On the surface, solo training seems attractive, flexibility, freedom, privacy, but when you dig deeper, those benefits don’t hold up for most people. At BayWay CrossFit, we’ve seen thousands of members in Baytown transform their...Read More
When BayWay CrossFit first opened its doors in Baytown, Texas back in November 2012, we had one simple mission: help people in our community get stronger, healthier, and more confident. By May 2013, we officially became a CrossFit affiliate—and just a year later, in April 2014, we posted our very first photo on Instagram. That picture wasn’t...Read More
When the clock beeps at the end of your CrossFit workout, the training isn’t finished. What you do after class is just as important as the work you put in.

At BayWay CrossFit, we talk a lot about consistency. Not perfection. Not chasing the “perfect workout week.” Just showing up, again and again. Why? Because life happens. You’re going to have days where the workout doesn’t go the way you wanted. The weights feel heavy. The clock feels fast. Maybe you didn’t PR, maybe you...Read More

Whether it’s your workouts, your routine, your mindset—or even your creative projects like mine—it’s easy to slip into a rhythm of doing nothing. And once that rhythm sets in, it gets more and more comfortable to stay there. I hadn’t recorded...Read More
