R3VIVE’S 1st Annual In-House Throw-down Competition

R3VIVE Fitness • September 11, 2020
People rowing in gym;

Greetings, fit-fam!

We couldn’t be more stoked to have you join us at our very first Annual In-House Throwdown. 

While COVID has put a damper on everyone’s fitness routine and much grander things in general, we want to make sure that we provide our members an opportunity to showcase their fitness with the support of our amazing community.

When we opened R3VIVE Fitness, we did it with the intent to challenge and support our members into becoming better and fitter versions of themselves. We could not be happier with the love we have received in return from our members and we believe that this is the least we can do to reciprocate the love.

Why compete?

The more obvious reason is to simply gauge where we stand amongst our peers. We believe that competing is much more than that. We compete to test how far we’ve come since the start of our fitness journeys. We do it because it’s fun to see what your body can do. We do it because our community is right behind us watching and cheering us into the next rep or just going a little faster or harder. We do it because we always surprise ourselves and say “Hell yeah! I just did that!”

Come join us this October 3rd to throw down with us and see that better, stronger and fitter version of yourself. It’s gonna be rad!

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.

Apex Training Cycle

By Derek Saffold • December 26, 2025
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.
