Dear Roots Crew, Each time you come into CrossFit Roots, you’re committing to doing something hard. As coaches, we acknowledge that and respect it. CrossFit is hard. The hard work you put in at the shop extends into other areas of your life as you strive to prioritize, protect, and create opportunities to put your health and fitness first. At Roots, you schedule your workouts, prep your food on the weekends, and get babysitters so you can attend that fifth class for the week. You log 225 classes in a year, year after year. You run outside when it’s cold, rainy, and snowy, and you think cherry picking is for the weak. You’re OK putting yourself out there because in this house, you’re around your people, and that’s when breakthroughs happen. You know the value and daily motivation that comes from being around other like-minded athletes. Yes, YOU are an...Read more

Dear Roots Crew, Remember doing the Open back in March? Well, the final stage of the Open is upon us…the 2025 CrossFit Games kick off in Albany, New York, this Friday! Whether you consider yourself a CrossFit newbie, competitor, athlete, or proud member of the cult;), the CrossFit Games are for our community what the Super Bowl is for football fans. Although one key distinction might be that we “play” CrossFit daily at our affiliate – no armchair quarterbacks here. The CrossFit Games are the pinnacle of expression of what is possible through CrossFit in terms of fitness and sport. It’s relatable to every single one of us because we live it daily. This year, the GOAT, Tia-Clair Toomey, will be vying for her 8th championship title. She has won the Games six times in a row, her seventh win coming after taking a year off while pregnant with her...Read more

Dear Roots Crew, We’re excited to see everyone at the 4th of July celebration tomorrow, where we’ll also celebrate Roots’ 16th birthday. Of the 300 or so current Roots members, 89 of you have been training with us for 10 years or more. Coy and Dizon are on track to become the first two members to hit 3,000 class attendances. And Roots now sits among the longest-running affiliates (top 100) of the 14,000 worldwide. I say all this because the bedrock of these numbers is the work you have put in day in and day out, consistently, over many years. This is not normal. At a recent seminar I was teaching in Colorado Springs, someone lamented to me that they would feel weird or stand out if they didn’t eat the typical American diet. My reply was “yes” – to truly drive your health and fitness in this day in...Read more

Hey Roots Crew! I wanted to send out a quick update for the next two weeks. As you all know, Connor and Lindsay are headed out to get married and then head on their honeymoon and we are so excited for them! You’ll notice a few double classes condensed to a single larger class with one coach, but for the most part, it will be business as usual. And, we are excited to welcome Connor McDonald back to Roots! Connor will be here for three days from June 25-27, helping out with class coverage. You’ll see him on the schedule! The 2025 Roots Summer Tee Don’t forget to stop by the front desk this week to pre-order your summer tee! Orders can be placed on the clipboard at the front desk, and samples are available for try-on. Printed on a super soft Comfort Colors boxy tee, this shirt comes in...Read more
