Our thROWdown, Semifinals, and Spring Competitions.

We thROWdown Sunday, April 13

And we’ve already raised over $4,000 in athlete scholarships for Feast members in need. Special thanks to our sponsor John Furjanic of Thrivent!

Want to join a team of 10? There’s still time! You can e-mail Greg at greg@feast-fitness.com.

Boats take off in 2 heats: 8:30am and 9:00am. Feast will provide coffee and fruit to keep you powered throughout our event. 

Carmen, Mason, and Val qualify for CrossFit Semifinals

This means they were in the top 1-2% of Open finishers in either their age group or division. What an accomplishment!

Yes, these athletes train hard every single day. But they also show up with gratitude and humility, 100% engaged in our community values. We look to them for inspiration and encouragement, and they never let us down! We’re so proud of you all.

You’ve Made An Impact!

This quarter, our community has found more than one way to lift up others. 

We raised $2,200 from the Open Open for GLSEN, a national organization dedicated to building safe, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ students in physical education, sport, and play environments. We also raised $4,000 in scholarships for Feast members in need. 

Thank you for your continued support in improving equity and accessibility in training. 

Have you noticed what’s new around Feast?

Our additional bike racks have arrived, just in time for warmer weather! Lock up right outside our front doors. 

Plus, our new outdoor rig has arrived and is ready for use! Are you ready for more rope climbs this summer…at eye-level with the brown line?

Coach Terri is cookin’ up something good…

Coach Terri is The Midnight Baker

What started as a late-night love affair with mixing, kneading, and experimenting in the kitchen has grown into a passion-fueled micro-bakery dedicated to creating handcrafted sourdough bread, sourdough-fueled treats, pastries, and health-conscious baked goods. At The Midnight Baker, every loaf of bread, cookie, and pastry is made with intention and just the right touch of indulgence. As a trained pastry chef, and an avid crossfitter, Terri wanted to also offer some tasty “healthier” treats as well as traditional baked goods. 

Starting this spring, you can find The Midnight Baker table in the Feast Lobby on Saturdays. You can also follow her baking adventures, find out about new items, and pop-up events by following her on Instagram @territhemidnightbaker
