We’re a committed, hungry group. We don’t shy away from discipline… we actually embrace it. And that dedication often shows itself when we set goals. We hard-charge them. Yet along the way, we will have detours. Sometimes they will be by choice – and sometimes by chance. Regardless, we need the step back to assess what we are feeling. We can beat ourselves up for losing the “original plan”, or we can embrace the new path ahead, well knowing the detour signs are ultimately leading us to where we seek. Committed to the destination, while flexible on the route.

DAILY MINDSET“75% Emotional, 25% Physical” It’s said that the hardest part about anything is starting. And that once we just take that first step, the successive action seems to just fall into place. And there’s absolutely merit to that… an object in motion tends to stay in motion (Newton). But beyond the surface we want to recognize the truth about us as human beings… that we are emotional creatures. And that our ultimate success is less dependant on the physical actions we take, and more on the emotional backings behind them. We can conceptualize “successful action” in this way: 25% of it is the physical side. The actual hands in the dirt, grunt work. This stuff matters, of course. But these specific and granular “whats” only account to a quarter of the recipe. 75% of it is the emotional side. The story that plays between our ears as we’re underway. We’re going to hit bumps in the road, and how we internalize obstacles determines our path forward more than anything else. How do we respond when it’s a “bad day?”, and we’re missing every single snatch attempt?  When we think about it that way, successful action isn’t just about what we’re doing, and far more about how we’re doing it. Despite the battle being in our hands, it’s won in our mind.

ATHLETE SPOTLIGHT FOR NOVEMBER! Name: Rick HenryHometown: MarionvilleAge: 49 When did you first start training at CrossFit Republic and what brought you to CrossFit Republic?My wife Angela and I started doing what we thought was CrossFit about 4 years ago on our own at the Marionville gym. We realized rather quickly that we needed to be at CFR after a free weekend workout. That we weren’t going to reach our potential alone (we needed the community). Tell us about your sports & fitness background:I played football in high school and have been doing the Muscle & Fitness workouts in my 20’s and P90X in my 40’s How did you first get exposed to CrossFit?I was online looking for something new to do as P90X was getting old. I came across this new crazy routine and started following the CFR website doing what we could with the equipment we had. What was your first workout, and how did it go?We finally decided to go try a real CrossFit gym after 3 years of working out on our own. It was a Saturday Hero Workout with heavy deadlifts, wall balls and box jumps. I thought I was going to die but left knowing we weren’t getting it done on our own. We knew about the CrossFit movements but didn’t realize what we were missing with the people. Favorite Movement/Least Favorite Movement:I really don’t have a favorite movement. They are all about the same with pros and cons. But I really dislike snatching... Read More

NEW MONTH, NEW CAUSE!!! This December, for the holiday season, we are happy to partner with Books for Africa to provide age-appropriate books to kids in Uganda. Every 5 check-ins or reviews on Facebook to CrossFit Republic this month will provide the gift of a book to a child.

First day of GRIT Bootcamp is today! Sign ups are until midnight 11/29 as we start our 4 week intro Bootcamp on 11/30 on Mon/Wed/Fri at 10am! This coupled with daily CrossFit programming, we can’t wait to see the transformations! #CFRGRIT Strength – 15 minutes Building in weight, off the rack, complete 5 sets of 8 front rack lunges R/L=2 (aim to rest 2-3 minutes between sets) *If you pick up the bar, you must complete all 8 steps. Do not game this for one final max effort set, but rather use this for strength/volume training and embrace all 5 sets of 8. You need each of these sets to make positive gainzzz 🙂 DAILY MINDSET“There will never be better you, than you.” There is a lot to be said about authenticity.The first definition inside Merriam-Webster reads, “worthy of acceptance or belief.”If there’s one sure way to find failure in something, it’s through not being ourselves. It just doesn’t pan out in the long run. While we always remain a student, the harm lies when we blur the lines between emulating the traits of our mentors… with trying to actually be them. Our mentors do not wish for us to follow in their footsteps.Our mentors wish for us to go further. To blaze the path further than before. We have incredible leaders to guide us. But it is now on us to push even further. And there’s no one suited better for that, than you.

*ALL CLASSES OPEN! DAILY MINDSET“Live life on purpose”” – Simon Sinek As simple as this sounds, every action we take in our lives should have a clear and defined purpose. As an analogy, let’s use money. When we spend money, there’s a reason. Food for tonight’s dinner, a new pair of shoes, gasoline. It’s very easy to justify. We would never throw our money into the wind. Yet… we can often find ourselves doing so with our time. Unlike money, which can cycle back around on the next paycheck, we don’t get restocked on time. Be it a morbid thought, we know our days here are limited… time is our most precious, irreplaceable resource. As we move through our day, take an objective look at the actions we take. Like a CFO analyzing a day of business, reflect tonight on where we spent our time. Because at “years-end-summary”, when our time comes… let’s be proud about how we chose to spend those resources. We only get one chance to do so. Conditioning WOD – 35 minute cap For Time:25 Toes to Bar, 25 Box Overs, 2 Deadlifts25 KB Swings, 25 Wall Balls, 4 Deadlifts25 Toes to Bar, 25 Box Overs, 6 Deadlifts25 KB Swings, 25 Wall Balls, 8 Deadlifts25 Toes to Bar, 25 Box Overs, 10 Deadlifts KB 70/55Wall Ball 30/20Box 24/20Heavy Barbell: 335/235 Box 24/20Heavy Barbell: 335/235 *Scale Deadlifts with a weight that you would consider heavy, that if you were fresh you could complete a strong 3-5 reps...
