Training for Life: Decision-Making Under Pressure
FREE 1-Hour Interactive Workshop for CrossFit Athletes
Saturday, April 11th @ 10:00am

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
* In training and in life, pressure is constant.
* Fatigue, stress, setbacks, competition, uncertainty.
* The difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling powerful often comes down to one thing: decision-making under pressure.
* This interactive workshop explores how athletes train their bodies and minds to make strong decisions even in high-stress moments, and how those same skills apply to everyday life.
* You don’t need to be a competitive athlete to benefit.
* If you train, lead, parent, coach, or navigate challenges daily, this is for you.

PARTICIPANTS WILL:
* Reflect on how they currently make decisions under stress
* Learn how fatigue, stress, and nervous system overload impact choices
* Explore how elite athletes train decision-making like a muscle
* Identify personal habits that support clarity and confidence
* Practice tools for resilience, discipline, and mental focus
* Leave with a simple personal action plan

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! :)

This weekend, Mike and Cody are heading to Miami to take on the HYROX Race! 💪🏃‍♂️

We couldn’t be more proud of these two for all the hard work, sweat, and dedication they’ve put into their training.

Let’s send them all the good vibes in the comments! 👏🎉

MEMBER OF THE MONTH: ADAM!

For 8 years, Adam has been showing up, putting in the work, and proving that consistency beats perfection.

From hockey, rugby, and firefighting to CrossFit, Adam brings grit, humor, and hard work to every class — whether it’s 6:30am, 5:00pm, or the “super secret” Clam sessions 🤫

His advice for anyone starting CrossFit:
“Just. Show. Up.”

Adam says CrossFit has taught him that your mind will tell you that you can’t do one more round… but you always can.

He loves lifting heavy things, hates the pull-up bar, and lives by the motto: “Scaling is Cool.” 💪

Outside the gym, Adam enjoys hockey, golf, fishing, boating, and spending time with his wife Shawna and their three kids, Hunter, Hannah, and Haylee.

What Adam loves most about Seaward:
“It feels more like family than just a gym. Everyone is supportive, inclusive, and helps build your confidence.”

We’re so lucky to have you in our community, Adam — and thank you to Jess for bringing him through our doors!

Huge congratulations to everyone who showed up and put in the work during the CrossFit Open 2026 💪

Week after week, you showed up ready to grind, push your limits, and do hard things—and that’s what it’s all about.

And to those who cheered from the sidelines, counted reps, and judged workouts… thank you. The Open doesn’t happen without you. It takes a full community bringing the energy, the support, and the accountability that makes this experience so special.

A special shoutout and BIG congratulations to Alan Bozian for earning the Spirit of the Open award 🏆 His grit and mindset during Open 26.2 was one of the most inspiring moments of the entire competition. That’s what the Open is all about.

At Seaward CrossFit, this is what we’re all about—showing up for ourselves and for each other.

Proud of every single one of you 👏🔥

03/24/2026

We believe everyone has the strength to do things they never thought possible.

We’re more than a gym — we’re a community built on:
✨ Personal Achievement
☀️ Relentless Optimism
🤝 Inclusiveness
🔥 Courage
💙 Solidarity

Every day, we show up for ourselves and for each other — pushing limits, celebrating wins, and proving that we are stronger together.

No matter where you start, you belong here.
And we’re here to help you grow stronger — inside and outside the gym.

Proud to serve and grow with the Sarasota community. 👊

✨ Meet Our Nutrition Coach: Dominique ✨

We’re excited to introduce Dominique, Nutrition Coach (NASM CNC, CPT) at Seaward CrossFit! 🥗💪

Dominique has always loved being active. Growing up she tried everything from soccer and tennis to ballet and gymnastics, but her biggest passion became figure skating, which she competed in as a teen and later trained for again as an adult.

In her 20s she spent 5–6 days a week strength training, which sparked her interest in athlete nutrition. After years of learning how nutrition impacts performance, recovery, and overall health — and working with coaches herself — she became a certified nutrition coach in 2023 so she could help others do the same.

Her philosophy is simple:
🥑 Focus on quality whole foods
🥩 Fuel your body for performance
📊 Build sustainable habits that last

💡 Dominique’s favorite post-workout refuel:
Rice or sweet potato + avocado + ground beef with fruit on the side.

