We’re another month closer to warmer weather and outdoor exercise! After an incredibly eventful February, we’re excited to keep the good vibes going in March as we prepare for the spring season.
Our next training cycle starts March 16!
We’re mastering the “Big 3” (Back Squat, Bench, and Deadlift) for our 500-1,000lb Club testing while building the engine for Murph with dedicated running and bodyweight conditioning. Expect a full overview soon!
Read on for the latest on what’s happening at Defined, from wrapping up Defined Intramurals to kicking off our Spring Endurance program—plus a spotlight on Coach Sergio!
Think of this as our annual benchmark. Just like a testing week or a heavy PR attempt, our Community Survey helps us measure our progress and see exactly where we’re getting stronger—and where we need to put in more work.
We’re asking for 5 minutes of your time to help shape the future of our programming, equipment, and culture.
Why your voice matters:
Thanks for being the best part of our community. Let’s make this year our best one yet!
The survey is open through Friday, March 20.
Get to know the coaches who make our Community Strong. This month we’re catching up with Coach Sergio Valadez, who joined Defined in 2015 and our coaching team in 2021.
Fun fact: When Coach Sergio first walked into a CrossFit gym, he could not do a single-under with a jump rope. Some even say he cannot do one to this day! (His words, not ours. 😂)
Hear Coach Sergio talk about his joy for coaching and his passion for helping others on their fitness journeys—with a lot of fun along the way.

Thanks to everyone who made our annual Defined Bingo Night an enormous success—we raised and donated $3,100 for the National Immigrant Justice Center.
This was our highest-fundraising year on record. Way to show up for our community—this is just another example of the community and culture that makes Defined #MoreThanAGym. 💙
Weeks 1 of Defined Intramurals & the CrossFit Open pushed and challenged us—two more weeks to go. We’ve got this! 🙌

This is a safe space: How are your New Year’s Resolutions going? If you’ve abandoned them, you’re not alone—roughly 80% of people quit their resolutions by the second week of February!
How do we create lasting change through healthy habits? In our latest blog post, we dissect the all-too-common challenge of sticking to our goals, well beyond the new year.
