Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for November 2024 … Ally Crowley (she/her/hers)!⁠

We’re excited to celebrate Ally as our Member of the Month! Ally brings boundless energy and a positive spirit to every workout, and is a true example of how consistency pays off!

Her dedication to growth and consistency shines in every session, and she approaches each workout with a blend of focus and grace that’s truly inspiring. Ally’s commitment to staying strong, healthy, and balanced—both physically and mentally—is a testament to her determination.

Learn more about Ally below:

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
 My mom! She convinced me to try a CrossFit class in my sophomore year of high school, and I ended up enjoying it so much more than I expected so I kept with it

Q: Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living?
I’m currently a junior undergrad at Wentworth Institute of Technology studying architecture and minoring in business management.

Q: What are some of your favorite things about R3VIVE?
 My favorite thing is probably Delta and the other dogs that visit, but the community is also great and so so motivating:) I feel like the coaches are always really invested in my goals and do so much to help me grow as a person and athlete.

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
 I think I’d say to have a patient and open mind when learning new skills. A lot of movements– especially Olympic weightlifting –have steep learning curves that take a lot of persistence to work with. Have trust in the coaches and the learning process

Q: Tell us an interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you…
 I played piano for 14 years! I haven’t played much since going to college but I’m excited to pick it back up.

What is the March of Dimes? The March of Dimes is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of mothers and babies, with a focus on preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. Learn more about the March of Dimes here. Why is it important to us? We are excited to host a workout in support of the March of Dimes and the South Shore Hospital NICU team. My sister-in-law, Amanda Dougherty, and my nephew, Owen Dougherty, received a lot of care during Owen's premature and traumatic birth. Amanda and her family will be walking on the SSH NICU/SCN team in the March for Babies walk on May 9th, and we would love to support her by donating to the cause and helping other families in need. When's the charity class? We would love for everyone to come join us, no matter your fitness level, in support of this great cause. The class will be hosted on Sunday, April 12th, at 11 am. T-shirts will also be available for purchase as a preorder up until March 27th. All proceeds from registration of this event and profits from all shirts purchased will be donated to the SSH NICU/SCN team under Amanda Dougherty.

Why Can't I Always Lift My Max?

By Derek Saffold • February 19, 2026
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.
