Summer isn’t just a season—it’s a state of mind. Longer days, brighter skies, and that unmistakable surge of energy invite you to take bold action. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start CrossFit, this is it. Here’s why kicking off your fitness journey this summer will set you up for success all year long.
Leverage Extended Daylight for Flexible Scheduling
Beat the heat with early or late classes
- Mornings: Catch sunrise at 5 a.m. group sessions before the sun climbs.
- Evenings: Unwind stress in our 5:30 p.m. classes when temperatures drop (But either way we have AC and BigAss Fans to keep your comfortable! 😉).
- Check the full class schedule and drop-in availability here.
Seamless work–life integration
- Longer daylight means you can slot in a WOD before work, on your lunch break, or after hours without cutting into family time.
- No more “too busy” excuses—summer gives you room to breathe.
Sunshine = Science-Backed Performance Boost
Mood & motivation
- Sunlight stimulates serotonin production, making intense workouts feel more enjoyable and less daunting.
- Studies show exercisers in natural light report higher satisfaction and consistency.
Vitamin D for strength
- Supporting bone health and muscle function, vitamin D is essential for strength gains and injury prevention.
- Even brief outdoor warm-ups can elevate your levels.
Warmer temps, safer joints
- Heat improves blood flow and tissue elasticity, reducing stiffness and lowering the risk of injury.
- Perfect for learning new movements under the eye of a certified CrossFit coach.
Ignite Momentum with Community Energy
Collective enthusiasm
- Summer classes here at CrossFit Fringe are packed with first-timers and seasoned athletes alike—everyone feeds off each other’s energy.
- High-five your neighbor after a PR or laugh it off when you miss a rep; this camaraderie is a built-in motivator.
Themed workouts & events
- From our annual “Murph” event to our summer biased "Suns Out, Guns Out" workouts, summer brings fresh programming that makes you look forward to every class.
Accountability that sticks
- Studies show group exercise adherence is up to 30% higher than solo routines. Your new summer squad will keep you honest and showing up.
Set SMART Goals & Track Summer Gains
Specific & Measurable
- Choose a target: “Add 5 lbs to my squat in 6 weeks” or “Complete a 500 m row under 2 minutes.”
Achievable & Relevant
- Align goals with your lifestyle—if you’re traveling mid-July, front-load your training blocks.
Time-bound
- Summer is a finite window—use that urgency to build habits.
Track via the CrossFit Fringe App
- Log every WOD, monitor progress trends, and celebrate milestones. (See our “Tracking Progress” blog for tips on using the app effectively.)
