Three weeks, three teams, only one winner.  Welcome to the final Roots Intramural Open Week Score Report, where we share the highlights from week 3 and announce the 2025 Roots Intramural Open CHAMPIONS! In the final week, a hard-fought battle between team spirit, team challenges, and 25.3 workouts ensued. Each team showed up and we discovered some real fit, creative, and talented athletes.  If you missed the Hobby Horse Showcase, all teams put on unforgettable performances! But, it was Fez Around and Find Out’s night! Taynacious P took home 50 points for overall craftiness but Fez Around and Find Out snagged the remaining 150 points — although Connor argues they should have taken all 200. 😉 SO. MANY. CLASSES.

That is the...Read more

We’ve held our fair share of them and will continue to do so, as they have tons of benefits to them and they are a vital part of any effort to make long-term changes to your fitness and health. In the same way training at Roots isn’t a one-time perfect sprint – it’s a series of acquiring more habits that deliver long-term, consistent results – we know that the same efforts and mindset can be applied to building food and lifestyle habits that also deliver consistent and amazing results. Exit: “habits in/habits out” ENTER: THE NOT A CHALLENGE HEALTH CHALLENGE After working with hundreds of athletes and understanding what drives long-term behavior and performance improvements, we’re introducing a 3-month guided event to help you...Read more

Dear Roots Crew,  The 2025 Open is here! CrossFit Roots currently sits eleventh in the world for member Open participation! Congrats to the 217 Roots athletes who signed up to participate, and thank you for representing Roots! For many, the Open serves as a reminder of what our bodies can do and how hard we can push.
