WFP Tour Stop 1 — London Pro My third event with @worldfitnessproject — and my first officially as part of the staff team for the 2026 season. Preparation for London began in January, just weeks after the Finals — before the event was even set in London. Season leaderboards, endless Google Sheets, 100+ athlete and team dossiers, data backups, database creation, flashcards for the Talent and Media teams to learn athlete faces, head-to-head matrices showing who beats whom in matchups, overtake scenarios, performance journeys… and that’s all before we ever stepped foot into an old IKEA in Tottenham transformed into a rave venue. It’s statistics — but really, it’s storytelling. It’s where preparation meets opportunity. Where the right information, in the right moment, helps showcase an athlete not just for what happens on the competition floor, but through the visuals, context, and words that elevate the performance into something bigger. Working alongside the talent team to deliver the right stat or the right background detail at exactly the right time helps tell a deeper story — not just about who won, or who lifted more, but about the people behind the performance. People Matter More.

Just another thought 💭 A confirmed post on IG ain’t an athlete roster. These things start in a week and a half, who is competing, how did they do? I am not downloading an app. I want it on games.crossfit.com

Sound the trumpets! What happened this past weekend was more than an open house. It was a room full of people choosing to show up with curiosity, openness, and willingness to be part of something still taking shape. That kind of energy doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because of community. And honestly, it is exactly why we are so excited about what comes next. To everyone who walked through the doors this weekend: thank you. Your presence mattered more than you know. To the coaches who ran packed classes and made every single person feel welcome — you set the tone for everything that follows. That is exactly who we are. To the members of Cornerstone Fitness who opened their home to new faces with generosity and warmth — you made this easy. You made people want to come back. We are just getting started. What you saw this weekend is a glimpse of what this place always has been and is still becoming. It’s a community built on real connection, and a real commitment to helping people grow. The energy in that room was a sign. We are paying attention to it. The season ahead is going to be good. Come be part of it.

Just another thought 💭 There are thousands of unaffiliated athletes who now are trying to find an affiliate to drop into for the weekend. What if CrossFit makes that easier? @crossfit @crossfitgames @crossfitathletecouncil @crossfitaffiliatesmidwest

At both Cornerstone and CrossFit Fairfield, we believe the same thing: Fitness should be something people can step into—not something they have to earn their way into first. Over the past couple years, we’ve seen at CrossFit Fairfield what happens when you create that kind of environment. When the door is open, when the pressure is low, and when people feel like they belong before they ever feel “ready.” That’s what the Community Class is about. And now, we’re continuing to build that across both locations. This Saturday, we’re hosting an Open House at Cornerstone and introducing the Community Class here—with the same intent, the same energy, and the same opportunity for someone new to walk in and belong. If you’ve ever thought about inviting someone, this is a really natural way to do it. Open house from 8:00–12:00 at Cornerstone 7:00am - Comp Class 8:00am - Community Class and Kids Community Class 9:00am - WOD Work out, hang out, and spend some time with the broader community we’re building together.
