Bestie Gains 💪❤️

There’s something special about sweating, laughing, and pushing limits together! When you get to train alongside your bestie, it’s more than just a workout — it’s shared energy, motivation, and pure fun.

At crossfit fortis, we’re all about that environment that harvests like-minded people — a place where you can sync up not only in your fitness goals but in your mindset, movement, and momentum! Whether it’s crushing a workout, cheering each other on, or laughing through the grind, having friends to share this journey with makes every rep even more meaningful.

A community that nurtures and uplifts one another is priceless — and that’s exactly what we build here every day. ❤️

A little while ago, Aimee and Will took a well-deserved getaway… and came back engaged! 💍❤️

The best part? Yes, the engagement itself is incredible news — but what truly made our hearts full was how excited and proud they were to come straight to the gym and share it with their fairly new WOD family. That kind of joy and connection is exactly what makes our community so special. 🏋️‍♂️💪

We’re beyond proud to be a part of their story and to see how quickly they’ve become such a big part of the Fortis family.

Huge congratulations to Aimee and Will on this amazing milestone — we can’t wait to celebrate all the moments ahead, inside and outside the gym!

(And no, this isn’t the actual proposal pic 😜)

Ready for a Change; The Right Fit? Let's Make It Happen.

At CrossFit Fortis, we don’t just coach workouts—we build transformations. Whether your goal is to get stronger, boost your energy, or finally feel confident in your body, our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way.

✨ Your journey starts with a simple step: the No Sweat Intro—a pressure-free consultation where we learn about YOU, your goals, and what’s held you back in the past.

From there, we’ll map out the right path—whether it’s group classes, personal training, or something in between—to help you succeed with confidence.

💥 Your story deserves more than a quick fix. Let’s build something lasting—together.

🔥 CrossFit Gives You Wings 🔥

There’s a difference between wanting results and actually putting in the work to achieve them.

Many people are still searching—feeling stuck, lost, and unsure of how to reach that next level. But those who have committed to CrossFit know a different reality. 💥

They’ve pushed through the tough days, shown up when it was hard, and trusted the process. And then—something clicks. The flow. The groove. That unstoppable momentum where the body and mind align. It’s a feeling like nothing else… almost like flying. 🪽

Not everyone gets there. Only those who decide to commit, to work, to grind. Those who step into the arena instead of sitting on the sidelines.

👏 Congratulations to all of you who’ve chosen this path—you’ve earned the wings that only hard work can give.

🌳💪 WOD in the Park – What a Season! 💪🌳

This past Sunday we wrapped up our final WOD in the Park of the season, and what a turnout it was! 🙌 It’s been such an awesome summer getting outside together, enjoying the sunshine, and tackling some workouts with a different twist.

From hills to sleds, every session brought a new challenge and fresh stimulus—and you all pushed hard every single time. 💥 It’s inspiring to see how everyone came together, had fun, and left a little fitter and healthier each day.

Until next season, we’ll see you in the gym… ready to keep that momentum going! 🔥

Most people don’t prioritize their health and fitness—until they’re forced to.

A diagnosis.
An injury.
A moment of feeling like your body is working against you.

It’s easy to put health on the back burner when everything seems fine. But what if we stopped waiting for the warning signs and started building a body and life we love to live in—now?

There’s a version of you 10 years from today that’s either going to thank you for taking action…
Or wish you had.

At CrossFit Fortis, we believe in proactive health—not reactive panic.
We train for longevity, energy, strength, and confidence, so you can live life to the fullest in the absence of disease and decline.

👉 Start before you’re “ready.”
👉 Start before you “have to.”
👉 Start because your future self deserves it.

We are here to help!!!

✨ Remember when moving was the best part of being a kid? ✨

We used to run across fields, climb trees, swing from ropes, and play until the sun went down—without a second thought. Movement was freedom, adventure, and pure joy.

But somewhere along the way, life slowed us down. We sit more. We work behind desks. We trade play for screens. And before we know it, movement becomes an afterthought.

It’s time to get back to the basics—the things that once made us feel alive.
✅ Jump up to grab a bar
✅ Walk, run, sweat, and breathe heavy
✅ Feel the rush of moving your body with purpose

Here at CrossFit Fortis, we LOVE doing these things—and we want you to experience it too. You’ll be surprised how quickly you feel the difference: lighter physically, clearer mentally, accomplished, and genuinely happy.

Let’s bring back that playful, bold movement we all remember. Your body will thank you, and so will your mind. 💪🔥

"CrossFit Fortis’ Diapers & Dumbbells program was exactly what I needed after my third baby was born and I realized it had been 7 years since I had been to a gym. The coaches are supportive, kind, and make sure every workout is safe and effective for each individual. I felt stronger every week and loved being part of a group of moms, all in it together. I would highly recommend the program to any new mom looking to get into fitness, no matter their current abilities. And since 12 weeks just wasn't enough, I'm happy to continue into the next phase of my CrossFit adventure at Fortis. This gym is for everyone."

Results come in many forms.

Sometimes, the scale tells the story. Other times, it’s the belt notches, the looser fit of your clothes, or the confidence you feel when moving through your day.

This belt is a perfect example — progress that isn’t just measured in pounds, but in inches and prongs. Each shift represents consistency, effort, and showing up day after day.

At CrossFit Fortis, that’s what we strive for with every member: results. The kind of results you’re looking for. You bring the work, we bring the coaching, expertise, and support — and together, we’ll keep moving that notch forward.

Lifting heavy is a powerful way to build strength, muscle, and confidence—but only when it’s done with purpose and proper form. Chasing numbers too early or letting ego take over often leads to injury, frustration, and missed training time.

Good technique keeps you safe, efficient, and progressing over the long term. Before you add weight, build control. Before you chase a personal best, earn it through consistency and movement quality.

The strongest athletes aren’t the ones who lift the most once. They’re the ones who lift well, recover well, and stay in the game for years.

If you want help improving your form, building strength safely, and training with a purpose, reach out. We’ll help you move better, lift smarter, and get stronger for life.
