Introducing our Gym M.O.M (Member of the Month) for December 2020 … Katie Dickerson!

Since day one, Katie has walked through our doors and has straight up dominated, applying intensity to all we do, from Metcons to foam rolling!

She used that level of intensity to place 1st in our in-house competition back in October. If we had a few words to describe her to anyone, it would be “she just brings it” !

But don’t take our word for it, take it from the champ herself…

Read more about Katie below!

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
I’ve spent my whole life playing sports and love being part of a team. Functional fitness seemed like a great opportunity to create that same sort of environment

Q: Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living?
I’m an Emergency Medicine physician in my first year of the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency program. I also teach a class at Harvard Medical School and do research on the social determinants of health.

Q: What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym?
I love playing basketball and lacrosse, as well as doing anything outside! My perfect weekend would include hiking, camping and swimming. I also love spending time with the wanna-be member of the month and my almost-husband, Blake Mayes.

Q: What are some of your favorite movements (name up to three)?
Snatches, clean and jerks and Turkish getups.

Q: What movements do you want to improve at?
Butterfly pull-ups!

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
DO IT! Best. Gym. Ever. I love the community here.

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
Red wine.

Q: An interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you!
I spent a summer hanging out with the Dalai Lama, once walked from Seattle to San Francisco, have hitchhiked across Europe twice and have ridden a horse in every state between Maryland and Montana.

Strength expression is our ability to show or utilize the strength we have. We call it expression because in the world of lifting, CrossFit, functional fitness, or training, our ability to show that strength varies. Even though our potential strength is the same, we are not always able to fully express it the way we want. Whether that is hitting a max back squat, doing heavy thrusters in a CrossFit style workout, or hitting that heavy clean complex when olympic lifting, we will not always be able to hit our maxes, this is because of factors outside of just our strength itself.

Hey R3VIVE Athletes, The Apex training cycle, going from January 5th to April 3rd, is our next training cycle! This will be the firt training cycle of the new year! this is a chance to refocus and get in some good work to help you reach your goals! lets all work together to crush this training cycle! Functional Fitness: The Apex Cycle is designed to make your year-long strength work truly functional, focusing on controlled, powerful movements, complexes under fatigue, and mandated touch-and-go reps to prepare you for mixed-modal workouts. Our strength culminates in the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," while conditioning features a wide variety of time domains, movement volume builds (like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees), and regular Friday retests of past workouts to track your progress and ensure you perform your absolute best. Build: Designed to bring together all your training from the past year and prepare you for your strongest performance yet. Our strength work will focus on controlled, powerful movements, building you up to test your limits with both the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," which challenges your skill and strength balance. Expect a well-rounded program including unilateral strength, skill work, and core stability, with dedicated days for deadlifts, squats, gymnastics, and varied accessory work to keep you healthy and constantly progressing. For conditioning, we're tailoring the work to challenge you in new ways, featuring a wide variety of time domains and movements, and a specific volume build on common movements like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees. Instead of a standard test/retest, we'll be performing regular retests of past workouts on Fridays, allowing you to easily track your progress and see how far you've come. Our weekly template balances intensity—with short, fast metcons on Mondays—with recovery, incorporating lower impact endurance work on Thursdays, and a strategic taper toward the end of the week to set you up for success on Friday! Partner workouts will wrap up your week every Saturday, bringing the whole community together.
