September is here and soon we’ll have a nice, brisk chill in the air to enjoy when we’re running through the park. As we wrap up Cycle #7, we’ll enter a deload week before diving into our next cycle — expect a write-up on what to expect in the coming weeks.

Read on for great stuff happening in and outside our gym this month — plus a feature on fellow member and athlete, Nicole Davis!

Learn the Lingo: Acronyms & Terms You’ll Hear at Defined

If you’re new to Defined — or CrossFit in general — you’ve probably noticed that we speak a language of our own. From WODs to AMRAPs, the acronyms and shorthand can feel like a secret code. But don’t worry, we’ve all been there. At Defined, we’re all about building confidence through movement, and that includes helping you feel confident in the language of the gym.

We MAYed It | Upcoming Events

The lanai is open for training, and we’re past the final snowfall of 2021 (fingers crossed). For the first time in over a year, we’ve planned events: a fun mini-series curated by your coaches, annual workouts we cancelled in 2020 but revived for 2021, and a tribute gathering that remains at the core of our values. As we look ahead, we hope you’ll join us for First Fridays, Murph Day, and Big Floyd.
