CrossFit Recreate

500 Classes Strong! 💪🎉

Congratulations to Bethann on reaching an incredible milestone, 500 classes at CrossFit Recreate!

Bethann is the kind of person who makes every class better just by being there. She's always positive, always smiling, and always brings an encouraging attitude that lifts up everyone around her. She's willing to step outside of her comfort zone, try new things, and put in the work, and that mindset has led to some amazing progress.

Over the years, Bethann has become so much stronger. She's continually challenged herself with gymnastics movements like wall walks, and her confidence has grown right alongside her strength. One of the coolest examples of her progress is her dumbbell snatch—what once felt challenging with a 15-pound dumbbell has now grown to 25 pounds through consistent effort and determination.

Beyond the numbers, Bethann is simply a joy to coach and to work out alongside. She's welcoming, supportive, and the kind of person who makes new members feel comfortable from day one. Her consistency, positivity, and willingness to keep improving are an inspiration to everyone around her.

Congratulations on 500 classes, Bethann! We can't wait to see what the next 500 bring. ❤️🎉

💛 Why We Chipper 💛

Wesley Zablocki was 7 years old and in second grade when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in March of 2011. Osteosarcoma is a rare type of bone cancer that created a tumor in his left distal femur. The following years of Wesley's life were taken over by doctor visits, hospital stays, needle pokes, surgeries, and chemotherapy treatments. No matter what the doctors told him, he always had hope that things were going to be okay.

In January 2015, Wesley started his third clinical trial. He had already gone through the two standard treatments available for osteosarcoma, and neither worked for his cancer. His parents researched, asked questions, and spoke with countless doctors to find another option. They enrolled him in every trial he qualified for.

On March 3, 2015, Wesley passed away at 11 years old.

Wesley's parents, Ted and Nikki Zablocki (both members of CrossFit Recreate), along with his big sister Zoe, became involved with CureSearch for Children's Cancer and their Ultimate Hike event in 2013. CureSearch's mission is to end children's cancer by driving targeted and innovative research with measurable results in an accelerated time frame.

In honor of Wesley, CrossFit Recreate created The Ultimate Chipper—a fundraiser where athletes complete Wesley's WOD while raising money for childhood cancer research. This year is our 9th Annual Ultimate Chipper!

Every number in the workout was chosen to represent part of Wesley's story. (See image above)

This workout is hard by design. But for an hour, we get to choose hard. Children like Wesley didn't get that choice.

Every rep, every dollar raised, every raffle ticket purchased, and every person who shows up helps support the research that gives families hope.

🎗️ There's still time to sign up and join us on June 13! Grab a partner and register through the link in our bio.

🎗️ Can't compete? We'd still love your support. Come cheer on the athletes, participate in the basket raffle, and help us continue the fight against childhood cancer.

Together, we can honor Wesley's legacy and make a difference for the children and families who are still fighting. 💛💙

🎉 500 CLUB CELEBRATION 🎉

Huge congratulations to Rachel on hitting her 500th class at CrossFit Recreate on Monday during Murph! What better way to celebrate than tackling a Hero workout and bringing her husband along for the ride 💪🇺🇸

Rachel is the definition of a Recreater. She always shows up with a smile, brings positive energy to those around her, and is the kind of member every gym hopes to have. She's an ambassador for our community and constantly jumps in to help however she can… including creating some of the coolest event shirts we’ve ever had 🙌

And let's not forget... she's STRONG AF 😎 If there’s a heavy barbell involved, Rachel is probably picking it up.

Rachel, we are so grateful to have you as part of our community and can't wait to see what the next 500 classes bring. Congratulations on this milestone! ❤️
