In CrossFit, routine is the enemy. This applies to the type of training we do, but not necessarily the frequency that we train. “How many days a week should I be coming?” is a question we get by almost every single new member at Roots. The answer is – as much as you can!  You won’t reap all the benefits of CrossFit only coming three times a week. This is a bare minimum. Our classes are an hour long. All we are asking is that you show up for an hour a day, the days of spending countless hours on the treadmill and elliptical are over! Should you still come if you are sore? YES. Should you still come if you are feeling a little tired? YES. (More on this later) Remember – the workouts are always scalable, and our trainers do a phenomenal job of tailoring the workouts to...Read more

Whether you’re new to Roots or have been a member for a while, here is everything you need to know about managing your reservations at Roots. We provide members access to two different apps, Zen Planner and SugarWOD, and YES, YOU NEED THEM BOTH! Creating and Managing Reservations: ZEN PLANNER APP Create and manage all your reservations in the Zen Planner app. NOTE: Previously, SugarWOD created the ability to manage reservations within their app however, in the last several months, the canceling reservations feature has become inconsistently available. For this reason, manage all reservations in the Zen Planner app. If you have deleted this app, please download it and contact [email protected] if you need a password reset. Why do I need two apps? Zen Planner is for managing reservations, signing up for member clinics, updating payment information, etc. SugarWOD is for logging your workouts, dishing out fist bumps, leaving comments...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
