Most of us really want to do our best for our team and ourselves during Friday Night Lights. That being said, in order to perform your best you need to set your body up for success the week/days leading into Friday night Open. Here is how I would normally attack the week leading into the competition. Monday and Tuesday I would attend class and hit the workouts HARD just like a normal week. Wednesday, I would still take the class but if I’m feeling beat up/sore I would drastically scale back the weights AND my intensity by a solid 60%. The key here is to move with intention but NOT beat your body up. Thursdays can be tricky. I recommend either taking the day off from the gym altogether (but still doing some mobility at home) or coming into the gym and going very very easy on all movements. Some...Read more

Whether you are officially signed up for the CrossFit Open or still thinking about it, this post is for you. We will describe what to expect over our 3-week in-house competition. As always reach out to any coaches or Zach for clarification. CrossFit HQ will release the 1st workout on Thursday, Feb 16th. The next day, Friday, Feb 17th our 6am, 7:15am and 12pm will have class as normal and will do the Open WOD. However, we will NOT have any judges or scorecards during these classes. This means if you are registered and on a team, we HIGHLY recommend coming to Friday Night Lights for the next 3 weeks (bring your friends and family to come to hang out, watch, and cheer you on). If you can only make it in the morning or at 12pm, that is totally fine. We will still count your scores. Friday at 4:15pm...Read more

What is the CrossFit Open?Click here for more information. The Open is essentially a worldwide competition where, for 3 weeks, all CrossFit gyms around the world do the exact same workout programmed by CrossFit HQ. On another level, it’s a time to celebrate all wins no matter how small or big. It’s a time to come together as a gym and push your teammates to new levels. It’s a time to embrace the fun and competitiveness within us all. And it’s a time to push yourself outside your comfort zone.When is the CrossFit Open? Each Thursday night for 3 weeks CrossFit HQ releases the workout starting Feb 16th then Feb 23rd and finally ending on March 2nd.

Prior to owning Boulder CrossFit, I was a CrossFit member at 3 different gyms for over 8 years. As a member, I always believed the owner should absorb every cost of running their business and I should never have to pay more than I initially signed up for. For the last 4 years, I’ve done exactly that.  Since the ownership change in 2019, we’ve added over 15k in new equipment/inventory. We’ve built our coaching team to 7 and have been able to slowly grow our community. We did all of this even during the COVID shutdowns in 2020 and through it all have not once raised membership rates.  That being said, after careful consideration, my team and I have decided to raise all memberships by an additional $6/month effective Jan 1st, 2023. Please see below for some FAQ’s.  1: Why are you deciding to raise rates now?  Simply put, it’s...Read more

The intention behind this post is to make sure everyone who enters our gym in Boulder, understands and is on the same page with one another when it comes to gym etiquette. These simple rules will go a long way to making our gym the best in town so please be sure to refer to them if there’s any confusion. 1: Show up on time to class. This means if class starts at 5pm and you routinely stroll in around 5:05pm then you are late. Not only will you miss important introductions on the workout but you’re literally cutting yourself short. Our classes and coaches plan around a full 60 minutes and you should too. We understand work/life may happen every once in a while but if you do show up late every week, then please just wait until the next class to attend. 2: Wait till EVERYONE is finished...Read more
