Here are three nutrition tips to help you improve your performance in the gym.

We take our shoe game very seriously at NCFIT. Shape, support, performance, comfort, and style — if none of it makes sense, you won’t find it on our feet. So I polled our team of NCFIT coaches and fitness gurus for their favorite CrossFit training shoe of all time and it’s only fair we share our top picks with you.

Hitting a PR can make you feel like a superhero, but have you ever stopped to think about how fitness affects your mental health more than just the post-workout endorphins — although those are pretty great, too!

There’s actually science behind the great impacts exercise can have on your happiness, confidence, and stress levels.

Let’s dive into 4 ways exercise positively affects your mental health!

To help you out, we surveyed our team of fitness gurus for the lowdown on the best wearable fitness trackers on the market.

Welcome to NCFIT, where we believe that fitness is more than just a workout — it’s a way of life. If you’re looking to take your fitness to the next level, you may have heard of CrossFit. But where do you start?

With so many different movements and exercises, it can seem overwhelming. But fear not! We’re here to help you get started with CrossFit.

Staying active and healthy doesn't require expensive equipment. In this post, we're sharing 5 workouts from the NCFIT App that you can do right in the comfort of your own home, with no equipment necessary. These exercises are perfect for those days when you can’t make it to the gym or if you’re looking to add some variety to your at-home workout routine.

Functional fitness has taken the health and wellness world by storm, and for good reason — it’s intense, challenging, and gets results. But one aspect of functional fitness that has been both a blessing and a curse in my life is the Rx vs. Scaled approach to workouts.

On one hand, having a specific prescription for each workout — the weight, the reps, the movements — gives you a clear target to aim for. We all remember the first time we completed a workout as prescribed — no better feeling, right?! That is until you get into class the next day and realize you can’t lift half of the prescribed weight on the board and … we’re back to square one.

We are excited to announce that NCFIT will now be using the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) Scale for every strength and workout portion of the new NCFIT Workout.

RPE is a way to measure the intensity of your workouts based on your own perception of how hard you're working. It's represented on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being very easy and 10 being very hard.

A recent study showed that after six months, 46% of people that set a New Year’s resolution are still successful in keeping it. How will you keep yours?

What can you do to overcome a plateau and keep moving towards your goals?

If you follow us on Instagram, you’ve probably heard about some exciting changes for NCFIT coming in 2023! Among all the chatter, we’ve received a lot of questions about this switch. So to kick off Week 4 of our EOE Newsletter reader Q&A, we thought this would be a perfect time to answer the big question:

“What is the NCFIT Workout and how is it going to be different from current programming?”

Keep reading for the breakdown of what to expect in 2023 as you work out with us on the app or in a gym.

“What’s more important: Genetics or mindset to go on to qualify for the CrossFit Games?”

Nothing can compare to the accountability and energy of working out alongside other people in a physical group class. We all tried fitness over Zoom sometime in the past two years and there’s no comparison — taking a class at one of our NCFIT flagship locations in the Bay Area is an unmatched fitness experience.

But most of us also know that when life happens and things get busy, getting to the gym is often one of the first things to go.

So how can you get the most out of your workouts at home with limited equipment, time, and space?

How can you stay consistent with your training when you’re short on time?

Don’t get us wrong, we have nothing against putting on matching turkey hats and doing a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. However, we also know that running isn’t for everyone (especially when the whole fam is in town). Here are five simple and effective partner workouts for you and your family to get after this year with little to no equipment!

Who says you can’t do burpees in matching turkey hats, too?!

The question now becomes “How do you implement these healthy habits so they stick?”

How do you navigate holiday season without letting your goals fall by the wayside?

How does the supercomputer in your pocket impact your health?

After all, if you fail to plan, you’re inevitably planning to fail.

We’ve all experienced aches and pains in the past. Whether a minor tweak or a more severe injury, these things happen and can be a setback on our fitness journey.

So what should you do when you’re injured? Push through the pain and keep moving forward, or give your body ample rest and time to recover?
