SERVICE – CONSISTENCY – PURPOSE – HUNGER
Please help us in congratulating our SEPTEMBER #CONSISTENCY Member of the Month…
ASHLEY WALL !!!
** Brought to you by Reclaim Aesthetics & Wellness **
We asked Ashley to share a few words on what #CONSISTENCY means to her:
_
“Consistency for me has been setting a goal this year to be in class 3-4 days a week and over time it’s become just how I plan my days and weeks. Just showing up even on the mornings that are hard and working through it and doing what I can. Those days I’m the most thankful for getting myself up and to the gym. If I’m consistent then I should improve and be able to look back at my year and see how far I’ve come. The 5:33am crew makes it easy to want to be there. ”

Consistency is KEY. Whether it’s in the gym, in work, or in life, showing up day after day and giving your best promotes growth and life gains!
THANK YOU for being a CONSISTENT athlete, friend, and a joy to be around. the CFCW community appreciates you Ashley!

COMPLETE Strength BLOCK 2
Our Annual STRENGTH CYCLE is coming to a close. We have just a couple more weeks of putting in the work, followed by a BENCHMARK Week.
- Do your best to stay locked in and give your best effort in these final strength biased weeks – it will pay off big time!
Why is Slowing down and focusing on strength is so important?
- Strength is a key component to building muscle, which is the most powerful tool for raising metabolism and keeping to you lean FOREVER
- Strength training is FAR MORE EFFECTIVE for improving body composition compared to “metcons” or “cardio”
- Strength often “unlocks” the path to higher level skills and movements. If you want to do pullups, handstand push-ups, complete workouts as RX’D, have a big clean and jerk, and give yourself the potential to complete any workout or movement. Strength is the foundation
- Enjoy the slower paced strength sessions. Embrace the opportunity to focus on lifting heavier and perfecting movement. Let’s get STRONG!
Following COMPLETE Strength, we will move back to a Classic CrossFit block.

Here are a few good ways to prevent heat illness this summer:
- Stay hydrated properly with water and diluted electrolyte drinks (like DEFINE Hydrate etc.). When the body becomes dehydrated it loses its ability to properly cool itself.
- Make sure you acclimatize to your environment; if you spend all day indoors in a controlled environment you are more likely to suffer from heat related illness when you exercise in the heat.
- Remember to rehydrate after daily exercise; hydration is key to preventing heat related illnesses.
- Wear loose comfortable clothing; synthetics are best for wicking water from the skin.
- STOP when you need to STOP! Let a coach know if you are feeling sick, light headed or unwell!
