You never forget a guy like JA. Aside from having two first names, a natural talent for sports, dance moves most aren’t born with, and a wicked memory, he’s one of the most compassionate people we’ve ever met. He’s the loud and crazy guy that brings the fun into any room but he’s also the ones that’s there for you whenever you need him. He’ll offer that shoulder for you to lean on, the shirt off his back, the food in his fridge, even if it leaves him without. He loves his family, Bedlam, and everyone in his life to no end and will stop at nothing to ensure everyone is in a good place. Thank you for everything you and your family do to make this place home. We love you big guy. .

•3 things most folks might not know about me. I like to think I'm a pretty open book for the most part but here we go..
1️⃣ I really enjoy cooking for the family. It doesnt happen as much as I would like due to us meal prepping the majority of our meals Sundays. With this little interruption we are all dealing with, I've had much more time to spend in the kitchen.
2️⃣ As loud and obnoxious as most of you know I can be, I really, really, really crave my personal alone time. Some weeks I will spend the better part of a full day completley alone with my thoughts. I need this time for me, to refocus, decompress, and just collect my thoughts. Without this time I definitely cannot present the best version of me.
3️⃣ How about a collection of randoms...
Played baseball and football in college (went to 3 different) played baseball in the Seattle Mariners organization (SA missions) never seen a Star Wars or Harry Potter movie(dont sit real well) not a chocolate fan,(or really sweets at all) married once before. .
.
.
•One of the most powerful lessons I've learned through CrossFit is absolutely unequivocally the power and love of a Community. I guess I've always needed and yearned for community and love and through CrossFit, excuse me, through BEDLAM we have found just that. .
.
.
•For me coaching is seeing and believing in someone when they cant yet see or believe in themselves. To see an individual's face light up after doing something they swore they would never due is so incredibly
Sorry not sorry for all that running this week. 🤪

End of April? Say whaaaaaaaaa? .
.
All good y’all,
We see you doing what you can with what you’ve got and it’s awesome.
Rest assured your joints will feel better, your running will improve 😛, and your push up game will be solid upon your return.
Garage gym gains are still something special. 💪🏽
Routine.
/roo•ten/
_
a sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program.
_
It looks different for everyone but it’s purpose is the same. In a time where there aren’t many controllables outside of your home, routine can be your safe space.
It can structure your day in a way to keep you focused on the bigger picture, fit in projects needed to get done, schedule your meals so you don’t forget to eat, and help the day fly by. It gives you a sense of normalcy which is something we could all use about now.
_
•Sleep/Wake at the same time every day
•Eat your meals at the same time
•Schedule walks between Zoom meetings to fit in your steps and get some fresh air.
•Set boundaries for when it’s appropriate to work and when you’d rather do something else.
Your YOU time is still important even when you’re at home.
_
Here’s to another week everyone. Stay focused stay positive, and keep moving. 🤗

We’re going to need a little help getting up after today’s workout. 😳
Here’s a reminder to make sure you’re drinking water and staying hydrated during this time at home!
_
50-60% of your body weight in ounces of water should do the trick. 👍🏼
•Set a timer to remind you. •Drink every time you go to the kitchen or visit the pantry
_
Do whatever you need to do to remind yourself to drink! .
.
Have a great day everyone. 🤗
We owe you two so here you go!
Curb the snacks and keep crushing those workouts!! .

Don’t confuse your thirst for hunger.
Make sure you’re keeping track of how much water you’re drinking to deter you from snacking.

Pause.
All will be well again and this moment will pass.
This is a great time to create,
Read those books you’ve been wanting to read,
Clean that closet that’s been plaguing you for months,
Call your family and stay positive for one another,
Inspire others to keep moving and doing good for their bodies.
Get bored.
Get uncomfortably bored and sit with those emotions that come from it.
A fresh idea,
A new recipe,
A more mindful you.
There is opportunity even when confined within the walls of your own home.
❤️
Quarantine health tips from From Coach @sag2525

Many of you may be feeling the struggle of controlling your snacking during this time that you are out of your routine, stuck at home and having more downtime. I would love to give you some tips to help you stay on track with your nutrition! A tip a day….AND we would love to see you in action:
_
💥Tip 1: Rearrange your pantry!
_
Make those hard to resist snacks a challenge to get to. Creating more work for you to access these snacks may reduce your likelihood of reaching for them when you’re looking for something to do.
_
•Place them on a higher shelf that requires a ladder to get to.
•Move them to the garage.
•Move them to the shed in the backyard or the attic upstairs.
•Don’t buy them at all 😉
_
This is a really important time to make sure you’re staying on top of your health and making time for exercise. A little a day goes a long way.
Show us what you’ve done to your pantry to keep those cravings at bay. Tag us in your stories so we can share your ideas with others. 😃
We’ll catch y’all tomorrow with another tip!
Thanks coach @sag2525 🤗

Chris Rivas. Man, when this social distancing is over you really gotta meet this guy.
He's a conversationalist, a bourbon connoisseur, a car whiz, and a freaking great human.
He will go above and beyond for his family, friends, and those in need. His word is his bond
and he leads with action. He's the guy at all Bedlam events recording for those that can't attend.
He's the guy that's cheering loudly for everyone, first person in, last person out.
We are extremely appreciative for everything he's done and for the kindness he spreads.
Thank you for everything Chris and congrats on being this week's feature. .

