Back again for 2025, we proudly present to you, the Great Attendance Challenge of 2025. It’s simple. We challenge you to attend 225 group classes at CrossFit Roots in 2025.  Why? Because consistency matters. A simple daily effort with solid overall effort will make one of the largest lasting impacts on your long-term fitness and health. So here’s how it works. Go to class. Sign-up in Zen Planner. Check in when you arrive at the shop. We’ll tally your progress throughout the year and let you know if you’re on track in the monthly newsletter.  All group classes and personal training sessions count toward your total. Open Shop, workouts done at home, a hike – they don’t count. Don’t even ask. Sorry, not sorry.  What happens if you do hit that 225 mark? We’re glad you asked. For all of you who earn that magical number of 225 – we’ll enter...Read more

On behalf of the entire CrossFit Roots coaching staff, we want to be the first to welcome YOU to the 2025 CrossFit Open. Registration is now OPEN. Each year, for three weeks, the entire gym comes together for our yearly dose of motivation, inspiration, firsts, and yes, a damn good time. Whether you’ve just finished your Foundations Course or you’ve been here for a decade, we want you to participate. Last year, 230 Roots athletes signed up to participate and throwdown on our in-house intramural competition, making CrossFit Roots one of the top affiliate participations in the world. If you’re not sure what this is all about, talk with a coach or any of the 230 Roots athletes who threw down last year. Or just sign up – we promise you won’t regret it. Bring the hype, because this is going to be a damn good year at Roots for...Read more

Calling all judges! We’re looking for a stellar team of volunteers to judge The Open workouts. Whether you’re already signed up for The Open and plan to compete or want to get involved in a different way, the judges MAKE The Open a huge success.  Soon, you’ll start to see many CrossFit Judges Course certificates grace the front desk as we head into The Open. Like proud parents hanging their kids’ artwork on the fridge, the coaching staff couldn’t be happier than when our athletes choose to take the course. The judges course is required for all affiliate managers who will validate Open workouts. It is recommended, yet not required, for individuals who will judge athletes in the Open, to take the course. At Roots, we have always made it part of our Open process that any individual who wishes (and we thank you for judging!) to judge athletes in The Open...Read more
