Badger CrossFit

Better than yesterday, one rep, one class and one day at a time. 💪

✨ Girls rule! ✨

Today’s 11am and 12pm classes ended up being all women and we had a blast! 💥

We are taught to put others first, but if we don’t take care of ourselves, things eventually fall apart. 💖

We are so proud of the women of our gym who day in and day out show up for themselves in all aspects of their health and wellbeing. Looking for an awesome community to lift you up? Look no further! 🎉

"Because of our consistency at Badger, Dan and myself were able to hike 30 miles in 6 days with our teenagers in the Canadian Rockies in Banff, Alberta. 14 miles up and 14 miles down mountains. Only a little bit was flat. We were passing people and had a consistent pace and we weren’t really sore. All thanks to the work we do in the gym! Thank you Badger!"

This crew had a fun morning testing out some awesome fitness apparel from our friends at Bearbottom clothing company! 👕🩳

Their mission is to become the go-to brand for the most versatile, comfortable, and wearable everyday clothing company for men. They are founded on a buy-one-give-one model, and leverage the support of their customers by donating a meal to a child in need for every item they sell. 🍱

Such an awesome way to help those in need and we had a blast partnering with them this morning! 🥳

In honor of the kicking off today we throw it back to last year’s crew making it to the Games! Hosting coach Kelly and her amazing teammates and cheering them on in Madison was a highlight for the year! We miss y’all and look forward to seeing the fittest throwdown this weekend!

🎉Our Fall CrossFit Kids Session is LIVE! 🎉

Starting September 17, Badger CrossFit is excited to launch another dynamic and engaging CrossFit Kids program! This six-week course is designed to introduce children (ages 9-14) to the fundamentals of CrossFit in a fun and supportive environment.

Congratulations to members Austin & Shannon on the recent birth of Livia Mae! Big sister Ellie is going to be the best big sister and we are so happy for you all and can’t wait to see her in the gym!

Happy Birthday to our Founder, Tyler! 🎈Thank you for building a space that feels like a second home to so many in our community - this place is special!

Your love for EDM beats 🎧 keeps the early morning classes moving and we thank you for the top notch equipment and facility you created all these years.

We couldn’t be more grateful to have DJSwizz at Badger 🦡 and we are ready for your turntables to appear at the first ever Badger Rave whenever you are ready. 😂 Thanks for all you do, and today we gladly celebrate you! 🎉

🎉Weekend Warrior recap from some of our members!🎉

Last weekend, Barbee set out to complete the Jackson Hole “Everesting” 29029, ascending the mountain 19 times to complete the same elevation, 29,029 feet, as the actual Mount Everest. This was a transformational experience mentally, physically, and emotionally. We all experience “lows” in our lives aka 1’s and also are lucky to experience “highs” in our lives via 10’s. Most of us live in the comfort of 4-6’s, so getting out of comfortable complacency allows you to experience and feel the 1’s so that when the pendulum swings back the 10’s are all the more sweeter. Congratulations to you Barbee on this amazing accomplishment! 👏🏼🥾

Yesterday, a group of Badgers took part in the Total Archery Challenge at Tyrol Basin in Mount Horeb, WI. They all met at the gym (not pictured Thomas) and this crew used the fitness they developed inside the gym to handle the tough climbs and aim with ease outside of the gym. Good job all! 👏🏼🏹

Another congratulations is in order for the recent engagement of member Katie + her fiancé Jack! 🍾🥂

We are so happy for you both as you embark on this exciting new chapter together as fiancées and wish you nothing but love and fun as you plan your wedding! 💒

Cheers to you both!! 💕💍

At Badger, we foster an environment where we lift each other up, celebrate milestones, and lend a helping hand during challenges. Together, we amplify our strength, resilience, and collective spirit. The journey isn’t just about personal achievement; it’s about sharing experiences, supporting others, and growing stronger as a community. In need of a community? Send us a message!

Weekend Warrior’s crushing it this weekend! ⚡️

🔥Congrats to back to back Door County Sprint Triathlon participant Roy Sadler! Although he says he is not a good swimmer, runner, or cyclist, he used CrossFit to get in shape, then work on those other forms of fitness outside the gym.

🔥Congrats to Chris Foley for also competing in the Door County Sprint Triathlon - his first ever!

🥳 No matter the distance, a triathlon is no easy task and you both should be proud of your efforts!

🚣Rounding out the weekend, our Badger 🦡 Paddle Group got together today for the second time this season to paddle on the Ocomomowoc River and to the Oconomowoc Lake and back for a 5 mile trek!

Our first ever New Member Mingle was a success! 🥳

It was so fun to hear from brand new members and OGs on their journey to Badger 🦡 and why they signed up for CrossFit in the first place. 👏🏼

You all inspire us and we are so thankful to have you in our community! 🫶🏼

Stay tuned for the next one in October! 🗓️

🌟 Laser focus on YOUR journey, not someone else’s.

In a world of filters and highlight reels, it’s easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to others, beating ourselves up for not topping the leaderboard, or not being competitive enough with someone “close to our level of fitness” in a workout...that no one will remember. 📈

Your journey is unique and special and your body is incredible for all that it can do. The more you can turn your focus inward and celebrate your progress, no matter how small, the better. Just showing up when you don’t feel like it – that’s a victory! Own it. 🚀

2024 is more than halfway done...
..Maybe you think you need to be in better shape before joining CrossFit...Maybe you have a hard time putting yourself first...Maybe you said tomorrow I’ll start...Maybe you are sick and tired of being sick and tired...Maybe you just moved here and don’t have many friends yet...Maybe you haven't carved out time for your health.

