CFN member, Katherine G., has been with us for a little over 3 years now and we have her then-boyfriend now-husband (and also CFN member) to thank for encouraging her to give CrossFit a try years ago. Katherine grew up playing sports, participating in intramural sports in college and has been a member of several different gyms throughout her years before landing at CFN. She admits nothing has stuck with her like CrossFit Northland. Katherine feels stronger and more in shape ...now than she ever has. Even with all of her prior sports and activity experience, Katherine has learned to do new things since starting CrossFit. We have enjoyed watching Katherine grow as an athlete at CrossFit Northland (doing handstand holds, lifting heavy weights, participating in competitions, working on strict pull-ups) and as a person outside of the gym (getting married, being a great mama, and now continuing her fitness through her current pregnancy). We are extremely proud and humbled that Katherine looks forward to her time at the gym each day. We, too, look forward to our hour with you, Katherine.

Because everyone needs someone in their corner...

Whether out of stress, anxiety, sadness, boredom, or grief, it's understandable why we turn to food for comfort. Food offers a very temporary solution to our suffering. What's more, most people who experience emotional eating feel trapped and guilty afterward, which just perpetuates the behavior. So if you're looking for real solutions to stress eating, we suggest creating a nourishment menu for yourself to reference during those stressful times.

To our Veteran's everywhere, thank you for your bravery and service. Today honor and salute to you! If you know a veteran, be sure to tag them below so we may recognize them for their service.

You likely already know this but it's worth repeating: sleep is absolutely crucial to your health. Sleep is important like nutrition and exercise when it comes to improving your health, performance, and body composition. Good sleep helps our bodies and minds recover, keeping us lean, happy, mentally focused, and healthy.... But chronically bad sleep slathers on body fat, screws up our hormones, ages us faster, increases chronic illnesses, and drains our IQ mojo. If you're experiencing any of the following, it may be a sign that your current sleep habits aren't working for you: Your mind is foggy; You're struggling with your weight; You're unhappy; You're getting sick a lot; or Your workouts feel too hard. If this sounds like something you struggle with, let us help! Schedule a free consultation with one of our coaches today. https://crossfitnorthland.as.me/nosweatintro
