Dear Roots Crew, Happy May! The weather is warming up, we’re flying the doors open now through October, and we’re gearing up for a kickass summer. But first, I am excited to let you know that we will be transitioning to a new member management platform in June! That means we’ll be moving from ZenPlanner to PushPress. I never make these decisions lightly, knowing that it means another change for all of you to adjust to. However, the benefits of this new system for members and coaches are worth the tradeoff of learning a new app. So, please read below so you are IN THE KNOW about how to get the new app and (probably most importantly) so you can sign up for classes come May 25th! We will send a follow-up email in the next few weeks detailing all of the fun new features of this new platform. Don’t...Read more

What’s up Roots Crew! We had so much great information to deliver in April that we decided to split it into two parts. We’re just 41 days away from Murph, and the fundraiser t-shirt is now available for pre-order. Check out the design below, which features Allegiance Ranch on the sleeve. And, after receiving great feedback on the coworking space, we have a number of fun updates to the space and its use. Check them out! And lastly, for all the tech gurus, we have a unique volunteer opportunity for you to be at the forefront of a wearable device that will advance workout tracking capabilities for CrossFitters.

What’s up Roots Crew! It’s hard to believe that the Open wrapped up just 15 days ago. A big, giant, huge thank you to our incredible team of commissioners and captains who led the charge and made this a super fun, exciting, and memorable Open. Thank you to the fantastic team of Josh, Leia, Steve, Sarah, Paige, Taylor, Shayna, and Neeb. Thank you to all the athletes who signed up, put yourselves out there, rode a hobby horse, bowled your heart out, bobbed for apples, cheered on someone you barely knew, and earned PRs and firsts. The 219 Roots athletes who competed in the Open earned Roots the title of largest affiliate participation in the North America West region (12th worldwide)! As everyone awaits the start of real spring, it’s time to start thinking about Murph. Be sure to read up on this annual event that neatly puts on display...Read more

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. In all three weeks, Team Taynacious P consistently accumulated the most class attendance points each week and we wonder… might there be a correlation between this and their top performances? 2,056. That is the...Read more

We’ve all done it – the four-week challenge that leaves us looking shredded only to slide back a few months later. We’re not knocking short-term challenges. 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