None of the above should hold you back - we will meet you where you are at. There’s no better time to start than NOW!

Whether you’ve been thinking about it for months or just feeling the spark, your fitness journey begins today. Commit to your health, your strength, and your goals. Let’s finish this year stronger than we started! 🔥

Milwaukee Community! Within the past 2 months we recently had our website redone, and because of that switch had a short time frame where our inquiry feature was not working. If you reached out in the past 2 months to get started with us and never heard back from someone, please submit again and we are so sorry for the delay!!!

Congratulations are in order for the recent engagement of members Danny + Lindsey! 🍾🥂

We are so happy for you both as you embark on this exciting new chapter together as fiancées and wish you nothing but love and fun as you plan your wedding! 💒

The only thing better than finding a soulmate, is finding your swolemate in that person too. 💪🏼

Cheers to you both!! 💕💍

We celebrate the birthday milestone of every member, but this one is extra special today.

Suzie is our oldest member at 77 years young. She is the epitome of defying odds and continues to move which allows her to age gracefully.

Suzie does not accept the stereotypes:
❌Too old to exercise
❌You shouldn’t do CrossFit
❌Comparing other members abilities to hers
❌Someone else should take care of your yard and multiple gardens
❌You shouldn’t lift that, it’s too heavy

Not only that, she knits, sews, cooks, volunteers and is always thinking of other members with her thoughtful gifts of quilts, clothing, and treats.

Happy Birthday to you, Suzie!! 🎉🎉🎉

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸As we at BCF unite together in fitness, let us unite as Americans as well.

We are excited to announce Erik and Ross to our team! Both will begin our CDP (Coach Development Program) to become more skilled in coaching human movement, where we emphasize a standard of excellence. Erik comes from 12 years of CrossFit, HIIT and bodybuilding coaching experience from Southern California and will have a more abbreviated CDP because of his experience. Ross comes from an athletic career and has been a part of the Badger Community already for 12 years and recently completed his CrossFit Level 1. Please congratulate both of them when you see them! 👏🏼🎉

Feeling so much love from this community. This is the 8:45 class showing up to celebrate Caiden’s miracle journey and second birthday with our family. (7:30 class not pictured… fail). 🎉

We are so grateful for the Badger community, the support we’ve received from you all over the last couple years, and how you entrust us as coaches to help facilitate your growth both inside and outside of the gym. 🙏🏼

Thanks for joining us in celebrating our tough little Caiden, the Lion Man! 🦁

Much love from the Notch family! 🫶🏼

Happy Birthday to Coach Richard! Your wealth of knowledge, positive attitude, willingness to help all, excitement, punk alternative beats, and love of cats, just to name a few, is second to none! We couldn’t be more grateful to have you at Badger and all that you do, including onboarding new athletes, adding Engine and a 6-week weightlifting class to the mix. Thanks for all you do, and today we gladly celebrate you! 🎉

A Letter to the Badger CrossFit Community

Dear Badger CrossFit Family,

It is with overwhelming and mixed emotions that I write to you today. As many of you know, Badger CrossFit has been more than just a gym to me; it has been a community, a second family, and a place where we have all shared in each other's victories and supported each other through challenges. Over the years, we've built something truly special together.

Today, I want to share with you an important and heartfelt decision. After insane amounts of thought and consideration, I have decided to pass the torch and sell Badger CrossFit to someone who I believe embodies the spirit and passion that makes our community unique. Tina has been a dedicated coach, friend and loyal person of Badger CrossFit and I am confident that she will lead our community with the same love, dedication, and enthusiasm that has been the foundation of my gym.
Tina has shown tremendous commitment and a deep understanding of what Badger CrossFit means to all of us. Her vision for the future of the gym aligns perfectly with the vision and values I hold dear—community, service before self, humbleness, growth mindset and care. I am excited to see how she will continue to nurture and expand our Badger CrossFit family.

I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. Your unwavering support, camaraderie, and support has been the heart and soul of Badger CrossFit. I have been incredibly fortunate to witness countless transformations, not just in terms of fitness but in the confidence, marriages and friendships that have blossomed here.

As a 27 year old kid back in 2010, I had a vision of creating something in Wauwatosa that would allow people to get in the best shape of their lives. And I did that. Successfully. But only because of the coaches and the people who trust us each day walking through those overhead doors!

As I step away from my role as owner, please know that this decision was not made lightly. In fact, many many many sleepless nights, tears and nerves were had. But It is driven by my belief that Tina is THE right person to lead us into the next chapter. Please know, I am NOT saying goodbye, as I will always be a part of this amazing community. You will still see me around, cheering you on and celebrating your achievements, working out, coaching my private clients, and of course still helping you all with anything you need.

Change can be challenging, but it is also an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. I have no doubt that under Tina's guidance, Badger CrossFit will continue to thrive and remain a place where everyone feels welcome and empowered to be their best self.

Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your fitness journey and for making Badger CrossFit a place where we can all achieve our best selves. Where I could achieve my dreams and goals. Where you could feel incredibly fit, happy, healthy, and eager to show up daily!

Please join me in welcoming Tina as she takes on this new role. Together, let’s continue to build on the strong foundation that has been created and make the future of Badger CrossFit even brighter.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tyler

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing Badger 🦡 dads. Lucky are the kids who feel the love, support, and strength only a dad can provide each day. We hope you feel the love today and every day!