💧 Hydration habit:
Start the day with electrolytes and finish a full water bottle before noon.

🏋️ Favorite movements:
Rowing • V-ups • Rope climbs

Outside the gym, Dominique loves long walks, reading, prayer and quiet time to recharge.

We’re so excited to have Dominique supporting our members with nutrition coaching to help fuel workouts, improve recovery, and build sustainable habits.

Next time you see Dominique in the gym, be sure to say hello! 👋race

🌟 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: TOMI 🌟

Tomi joined Seaward CrossFit just 6 months ago, stepping completely outside her comfort zone — and we are so glad she did. This was her first CrossFit Open!!

Growing up with asthma, Tomi says she was “the anti-athlete” who often sat out during PE. But once she got her asthma under control in her 20s, exercise became life-changing. What started as casual jogging turned into a 10+ year running journey, including multiple half marathons and two runs of the legendary New York City Marathon.

After years of running, yoga, and raising her two boys, turning 50 inspired Tomi to try something new and focus on strength training — which brought her to CrossFit.

💪 Favorite movements: Wall walks & learning barbell technique
🚴 Least favorite: The Air Bike (she’ll take rowing any day!)
📅 Classes: Morning crew – 6:30 or 7:30 AM

Outside the gym, Tomi loves spending time with her husband Travis and sons Gavin & Wes — beach days, boating, fishing, and cheering on the Florida Gators. She’s also a podcast lover and proudly admits her secret nerdy obsession… jigsaw puzzles.

What Tomi loves most about Seaward:
“The kindness of the members and coaches and their unwavering support.”

Her advice to anyone starting CrossFit:
➡️ Be open-minded
➡️ Ask for scaled options
➡️ Take it one workout at a time
➡️ Lean on the community

Favorite quote lately:
✨ “Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.”

Tomi joined to challenge herself — but gained something even better: a community.

Next time you see Tomi in the morning classes, give her a big high five! 🙌

🔥 FUELING FOR THE CROSSFIT OPEN 26.3 🔥

Seaward CrossFit Open 26.3 Saturday is here — and how you fuel can make a big difference in your performance. Your body needs the right mix of carbohydrates and protein to perform at its best.

💡 Pre-Workout Fuel Tip
According to exercise physiologist Stacy Sims, a simple guideline before high-intensity training is:

➡️ ~15g of protein
➡️ ~20g of carbohydrates

This combo helps support energy, muscle function, and recovery heading into intense workouts.

🥣 EASY PRE-WORKOUT IDEADS:
• Oatmeal + protein powder + blueberries
• Greek yogurt + fruit
• Rice cake with almond or peanut butter + banana
• Smoothie with protein and fruit

⭐ Coach Olivia’s favorite 🍌Go-to snack:
Rice cracker with almond butter + sliced banana

🥣 Don’t skip carbs
Carbohydrates are your body’s primary fuel source for high-intensity workouts. Think: oatmeal, rice, potatoes, fruit, or toast before training.

🍳 Include protein
Protein supports muscle recovery and helps keep you feeling satisfied. Eggs, yogurt, protein powder, chicken, or cottage cheese are great options.

Fuel well. Move well. Perform well.
Let’s have some fun this Open! 💪🔥

The CrossFit Open is here… and hydration matters more than ever.

If you’re throwing down Open workouts in Florida heat, you’re not just sweating — you’re losing sodium and key minerals that directly affect:

⚡ Power output
⚡ Muscle endurance
⚡ Recovery between attempts
⚡ Energy for the rest of your day

When electrolytes drop, performance drops. That bar feels heavier. Your engine fades faster than it should.

Don’t let dehydration be the reason you miss a rep.

Simple hydration strategies during the Open:
➡️ Add an electrolyte powder to your water during or after your workout
➡️ Coconut water post-WOD (Nutrition Coach Dominique, NASM CNC, CPT loves staying hydrated with coconut water 🥥💦)
➡️ Water + lemon + a pinch of salt
➡️ Add hydrating fruits like watermelon, oranges, pineapple, and berries 🍉🍊🍍

Hydration isn’t just about water — it’s about replacing what you lose.

The Open tests your fitness.
Show up fueled. Hydrated. Ready. 🔥
