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!

March of Dimes Charity Class

By Derek Saffold • March 16, 2026
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. Donate and Jump into Class If you would like to donate more, you can go directly to Amanda’s page and donate here.

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.
