Thanksgiving Week • Programming Updates • Community Communication • HYROX Prep

Start with clarity. We lay out the Thanksgiving schedule, then get straight into how we’re tightening our training ecosystem so you can make steady gains without second‑guessing the plan. SugarWOD isn’t just a place to read the workout anymore—it’s your history, your benchmarks, and the data that helps us program smarter. By unifying tracks, you see exactly what matters for strength, conditioning, and progression in one clean feed, whether you’re chasing a heavy back squat or testing a benchmark MetCon. We also open up about HYROX. Our CrossFit base stacks up on sleds, wall balls, and strength, but the honest limiter is running—especially compromised running after big efforts. So we’re adding a dedicated HYROX track with interval prescriptions, bringing more sled work into group classes, and scheduling micro simulations to practice pacing, transitions, and fueling. You don’t need to race to benefit; better aerobic capacity and sled strength make every athlete more resilient. Then there’s the “lean” conversation. Simple, low impact conditioning has value, but it isn’t the magic lever for fat loss. Nutrition drives body composition, with strength training and smart conditioning supporting the result. We share transparent notes on body comp shifts when running volume goes up, how glycogen and recovery play into the picture, and why consistency beats any single workout style. Expect some old‑school lean vibes on select days to keep training fun and sustainable, paired with clear progression in the main track so you keep moving forward. Finally, we’re choosing better places to talk. Instead of chasing DMs across social feeds, we’re focusing on the SugarWOD community board for quick updates, a members‑only Facebook group for questions, and WhatsApp for event logistics like HYROX in Vegas. Fewer platforms, better answers, faster coaching.

Big App Updates • Class Policies • SugarWOD Cleanup • HYROX Vegas • Gym Flow • Consistency Reminder

Want a calmer class, a smoother start, and a better workout every time you walk in? We break down the new Double Edge app workflow so sign ups and check ins take seconds, not minutes—and explain why that tiny habit helps coaches plan equipment, manage flow at the 25-athlete cap, and reduce the last‑minute scramble that derails great sessions. No fluff, just practical steps that keep classes fair and focused. We also tackle the hot topic of late cancel and no-show fees with a clear rule: charges only apply when a class hits capacity and your absence blocks someone else from training. If the roster isn’t full, we don’t want to nickel-and-dime anyone. We’re running zero-dollar tests to validate the process and to remind everyone that check ins also count for committed club credit. The goal is more coaching, less clerical work, and a better experience for every athlete on the floor. Next, we clean up SugarWOD for what it does best—track progress. Expect a fresh gym code and an active-use standard so the tool stays valuable. Keep your profile private if you like and still use percentage work, benchmark history, and lift logs to load smarter and see measurable gains. Then we look ahead to HYROX Las Vegas with early access for members, guidance on divisions and travel logistics, and a focused prep plan: build conversational running volume and get real reps on sled pushes and drags while maintaining CrossFit as your fitness base. It all ladders up to one theme: consistency beats chaos. Train three to five days weekly, adjust intensity to protect recovery, and use structure—apps, rosters, smart programming—to make showing up the easy choice.

Double Edge Updates: InBody Results, Holiday Survival Tips, and Class Sign-Up Changes

