A lot of careful consideration goes into selecting who receives our gym's member of the month award. The recipient should be someone who exemplifies our gym values, supports other athletes around them, is actively involved in our community, and is overall a joy to be around. The truth is it is never an easy decision with all the amazing people we have the privilege to coach and get to know every class.... Here's one last shout out to the #TeamACF MOM class of 2020 - thank you all for being so amazing and inspiring all of us to (Be)tter every day throughout this challenging year! January - Diana Rivera February - Shaaf Syed March - Melyssa Sweet (and co-mom Ralphie) April - Jim Romanski May - Briana Vogel June - Ed Walsh July - Alisa Cianfarani August - Sanjay Chemarla September - Nicole Hume October - David Kunzelman November - Sarah Hume December - Jason Kirby #bebetter #crossfit #memberofthemonth

We are extremely sad to announce that Minny passed away yesterday. Minny was a friend to all who came to the gym. It didn’t matter if you were the mailman, stopping in for a CrossFit class, or coming in to play racquetball, Minny was happy to see you (especially if you gave her treats and belly rubs). We still remember those early days when Minny first arrived to the gym. As a puppy she was an escape artist, running enthusiast, and master of the game hide and seek. Her ...favorite thing to do was to have the entire coaching staff chase her down sand creek road or look for her around the neighborhood. She wasn’t always allowed to come down to the WOD space. But, Minny was stubborn and would often sneak down anyway to be where all the action was and to spend time with her friends. During warm-ups she would offer a wet nose of encouragement. During the workout she would count reps to make sure everyone did all their burpees. Post-workout she would help clean up by licking sweat off your leg. We will certainly miss our gentle, droopy eared friend hanging out at the gym with us. Please keep Coach Shye in your thoughts through this tough time. If you have a story of Minny that you would like to share we would love to hear it. See more

He frequently asked many questions (still does!) about the movements, lectures, and his goals a great quality for any athlete to have. Some time later he too...Continue reading