•Describe yourself in 3 words.
Better than average.
I don't mean that in a way to sound conceited, arrogant, or even as a "humble-brag." (Much like Eric, this kind of attention makes me uncomfortable!) It's a wide-open question and far too many words come to mind--positive & negative, virtue & vice, strengths & weaknesses.
When all summed up, I like to think the good outweighs the bad.
.
.
.
•What have you learned most about yourself on this fitness journey.
My impatience extends to dealing with injury.
It's often frustrating having to modify or scale movements/lifts to account for or keep from aggravating an injury.
I just want rehab and treatment to fix what's wrong so I can go back and play!
.
.
.
•How are you going to crush 2020?
Short-term, with everything going on right now, I just want to try to maintain a positive outlook and help where I can.
The at-home WOD's will help me stay active and maybe keep me from, once again, becoming a couch potato!
A little more long-term would be to prioritize some things that need to be done around the house over my fun-with-cars;
I've been putting some things off for far too long....
.
.
.
•Any advice you would like to share?
Don't settle for "meh," even if it feels like an eternity to get where you want to go.
The work, patience, and perseverance are totally worth it when you get to "great."
.
.
.
•What do you like most about being a part of the Bedlam fam?
Hands down, 100% without a doubt, it's the people.
I have made some great friends that have become another family.
Regardless of how bad
Here are just some of the measures we have put in place to serve all of you during this adjustment period.
_
💥Rental Program💥
Limited to two pieces of equipment at a time. Members are encouraged to exchange equipment weekly so that everyone can take advantage of the varying equipment we have in hand. Proper cleaning measures have been put in place.
_
💥ZOOM Hangouts💥
Live workouts will be had every Saturday at 9:30am and several other times during the week for those needing that social interaction and opportunity to fitness in a larger virtual group. Social groups can use this app to continue their meet ups and maintain connection.
_
💥 @romwod and @performancerepublic mobility portals will be made available for members to stay on top of their mobility free of charge.
_
💥Multiple program options💥
We will continue to program progressively and thoughtfully for everyone taking part in our fitness programs. Options are available for those who have at home gym set ups, minimal equipment (rental options) and bodyweight only.
Strength/skill and classic conditioning will be programmed for equipment programs and body weight only will be more HIIT inspired for those who need something quick and effective.
_
Stay tuned for more content and information to be posted daily.
For more questions feel free to message us directly.
Thank you for your support. 🙏🏽
💥SIT TIGHT We’VE GOT MORE INFORMATION TO FOLLOW.💥
_
As much as it pains us to have to do this, we must comply with city ordinance and continue to do our part in controlling the spread.
_
Bedlam coaches and admin are working together to deliver the same great service during this time. We will be updating you through our various media pages and email with our protocols moving forward later this evening.
_
We ask that you continue to support your local boxes and know that everyone is doing everything they can to keep you safe and moving.
_
This is only temporary. Please do not panic. The only way we will get through this is by sticking together.
_
We love you guys. Stay safe. 🤗
We’re here for you. ❤️
One of our members @taytottmac had a great idea on her Facebook that we would like to share here. .
.
During times of crisis and uncertainty we can fall prey to negative loops and dwell on the uncomfortableness of what we are experiencing.
However, there is still so much good happening all around. .
.
What are some positive things that have gone on in your days recently?
Comment below and share the good vibes! The more we can focus on what we have and what we can do, the more it will help us through this difficult time. .

We will continue to use @disinfx for our cleaning services along with increasing the frequency of our cleaning each week. Wiping all equipment after each use is standard and will remain.

Happy Friday and cheers to this week’s feature, Felisha Puentes! She’s a remarkable human being with a warm heart, and an indomitable will. When she sets her mind on something she works her hardest to achieve it. She’s an educator, a loyal friend, and a great reason to join the 5pm class. 🤗 She is stronger than she gives herself credit for. This week she had a monster 35# PR with her split jerk. Make sure to give her some hand pounds and lots of love today! 👊🏽

•Describe yourself in 3 words:
resilient, selfless, compassionate .
.
.
•What have you learned the most about yourself on this fitness journey?
I have learned to trust the process. That I am physically and mentally stronger than what I give myself credit for. Some times I get really frustrated when I can’t lift heavier weight or do specific movements. But then I hear a compliment from a coach/friend and I realize I’ve come a long way since when I first started. The struggle bus was real at the beginning haha .
.
.
How are you going to crush 2020?
By being more vulnerable. 2020 is a year of getting out of my comfort zone, not dwelling on the negative and saying yes to everything that brings me happiness and peace. .
.
.
Any advice you would like to pass on?
Keep pushing forward! There will be many times when life gets tough but, don’t give up on yourself or the people around you. Your moods are contagious so even when you struggle, smile and share positive energy any chance you get! >> In relation to CrossFit just have fun! Of course take the WODS and instruction seriously but, find the fun in the suck. >>Be your own motivation but also motivate the people working out around you. >>No matter where you start stay committed and keep an open mind. .
.
.
•What do you love most about Bedlam?
The people of Bedlam are hands down what I love the most. Everyday someone is always right there to embrace you with a genuine hug, high five or fist bump. An instant mood changer!! No one gets left behind. Everyone is supportive and that is why bedlam feels like home! I’m so grateful for everyday I spend with my Bedlam family laughing, listening to loud music, lifting all the weights and doing everythin
How it feels after surviving 5 weeks of MAP murder Mondays. .