The holidays are coming fast, but your goals don’t have to go backward. We break down what real progress looks like with our latest InBody results and lay out a simple, sustainable plan to enjoy the season without turning six celebration days into sixty unfocused ones. Think mindful treats, smart training, and clear choices that keep momentum alive through the new year. We also share the nuts and bolts that make classes better for everyone: why the 25‑person cap protects safety and coaching quality, how no‑shows and late cancels block fellow members from training, and the crucial difference between signing up and signing in. We walk through the 5 a.m. waitlist policy, experience prerequisites for high‑pace hours, and how we make night‑before calls based on the workout. If email filters or app logins are getting in your way, we’ve got fixes and a direct line for support. On the community front, we preview the Christmas party with a firm RSVP system so we can plan food, share the holiday schedule with closures and half days, and drop an early registration link for HYROX Vegas. Around the facility, we’re reorganizing equipment, dialing in layouts, and adding rope climbs so we can program them fairly. We also set clear standards for kids training during non‑peak classes: parent responsibility, coach approval, and a focus on coordination and safety within an adult‑first environment. Wrap it all together, and the message is simple—plan ahead, respect the room, enjoy the real holidays, and finish the year strong with a community that’s pulling in the same direction. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a gym friend who needs holiday guardrails, and leave a quick review with the one tip that keeps you consistent. Your feedback helps shape better classes and a better community for everyone. Follow us on Instagram here! https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/ [https://www.instagram.com/doubleedgefitness/]

Why Double Edge Is Moving To Booking, Caps, And No‑Show Fees For Safer, Better Classes

The guessing game ends here. We’re laying out a clear, fair system that protects your training time, improves safety, and frees our coaches to coach. From unpredictable 6 a.m. swings to over‑capacity evenings, we’ve seen how chaos hurts the class experience—so we’re moving to an industry‑standard model that works. We break down exactly how it all fits together: class caps at 25 to keep sessions safe and efficient; peak vs non‑peak hours so you know when to plan ahead; and firm cancellation windows with simple, transparent fees that encourage accountability without punishing honest mistakes. You’ll hear how 5 a.m. locked a year of spots due to consistent attendance, why 6 a.m. needs proactive booking, and how waitlists and caps prevent sardine‑style workouts and rushed coaching. We also walk through the December soft‑launch (reduced fees) and the January 2 switch to full standards, plus what happens if you arrive as number 26 when the room is already full. You’ll get a tour of the updated tech flow. Our rebuilt Double Edge app for iOS and Android lets you see capacity, reserve classes, and auto check‑in when you enter the gym; MindBody fills the gap until launch. Coaches will no longer manage the sign‑in line—every minute they’re not staring at a screen is a minute back to cue movement, watch warm‑ups, and tailor the workout to the room. We also clarify memberships: Unlimited means classes only; All Access includes open gym and gets priority booking, followed by Unlimited, then class packs. Consistent at one hour three or more days a week? We can pre‑book you for the year—with the responsibility to cancel when you’re out. If you value a safer, smoother, more predictable hour, this is your playbook. Reserve your spot, respect the windows, and help us build a training environment where the floor is clear, the coaching is sharp, and every session feels worth your time.

From Two Gyms to One Community: How Consolidation Revived Our Coaching, Culture, and Class Energy

The lights are on, the mics work, and the room is buzzing—because we made a big call that changes everything. We brought two locations under one roof, not out of panic, but out of purpose: to simplify, cut stress, and give our community the best hour of their day, every day. That choice reshaped our coaching, our classes, and our energy—and it already feels like the gym we always meant to build. We walk through the why and the how: post-COVID realities that never fully balanced out, overhead that outpaced demand at South, and the unmistakable pull of Midtown. Instead of grinding for years to prop up two addresses, we went all‑in on one. The payoff? Two rigs bolted into a 114‑foot spine, nearly all the equipment put to work, and more classes led by two coaches for sharper cues and smoother flow. The 5 a.m. crew is stacked, the room moves with purpose, and the energy is contagious. Members asked if we’re selling gear; outside of a few extra Assault bikes, we’re keeping almost everything because we actually use it to make classes better. We also get real about training and health during heavy seasons. Moving a gym and rebuilding systems means the goal shifts from chasing PRs to maintaining sanity and capacity. One of us heads into shoulder surgery, scaling smart to protect the long game. That mindset—adapt, don’t quit—sets up what’s next for the show: bringing back regular conversations on fitness, nutrition, recovery, and medical insights with Cassie, plus honest takes on trendy supplements and training ideas flooding your feed. If you care about community, coaching quality, and results that last, this is the pivot you’ll want to hear.
