Celebrate Milestones Like Class Attendance

duda • September 12, 2025

At K?r Fitness and Performance, we not only know that community and recognition are critical to achieving fitness goals. We celebrate milestones that our dedicated members accomplish. One of our favorite ways is by celebrating when members take their 500th and 1,000th class.

Your First Workout

The first step into the gym is often the most intimidating. We celebrate milestones like these on a weekly basis with new members. Unfortunately, that first day and first workout will not immediately help us bring our goals to reality. What it does is set in motion the consistency required to reach those goals. 

The magic of CrossFit happens when you?re able to come to class 4 times a week. Which is why our Committed Club celebrates the milestone of 16 classes or more per month. It can be challenging to make time for yourself and your health. The professional CrossFit coaches at K?r do everything they can to make that challenge easier by coaching classes 7 days a week, with 7 times most days of the work week.

With 168 hours in a week, setting aside 4 for class is asking for 2% of your week. Adding in commuting and sticking around after class to talk to your community , even 4% of your week is not much time at all. But it will make all the difference in staying healthy, reaching goals, and building life-long friendships with those you workout next to.

There?s a saying that little by little, a little becomes a lot.  

That applies to fitness too. 4 or more classes a week, 16 or more classes a month, by the end of a year that?s roughly 200 classes. Another chance to celebrate milestones each year. Getting 200 or more classes in a year, means you can join the K?r Fitness and Performance 500 Class Club in 2-3 years.?

Celebrate Milestones with KFP Clubs

What is the 500 Class Club? It?s the way we celebrate our member?s hard work of taking time out of their day to put themselves first. They show up and try something new, work on moving better with the guidance of our coaching staff, and grow with the community. We celebrate milestones with our members, including when they dedicate 500 hours for their well-being. Every member in this club gets a 500 Class Club long sleeve shirt. They also receive recognition in their 500th class because, yes, the coaches track these things along the way. Many times our members enjoy a class with twice as many people as normal because everyone wants to be there to celebrate.

We also get a polaroid of the member at their 500th class to post on our wall at the entrance to the gym. We believe in these humans and are proud of the work that they've put in. This also serves as motivation for those working on getting to the 500 Class Club themselves.

But we couldn?t stop there. Because we?ve had 4 individuals already reach 1,000 classes in the few years that we?ve been a gym. Which means we created the 1,000 Class Club. Similar to the previous milestone, folks are celebrated within class. They also receive a quarter-zip pull-over that currently only 4 humans own. We believe the humans that earn that pull-over are as limited edition as they come.

You deserve to be part of a community that prioritizes your success and celebrates milestones with you. If you?re interested in K?r and learning more about our 500 and 1,000 Class Club, book a No Sweat Intro today ! No matter where you are starting, we all started at class number 1. When will your polaroid be on our wall?

Eating before a workout might sound like the last thing that you want to do. However, it can not only help you enjoy your workout even more, it can help you with your fitness goals. Knowing what to eat before a CrossFit workout isn?t the only factor, you also need to determine when to eat.

At K?r Fitness & Performance, we have members of all ages, including menstruating and menopausal athletes. We ask why are periods ?a curse? and menopause ?the sign of getting old?? Instead, we view our period as a monthly check-in to tell us our body is healthy and properly fueled. In other countries, menopause is celebrated as a natural transition for all women and a new era of freedom.
