a family man like no other. His love for Nikki & Gage showed through all of his actions. Family always came first. Still, he prioritized the time for training and could be found competing at just about any CrossFit competition in the state of Florida. He was one hell of a competitor. He last competed with his brother, Tim, and his friend, A***n, as a team of 3 at Salute the Fallen on November 11, 2023 and podiumed in the RX division. No one could imagine it would be his last competition on the floor. On December 2, 2023 Brad & Nikki hosted Reindeer Rumble with no idea that their lives were about to change forever.
On December 15, 2023 Brad was admitted to Ocala Advent Hospital with what was believed to be high liver enzymes, a UTI, and an enlarged Gallbladder which would require surgery to remove. Further complications arose when they found a blockage in his bile duct, aspirating pneumonia, pulmonary edema, and a pulmonary embolism.
On December 21st Brad was Diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. The local hospital was not fully capable of the care he required but with needing high flow oxygen, multiple antibiotics, and intensive care, he was denied transfer to another hospital.
On December 28th it was found that his cancer had metastisized, moving thru his blood, lymph nodes, lungs and was Stage 4. He began his first round of chemotherapy shortly after. Brad was in and out of ICU needing multiple Pleural cavity aspirations, PICC lines, Bipap support/High flow oxygen, multiple feeding tube placement surgeries due to malfunctions, and subsequently TPN.
On January 13th, Brad was transferred to Orlando Advent which was more capable of providing proper care. It was the long awaited move in the right direction. A permanent drain was placed into his right pleural cavity as fluid was continuously filling up and the oncologist planned for 5-6 chemo treatments before looking at discharge. However, on the 19th his J tube (feeding tube) had to be replaced. The tube had retracted from his small intestines & coiled up in his stomach leaving him without nutrition again. He did well through the surgeries but began having complications shortly after.
On January 20th, Brad was rushed to ICU due to his oxygen levels and blood pressure dropping drastically. He underwent an emergency pericardiocentesis (removal of fluid from around his heart) prior to being intubated. Both procedures were successful and the plan was to begin the 2nd round of chemo and let his body rest while having the ventilator support.
On January 21, 2024 - exactly one month from the time he was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer - Brad went into cardiac arrest. Removing the fluid around his heart hours prior, although necessary, sent his heart into shock. After a 40 minute fight, beginning at 8:40 am, Brad passed away at 9:20 am with his Wife & Son at his side. On the whiteboard in his room, there was a care plan with the section: Most important thing. The answer… My Family.
Brad’s legacy continues on through Nikki, Gage, and CrossFit Zoo.
The weekend of February 10th and 11th, 2024 CrossFitters from all over are coming together to celebrate Brad’s “Forever 40" birthday with the last workout he programmed before he could no longer communicate. Please join us in solidarity by completing his workout “Big Brad” which was written in the ICU. Multiple boxes took on the workout during the early weeks of January as a fundraiser. It was the last workout he was able to watch his community come together for. Brad loved long grueling workouts and his 4 favorite movements were Double Unders, Dumbell Snatches, Lunges, & Muscle ups. “Big Brad” is just that.
“Big Brad”
30 minute AMRAP:
150 Double Unders
100 Ft. Walking lunges
50 Dumbell Snatches (50/35)
25 Bar Muscle Ups
Thank you.

Coming up on January 27th, we will be attending the first Fox Valley Functional Fitness Awards, where we will be celebrating all of the amazing athletes at the different Functional Fitness/CrossFit gyms in the Fox Valley area. As the owner and head coach of one of the participating gyms my task was to nominate our athletes and coaches for different awards, a task that was much more difficult than anticipated because of all of the awesome people that come to our gym. One award in particular, The Risk Taker, was an almost immediate decision, the easiest to decide, but the most difficult to articulate. There was only one person in my mind that 100% deserved this award. It is an honor to officially announce the first recipient of what will now be known as the Tanner Byholm Risk Taker Award, the one and only Tanner Byholm. The sad part is he is no longer with us as he tragically passed in a freak plane accident while piloting an experimental aircraft. Tanner had a saying "Die Living", and he fully embraced that. Tanner never backed down from a risk, whether that was in the gym, out snowmobiling, serving our country as a Marine, flying air planes, or racing dirt track ovals. There was nothing he was scared of. Tanner was a truly exceptional human, one that a lot of us think of often. If you want to win this award in the future you have huge shoes to fill!
