I was reading a book the other day when I was reminded of another book we had to read in college. A quote from it stuck with me: “To be weak is miserable, doing or suffering.” This line from John Milton’s Paradise Lost hits hard because it’s so true. Life is challenging, both physically and mentally, and if we’re not prepared—if we’re weak in body, mind, or spirit—it can make everything so much harder. But here’s the thing: being strong isn’t just about lifting heavy weights in the gym. It’s about building resilience for whatever life throws your way. When Milton talks about weakness, it’s not about failure or being less-than. It’s really about not being ready for the challenges ahead. Think about it: when you’re physically weak, even small tasks can feel overwhelming. Carrying groceries, running after your kids, or even climbing stairs can leave you drained. And when...

Hey BayWay Crew, You’ve probably heard the phrase, “It’s easier to keep the ball rolling than to start the ball rolling.” When it comes to fitness, this couldn’t be more true. Momentum is your best friend. Once you’ve built the habit of showing up and putting in the work, it’s much easier to keep going than it is to stop and start all over again. Here are three simple ways to keep your ball rolling and stay consistent at the gym: 1. Book Your Classes Like Non-Negotiable Appointments Life gets busy, but treating your workouts as appointments you can’t skip keeps you accountable. Plan your gym schedule each week, just like you would a meeting or a doctor’s visit. You’ll thank yourself later when you see the progress you’ve made from consistent effort. (this also means do not cherry pick workouts lol) 2. Celebrate Small Wins Consistency doesn’t mean being...

At BayWay CrossFit, we’ve seen it time and time again: people complicate nutrition. They think they need to overhaul their entire life to eat healthier, and in doing so, they quickly get overwhelmed and fall off track. But what if we told you that improving your nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated? It’s not about drastic changes—it’s about making small, strategic shifts that create long-term success. We call this approach the 2mm Shift. The Long Game of Nutrition Nutrition is a long-term game. You didn’t get to where you are now by eating poorly over the past month. Most likely, your current habits have developed over years. So, instead of trying to change everything overnight, we start with one tiny change—a 2mm shift. Just like in CrossFit, small, consistent efforts over time lead to significant progress. And this shift? It begins with breakfast. The Breakfast Shift: Start Your Day Right...

At BayWay CrossFit, we know that life is busy. Everyone has work, kids with extracurriculars, family commitments—you name it. But here’s the truth: time is not an excuse; it’s a matter of priority. The real challenge lies in your willingness to make time for your fitness. The easiest way to make time for yourself? Plan for it. You already know your work schedule and your kids’ activities. If you can plan your meetings and practices, why not plan your workouts too? I’ve been going to my kids’ practices lately, and I can’t help but notice that many parents are caught in a cycle of inactivity. It’s not that they don’t care—it’s that they haven’t made time for themselves. But as parents, we never want to find ourselves in a position where we can’t physically support our kids—whether today, tomorrow, a year from now or even 15 years later. Prioritizing your...
