  • Coach Joni is one of the lucky ones who truly loves her job. She gets the opportunity to lead @inovachildrens where their teams do amazing things each day to help kids get better. Last year her worlds collided, and one of those kiddos was the newborn son of two very good friends of hers who are also old time members and family to our gym. Calvin was born with a transpositions of the great arteries and a coarctation of the aorta, which was repaired with open heart surgery when he was just days old. Just weeks after he was born, our community and members from CrossFit Reston showed up alongside Dave (a super new dad!) And tan the Inova StarKid 5K while Cal was still recovering in the ICU. Of course, and this doesn’t come as a surprise to anyone, Dave beat just about everyone. Both gyms had a great showing in support of Cal and all the kiddos out there that benefit from the care at a iNova. This year everything is different with the Rodriguez family. Cal is a year old and he is happy, HEALTHY, and absolutely awesome. @inovachildrens continues to provide outstanding care for the children of our region—while facing Covid-19 at the same time. This years 5k will not be put on hold because of Covid. As a gym, a community, and larger members of this area that we live in we are asking you to register at Inova.org/5k, pick a team or start one in support of all those kiddos out there like Cal. Run it on your own and submit your time by 5/31. Joni (and all of your coaches) are especially calling out all @crossfitreston and @crossfitfairfax friends to get out there 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃🏾! #starkid #starkidgoesvirtual
  • Member Spotlight: “When I started CrossFit, I honestly couldn't hold a barbell or perform a burpee and I didn't even have a proper pair of shoes to do a rope climb. When I joined, I had a very stressful job that took all my energy out of me and the volume of stress turned me into a guy who drinks a whole bottle of wine and smokes hookah every night. I can't describe the feeling I felt then. Crossfit for me is personal. Crossfit and in particular Crossfit Fairfax helped me to see my potential and helped me to stop smoking and drinking and pushed me to choose a healthier lifestyle, even though stopping smoking wasn't an easy decision. It took me about a year to fully remove myself from that lifestyle and adjust to a new athletic life. And in the end, I succeeded! This community and CrossFit activities helped me to reshape my lifestyle. For me, CrossFit is all about determination, believing in yourself and discipline. It takes lots of practice to be efficient at certain movements. For example, when I started I struggled a lot with my double unders, so every day after class I would come home and do 500 double unders before dinner. Eventually I made it work and got better at it. There is no quitting in CrossFit! Remember that! The biggest thing that has kept me going is the sense of community and friendship I have received from the Crossfit Fairfax community. I have met so many amazing people and made some wonderful friends. I am forever grateful to our amazing coaches and the outstanding coaching I've received throughout the past years. If it wasn't for Julie's continued encouragement and amazing classes from Jeff, Joni, Derek, Connor, Chris, Rachel, Adam, Craig, Sid, Kristen, Steve and so many others I wouldn't be at the CrossFit level I'm at today or where I am now. I'm grateful for the friendships and knowledge I've gained. I love each and every one of you and I am so proud of your resilience, dedication, and hard work. This community wouldn't be what it is without your contribution. You all are very special. You all inspire me every time I walk into those doors. Thank you, Crossfit Fairfax, to help me to find the best version of me.” - Mokha

  • Member Spotlight: “Growing up my brother and I were always very involved in sports. After graduating high school I extended my field hockey career collegiately. Like so many college athletes, once I graduated I felt alone and kind of lost without my team and my sport and everything that comes along with being a collegiate athlete. I quickly turned to long distance running which resulted in overuse injuries and so I began a monotonous routine of spending hours in a traditional gym. My old teammates frequently encouraged me to give CrossFit a shot, but I was intimidated about being the new kid on the block and fearful of getting injured. I finally worked up the nerve to sign up for a Foundations class at CrossFit Fairfax in September of 2019, and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I thought joining CrossFit Fairax would just be a journey of physical wellness (and it has!) but it has also turned into so much more. I’ve gained the strength to overcome not only the physical barriers in the gym, but the mental barriers that I struggle with outside the gym too. My anxiety, insecurities, and self-doubt that once crippled me have slowly turned into confidence, courage, and self love. I’ve gained friends that feel more like family, a community that rallies behind me, and a space that has allowed me to reflect and grow as a person, not just an athlete. The individuals that make up the community at CrossFit Fairfax have been so motivating and inspiring to me. Our gym is so diverse in that we have people that come from a variety of backgrounds, all with our own set of challenges that we each face, and manage to overcome each challenge with such positivity; it is truly admirable. You are all warriors! I'll end my lengthy spotlight with this: “Remind yourself of what you’ve been able to overcome. All the times you felt like you weren’t going to make it through, you proved yourself wrong. You’re more powerful than you think.”-Ash Alves • Thank you Crossfit Fairax for helping me find my power again. I’m truly grateful for each one of you.” - Haley McBee #crossfit #crossfitcommunity #crossfitathlete #collegiateathlete
  • Beat The Coach Challenge #3 -Run a 5k for a great cause. Coach Joni is challenging us to clock a 5k for Inova’s Annual StarKid 5k, which benefits Inova’s Children’s Hospital. Last year, within days of being born, Calvin Rodriguez had open heart surgery. He is the son of David (DRod) and Lauren Rodriguez. He is now a happy, healthy 1 year old. We would love you to join team CalRod and support a great cause. #inovachildrenshospital #teamcalrod #5krun #chdaware #chdwarriors #heartstrong
