AAhhh February…the month of L.O.V.E. It marks the month and the time to fall in love again…and you can find that love at CrossFit 45 North. Who will you be falling in love with you ask? IT’S YOURSELF!!
This month, get back to finding the love for yourself that has been lost. It is ok that maybe you have forgotten how to workout, it is ok that it has been months or years or even decades since you have done any active movements at all!! We have some pretty awesome trainers who are ready to get you back to loving yourself and feeling your best. Not only do we have the trainers to guide you and help you, we have the community to support you!
We have made it easy to get set up – Check out our NEW website www.crossfit45north.com where you can look around at what we offer and the community of people you will be joining. You can sign up for a Free Trial Class or you can get set up with the On-Ramp Program. The On-Ramp Program gets you 3 one-on-one training sessions with one of our trainers to learn all about the CrossFit movements and infamous CrossFit vocabulary. With this Program, you get one month of free CrossFit!
Grab a friend or come make some new friends on your quest to find the love that has been lost, the LOVE of yourself!! There is love within, let us help you rediscover it!

The Cup is Back up for Grabs in 2018! CrossFit 45 North Intramural Open & CrossFit Open Friday Night Lights!
CrossFit 45 North will be doing the 5 programmed CrossFit Open workouts internally, alongside the entire CrossFit world, (the CrossFit Open is a series of five workouts for athletes around the world to qualify for the CrossFit Games in August 2018). Each Friday night we will host an awesome atmosphere where athletes, at all ability levels, will be showing off their functional fitness at its very finest.
THE TWIST AND BEST PART
The twist is that each person who is committed to the 45 North Intramural Open, will be on a team. If you participated last year, you will remain on the same team (Team Anarchy or Team Prancercizers). If you are new to the Open and want to participate, we will place you on one of the two teams!
If you want to participate, the cost to sign up will be $10 (cash ONLY please) which should be given directly to a coach and they will place your name on the sign up sheet at the box.
***Note – For this in-house competition, the main emphasis of points will be on participation-NOT performance! If you are worried about “not being ready” – don’t be! All that is required is that you show up, do work, have fun and cheer on your teammates. As you will see in the rules below, all of the points will be awarded based on SPIRIT and PARTICIPATION!
Our goal is to make this a fun experience for everyone by bringing our community together, all while testing the hard work that we put in each week!
Be sure to wish these awesome members a Happy Birthday!!
From all of us at CrossFit 45 North – May all of your birthday wishes come true!
