Stop what you’re doing and find out if you can do a full depth squat with your feet together like this group and let us know in the comments if you’re successful! (Spoiler alert: Angie can’t do it so she was not allowed to be in the picture 🤷‍♀️)

🚨OPEN PREP is officially upon us!

To be honest, we’re already ready for the Open because we’re here doing this stuff every day, but this cycle gives us an opportunity to really hone in on some skill work, review movement standards and repeat some old beloved (and some not-so-loved 😳) Open workouts from years past. It’s a fantastic way to get even mentally & physically prepared for one of our favorite times of the year!

The Open kicks in on February 29th - don’t forget to get registered at games.CrossFit.com and pick S**O CROSSFIT as your affiliate to join our gym roster!

🐾 Micah says “I come to the gym to get stronger and hang out with my friends!”

Be like Micah. Come to the gym. Get stronger. Hang out with your friends.

See you this week for more Open Prep!

On Wednesdays we wear grey & black (and yes, this was from yesterday!)

We’ve officially wrapped up our Liftmas cycle and are happy to report that it was a TREMENDOUS success and our PR board has been refilled with lots of new PRs!

Here’s a little breakdown of the cycle by the numbers:
🔸Back Squat PRs: 21
🔹Strict Press PRs: 17
🔸Push Press PRs: 19
🔹Deadlift PRs: 22
🔸Total PRs: 79
🔹Total increase in pounds lifted: 981 😲

Whether you PR’d by 1 pound or 50 pounds or simply maintained your strength throughout the cycle during a busy holiday season, you should all be extremely proud of the efforts you put in! 👏👏👏

Onto our next cycle….Open Prep! See you at the gym 😀

You guys really showed up and made the first week of 2024 a great one! We love seeing so many names filling up the attendance whiteboard 💪

Let’s do it again this week as we wrap up our Liftmas cycle and retest all our lifts - make sure you get to class so we can see your improvements and refill our freshly cleared PR board!!

Which lift are you most excited to retest: Deadlift, Back Squat or Strict/Push Press?

🌟DECEMBER ATTENDANCE ALL STARS 🌟

We know how tough it can be to make time for the gym around the holidays, so shout out to everyone who made the list for December AND to everyone who didn’t but made their best efforts! WE SEE YOU!! (All of you!)

Keep it up and let’s make January and all of 2024 a fantastic year for fitness 💪

🎄Happy Holidays from your SFM Fam!🎁

We hope your day and the entire holiday season is filled with lots of love and happiness! 💙

✨NOVEMBER ALL STARS!✨

We had an impressive 4 way tie for first place this month - Tommy, Manuel, Michael & John all had 22 check-ins! 💪

This time of year gets so busy with events, travel and holidays pulling us so many directions so we know it can be a challenge to prioritize your fitness, so well done to these folks as well as to EVERYONE who continues to make their best efforts! (It’s worth noting that there were 5 more people who were only one or two classes away from making the All Stars list this month!)

We see you and commend you for all your hard work!💙
