CrossFit Due North

🌟MEMBER SPOTLIGHT🌟

This month we’re spotlighting two of our 9am’ers - Kris () and Joe! They always show up and do the dang thing, while also honoring where they are at on a given day. We love having this pair spend their mornings with us! 💪🏼

Did some bodybuilding, got upside down, put some weight over our heads, rode some bikes…last week was a fun one! 🤩

Love these people, love this community. Nothing but good vibes. 😎❤️ Thank you all for coming out last night!

Who wants to spend less time in the kitchen this summer? 🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏼‍♀️ Enter JUST MEATS. Premium restaurant-quality meats, pre-cooked to perfection!

Last Murph Prep Monday today because next Monday is the real deal! MURPH is: a 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 air squats, and another 1 mile run. Whether you’re doing it vested and unpartitioned, breaking it up, biking or rowing instead of running, tackling half Murph or teaming up with a partner, scaling those pull ups or push ups…whatever! Sign up, join us, and give it your all. Help us honor fallen hero Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, and all of the others who have and are serving our country! 🇺🇸🦅

Two super star 9am’ers right here! 🤩 If you’ve been to a 9am class you’ve seen Anthony West and Robin Brabon Boswell there - they are . And if you’ve seen ‘em, you’ve been cheered on by them, or pushed a little harder because you saw them pushing it too. They have that kind of impact - they level up the good vibes when they are in the gym! To know them is to love them; this month we’re celebrating you Tony and Robin!! 👏🏼💪🏼🙌🏼

CrossFit: It’s a family affair! CFDN member .rose.rodenbo brought her parents to class the other day, and they all got down on some synchronized dumbbell work. We are HERE for it! Great work fam! 👏🏼💪🏼

Super proud of our CFDN athletes for doing the dang thang yesterday at Festivus — ya’ll worked your butts off, and rocked it. Way to represent! 💪🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

Three cheers for Cole () and Seryna ()! We see you workin’ your tail off in the gym week in and week out. Love having you as a part of the CFDN Crew! 🙌🏼💪🏼

A new tradition was started during the Open last year, here at CFDN. Members nominated someone they thought represented the principals we have as a gym: integrity, encouragement, respect, lending a helping hand, having a positive outlook and always smiling. This award was inspired by someone who was a member of our community, who we tragically lost just over a year ago – Evie Lower Kellogg. Evie was a bright light who we miss dearly. She is someone who was all of the things mentioned above and more! The “Spirit of the Open” award goes to someone who shines like Evie did.

This year the award went to our very own Karlie Acton. Karlie works her tail off in the gym. She really gets after it! She shows up every day ready to learn, grow, and improve. She is someone who is easy to root for, because she does the same for everyone else. Whether it’s her experience as a collegiate basketball player or her nature, she is a team player! Which isn’t to say she isn’t competitive. There are some friendly rivals she goes head-to-head with in the 6:30am class she attends, who can tell you that haha.

Yesterday was extra special for Karlie because 1. It was her 30th birthday! And 2. She got her very first muscle up!! Go Karlie!!

Congrats to you Karlie, and happy belated 30th! We love having you as a part of the CFDN community – we appreciate you!!

The last workout of the 2024 CrossFit Open did not disappoint. Great work to all of the CFDN athletes who threw down last night! And as always SO many thanks to for capturing the magic. 📸❤️

Last few days of the 2024 CFDN Intramural Open, and both teams have been raking in the points! Here are a few pics of members wearing their CFDN swag outside of the gym (1pt) and doing fitness in public (1pt). Let’s keep it going guys! Home stretch! 🙌🏼

Annnd a few more. 👏🏼💪🏼🙌🏼

📸

Rowing and deadlifts and double unders, oh my! 🫣 24.2 was a marathon, not a sprint. And the athletes at CFDN brought it!

Many thanks to Kayla for working her magic and capturing these awesome pics of everyone! 📸

We’re celebrating two of our early birds this month, and They bring the good vibes (and come to WORK) every day! Love having you two as part of the CFDN crew! 💪🏼🐦🪱☕️😄

said 24.1 would be “unique” and “effective” and man, he wasn’t lyin’. 😅 Thanks a million to for capturing such sweet pics from last night’s Friday Night Lights event! 📸👏🏼

The 2024 CFDN Intramural Open is underway, and members are already racking up points for their teams. One way to do so: wearing CFDN swag outside of the gym (pics or it didn’t happen 😆). We’ve even got members reppin’ the gym while away in GA, FL, and Belize! Cool! 🤩💪🏼👏🏼

Wednesday’s are for twinning! 👯

These two bring such great energy to whatever class they are in. Love having you as part of the CFDN fam and ! 💪🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

Saturday mornings are for catching up and chatty cardio.🚶🏻‍♀️

🌟COACH/OWNER SPOTLIGHT🌟

Today we celebrate gym co-owner and coach 🙌🏼 From his business partner and BFF …

“Josh is one of the most grounded and thoughtful people I know! His ability to be so incredibly normal and absurdly weird all in the same breathe is incredible. I think that as a defining characteristic is what makes Josh appeal to so many people: He is always willing to meet people where they are at, and has this innate ability to make anyone feel immediately comfortable. His first instinct is to always build you up. We all need a Josh in our lives!”

Josh cares a lot about CFDN and it’s members. He works tirelessly to make our gym a place we all want to come and enjoy! From the big things (like weighing in on building renovations and customizing programming) to the little things (like restocking the FitAid cooler) he’s got a hand in all of it.

Three cheers for and for the hard work he puts in helping to make CFDN the awesome place it is!

Let’s hear it for the Monroes! Who are SO consistent and SO hard working. and we ❤️ you two!!

“Look at this amazing group who got their fitness on first thing in the New Year! Let’s make 2024 outstanding at CFDN ❤️”

Happy holidays everyone! 🎅🏼🎄

Show of hands, who else wants to be more like Jenn and Trav? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️ These two are incredible athletes; they work hard and have fun! If that’s not what is?! We love having you two (and the positive energy you bring) in the gym and ! 💪🏼❤️🙌🏼

🌟COACH/OWNER SPOTLIGHT🌟

Today we celebrate gym co-owner and coach ! 🙌🏼 SO MUCH could be said about Brad, but to spotlight him we’ll leave it up to his business partner and BFF …

“Brad is honestly one of a kind. I’ve never met anyone like him, and every day, I'm grateful for that for many reasons.

Brad was born and raised in northern Michigan, but decided to dedicate six years of his life to the United States Military (ARMY) where he fought daily for our country overseas. This could be a metaphor for his entire life; in spite of tremendous odds and discomfort, he puts others before himself, always. He takes action on what he believes to be true and righteous, and doesn’t look back.

If he is not physically working on bettering his own life, he is mentally working on it. Chances are he is doing both actually, haha.

As a business partner, he is inspiring (and at times, exhausting lol), driven, and constantly working towards providing a better place and experience for everyone at CFDN.

As a friend, he is motivating, the voice of reason, empathetic, and when I feel like I can’t do something or do anymore, he’ll tell me to shut up and just get to work, haha. Maybe in different words, but the message gets across.

I love him like another brother and am thankful to know him. Say “hi” to my friend Brad if you see him!”

Come get your fitness on before you get your turkey on! 🦃

We’re spotlighting a few of “the kids” this month! 😄 You can find and crushing it any day of the week, at CFDN. They bring so much energy and so many good vibes — love having you two around! 🙌🏼
