🌟 Age is just a number in the world of CrossFit! 💪✨ Meet two of our incredible members who prove that fitness knows no bounds. 👵👶 First, we have our longest-standing member, Lolly, who at 81 years young, has been with us since before it was CFA. She continues to amaze us with her dedication and strength. Her commitment to fitness serves as an inspiration to all, reminding us that it's never too late to start or keep pushing forward. On the other end of the spectrum, we have one of our youngest members, Trinity, who started at 15, now 18 years old, has already been embracing the CrossFit lifestyle. With energy and enthusiasm, she's setting a fantastic example that fitness is for everyone, regardless of age. These two individuals beautifully demonstrate that CrossFit transcends age barriers. It's a testament to the inclusivity and adaptability of the sport, allowing people of all ages to challenge themselves, build strength, and foster a sense of camaraderie. No matter where you are in life, whether you're young or young at heart, CrossFit offers an inclusive and empowering experience. Sign up today and join us as we break stereotypes, push limits, and celebrate the incredible diversity within our fitness family.

Meet one of our amazing athletes, Charity -How long have you been doing CrossFit? I started Crossfit at a box in Denver in July 2015. COVID led to a break of about a year and a half and I found CFA in June 2021. The short answer is just about 8 years. -How did you get into doing CrossFit? A good friend of mind had been doing Crossfit for a few years already and had heard me complain quite a bit about my health and fitness. She convinced me to come to a class to try it out and after much coaxing, I tried a class on a Wednesday evening and signed up the following Satruday and never looked back. -Any fun facts about you? Doesn't everyone hate this question?! I think everyone knows this about me, but I think it's important to say. I'm a therapist for mental health and substance use and have really seen over the last 8 years, and through COVID particularly, the importance of mindful, intentional movement on a daily basis. I won't ever say that exercise cures depression or other mental health issues. What I will say is that some type of daily, mindful, intentional movement can really improve someone's mental state, even if it is even a small amount. Biologically and evolutionarily speaking, we are meant to move and think/process at the same time. So get out there and get moving! -Any advice for someone interested CrossFit? Just do it! Not to directly rip off a Nike tag, but seriously, just do it. Crossfit gets such a bad reputation and is seen as a cult. What I see it as is a badass community of people who are all there to do the same thing, life heavy weights, get a good workout in and have an amazing support system around you. You get to do things that you thought you wouldn't be able to do, prove yourself wrong on a constant basis, and grow with the people around you. I have been fortunate that the two Crossfit communities I have been a part of over the last 8 years have been such inclusive and welcoming spaces and hope that becomes the reputation of Crossfit, not a cult where the first rule about Crossfit is you always talk about Crossfit (even though that part is true!). more fun facts about Charity in the comments👇🏻

MURPH….It's not just about completing the workout correctly or treating it as another routine exercise in our daily class. MURPH holds a deeper purpose - it is a workout that serves as a tribute to the brave men and women of the armed forces who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom. This is the very reason why we choose to do MURPH. By showing up today, you have the opportunity to express gratitude to those who have fought and continue to fight on our behalf. It's a chance to stand in solidarity with the families who will never see their loved ones again - sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, cousins, mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, and best friends. Let us give our all in this workout, just as those courageous individuals gave their all for us. Let’s make a meaningful contribution to honoring their sacrifice. #crossfit #crossfitarvada #murphtribute #honorthefallen #showupandsupport #gratefulforheroes #fitnesswithpurpose #rememberandhonor #familysofsacrifice #givingourall #thankfulforoursoldiers #fridaywithmeaning

Check out what one of our members had to say when we asked her what has our community done for you. “I always struggled with exercise. I was not ever an athletic person growing up. I would start a workout routine and it would last for a week. I was unhappy with myself and my body. A dear friend of mine dragged me to her CrossFit gym and I never looked back. I realized I had found my people. Quirky, fun-loving, hard-working people from all walks of life. I had found a community of people who care about each other and care if you're not there. I have learned more about myself and how to give gratitude to my body. I love CrossFit and it will be forever a part of who I am.” Charity M. #foreverpartofwhoiam #CommunityOfSupport #FitnessJourney #GratitudeForMyBody #CrossFitFamily #HardWorkPaysOff #NeverLookedBack #crossfitarvada

This is my Hell ya smile. 😁 Went in to the gym today thinking I was gonna take it easy. That changed real quick. And honestly it doesn’t take much to persuade me. I love a good challenge and I never regret a workout. And really I couldn’t let my best buddy do it by himself . That shit is hard (I did it yesterday). Besides I think we can all agree everything is more fun with friends. Get yourself a tribe that pushes you to do more when you don’t want to and supports you at the same time for when you don’t. And if you can’t find one I’ll be your person!👊🏻 PS I might be just as cool as you now @scottspearsarvada 😉 Thank you to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this nation!!! #murph #motivation #crossfitmurph #crossfitarvada #tribe #dohardthings #gymmotivation
