Happy New Year! January is not just the start of a new chapter—it’s our birthday. On January 3, 2026, Defined Training officially celebrated 15 years. We wouldn’t be here without you, and we’re so grateful for the community you’ve helped create. Thank you for making us stronger.
To commemorate such a special occasion, we’re taking a trip down memory lane. Read on for some of the key milestone moments that make up our history!

We’re celebrating our anniversary all month long, and below you’ll find even more anniversary content—including a Coach’s Corner on Coaches Noal & Cara and an Athlete Spotlight on longtime member, Leslye Swigert.
15% off all single and group drop-ins and all drop-in packs! Enjoy this rate for the entire month of January.
We’re looking to recruit 20+ people to join us for a volunteering opportunity on Saturday, January 17 from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at The Giving Factory — Cradle to Crayons’ local warehouse where volunteers inspect, sort, and package donations made for children and families in need of clothes and other items.
Our first 4-week cycle of 2026 is here! This cycle marks the start of a critical 8-week macro-cycle specifically designed to prepare you for the 2026 CrossFit Open & Defined Intramurals, which begins on February 26.
We’re moving out of the holiday maintenance phase and into high-gear preparation. This cycle is all about building the structural and skill foundation needed for the Open, setting the stage for Cycle #2, as our official "Open Peaking Phase."
