Congratulations to these two couples on their marriages last weekend!
And this group doesn’t look too bad outside of wearing gym clothes
On October 18th and 19th, two of our members, Matt Garrison and Nicolas White, celebrated their marriages. I had the privilege of officiating Matt and Sinead's beautiful ceremony in the mountains of North Georgia. This week, I’d like to share three elements of training and marriage that, in my view, go hand in hand:
Consistency and Effort: Both fitness and marriage require dedication. Just as progress in the gym demands regular effort, a strong marriage grows through continuous care, attention, and love.
Overcoming Challenges: Training and marriage come with highs and lows. Whether you’re pushing through a tough workout or navigating personal challenges, overcoming obstacles strengthens your resilience and deepens your bond.
Growth and Adaptation: Both marriage and fitness evolve over time. As lives and goals change, success comes from adapting together and continually working toward shared dreams and aspirations.
Wherever you are in your personel journey, these principles can apply to all areas of life. Stay consistent, put in the effort, expect challenges, and embrace growth. This cycle of dedication and resilience is one we return to again and again.

CrossFit Journal of the Week: CROSSFIT IS HEALTH: USING CROSSFIT TO REHAB AN INJURY
by Stephane Rochet
“….CrossFit rehab provides distinct advantages to more traditional protocols. As the athlete continues to perform workouts, they’ll experience faster healing times and less atrophy. Focusing on using this time to work on weaknesses enhances overall fitness by augmenting skills and strengths that would not have been developed otherwise. Finally, the mental anguish that nearly always accompanies an athlete’s downtime is significantly reduced. Rehabbing CrossFit-style is the way to go to not only overcome an injury but to come out of it better than before. The key points to remember if you get injured are:
Continue to do workouts consisting of a variety of functional movements performed at high intensity, modified around the injured area.
Take advantage of this time to work on weaknesses that have been ignored.
Once the injured area is ready, incorporate it back into workouts intelligently.
Remember that CrossFit is health, and sitting out for any length of time will impact overall health.
These simple principles are the key to implementing an effective rehab protocol. Those who have been injured but have the good fortune of rehabbing with CrossFit know that CrossFit is about more than being able to do certain movements with certain body parts. It’s about overall health that can continue to be achieved through infinite scalability, no matter the injury.”
