The gym! Especially a CrossFit Gym!
Today we’re showcasing co-owner Adam Murphy with Crossfit Neighborhood.
Adam and the coaches of Crossfit NBHD have a unique combination of formal education, professional certifications, and real-world experience. The coaches have trained CrossFit Games athletes, fitness newbies, and everyone in between.
Their goal?
They want each member to achieve their health and wellness goals. That may be getting a first pull-up, competing, losing a few pounds, or simply doing life better.
Classes run from 5 a.m.-7 p.m. There’s even an “open gym” you can visit 24/7. So, yea…no excuses!
To sign up for a trial class, visit their website at The-NBHD.com. You’ll be surrounded by folks who share a commitment to health, wellness, and maximizing performance. I’ll see you there!

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
