Let’s talk about injuries. It’s a topic we often ignore because it’s not fun or glamorous. But let’s face it, if you have any level of experience in fitness or athletics chances are you’ve had some sort of injury along the way. Whether it’s something minor as nagging elbow pain or major as a torn ACL, it’s not fun. Right when you feel like you’ve hit a stride in your training process, you get sidelined from an injury that often times can be prevented. Sound familiar? Lets great into this a bit more. There is nothing inherently dangerous in CrossFit training anymore than there is playing a pickup game of Soccer. Anytime you are training, whether it be with a barbell overhead or a ball in your hand, you run the risk of injury. Athletes at any level can attest to this. Oftentimes injuries happen outside of the gym as...Read more

For the past few years, we have allowed dogs inside our gym and have been pretty lax on the rules. It’s finally time we are all on the same page about what our official policy is here at BCF regarding dogs. 1: Is Boulder CrossFit dog friendly? Yes, absolutely, we love dogs! I have a 2-year-old husky who loves being in the gym while I workout. Dozens of our members own dogs as well as all of our coaches. HOWEVER, that being said please read the below Q&A’s. 2: Are dogs allowed inside the facility and if so, when? From here on out, dogs will NOT be permitted inside the gym before or during any portion of a class, open gym, or 24/7 hour access. The only time they are allowed inside is after the conclusion of a class when all the equipment is put away and it is safe...Read more

-First Zoom chat March 2020- As I sit here and write this, its been almost 1 year to the day since our lives, what seemed like overnight, were drastically changed. I’ll never forget that Monday in March 2020, where I stayed up all night thinking and organizing a gameplan for Boulder CrossFit on how we would get through these closures. I honestly did not know if our gym would make it through next month, let alone a full year. But here we are, one year later. Not only surviving as a local business but THRIVING! This blogpost is mainly about reflecting on this past year, being grateful for each and every one of our past and current members and getting excited about where BCF is going in the future. 2020 was a year of growth for Boulder CrossFit. While tons of gyms were struggling to keep their members happy, healthy,...Read more

It’s that time of year again. That’s right. It’s CrossFit Open Season! For experienced Crossfitters, you all know what we mean here. However, for the majority of people, you may be asking yourself, what is the CrossFit Open, and more importantly, why should we ALL participate in it? During non-COVID years, the CrossFit Open is a global competition spanning across 5 weeks with a total of 5 workouts. This year it’s modified to be 3 weeks and 3 workouts. It’s a time to see how all your hard work stacks up against your fellow gym-mates and people from other CrossFit affiliates. Each week we are given a workout to do both RX and Scaled from CrossFit HQ in which ALL CrossFit affiliates will do no matter where they are in the world. That’s what the CrossFit open is but for most of us the better question is, why should I...Read more
