One year down for Marissa and Rachita 👏

They’ve both put in a lot of reps, shown up on the days they felt like it (and the days they didn’t), and have become such a solid part of the CFP community.

We’re really glad you found your way here. Year two is where it gets even better.

Mobility limitations don’t mean you stop squatting—they mean you squat smarter. Coach Colleen walks you through how to modify and improve every rep.

When it comes to nutrition, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Social media is filled with conflicting advice, extreme diets, and “quick fixes” that promise fast results. Keto, paleo, intermittent fasting, macros, cleanses—the list goes on. But here’s the truth: nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.
In fact, the most successful approach to nutrition is often the simplest one—focusing on small, consistent habits that you can sustain long-term. This is where mindful, habit-based nutrition comes in.
Instead of chasing perfection or overhauling your entire diet overnight, habit-based nutrition focuses on building a strong foundation through daily actions. It’s about creating routines that support your goals without adding stress to your life.

June Member Spotlight 🌟

Meet our June Member of the Month — Dominic Cotrano!

Dominic is the definition of consistency. You’ll find him putting in the work across both Strength and Burn, showing up week after week and getting results. Since starting, he’s not only built a solid routine but has also lost weight along the way — proof that consistency pays off.

What makes his journey even better? He didn’t always love working out. In fact, he used to hate it. Now, he’s coming in on Sundays for open gym… on his own. That’s a huge shift, and it says everything about the habits he’s built.

That’s what CFP does to people. Our classes help you find what works for you and completely change your mindset around fitness. What once felt like a chore becomes something you actually look forward to.

Dominic, we’re proud of you and the effort you bring every time you walk through the doors. Keep showing up — it’s working.

May Committed Club 💪

Consistency doesn’t happen by accident—and this crew proved it all month long.

Showing up when it’s convenient is easy. Showing up when life is busy, schedules are packed, kids are home, and routines are off… that’s where progress is built.

As we head into summer, this is your reminder:
You don’t need perfect conditions.
You just need to stay committed.

The athletes in our May Committed Club didn’t wait for more time—they made the time. And that’s exactly what’s going to carry them through the summer months ahead.

Vacations, late nights, busy calendars… it’s all coming. Stay anchored to your routine. Even 3 days a week can keep your momentum strong.

Keep showing up. Keep stacking wins. Keep proving to yourself that you’re someone who follows through.

Let’s see who’s next. 👊

Some days you come in fired up.
Some days you come in tired, stressed, and running on fumes.
Both days count.

The goal isn’t perfection - it’s showing up anyway.

One workout at a time, one rep at a time, building strength that carries outside the gym too.

DM us for information on our summer schedule. We have several options that will fit any schedule.

Huge shoutout to this awesome family for finishing On-Ramp together 👏

There’s something special about putting in the work side by side—showing up, learning new things, and pushing each other every step of the way.

We don’t take it for granted when families choose to do this together, and we’re so grateful you chose CrossFit Plainfield to start your journey.

This is just the beginning 💚

When Motivation Lags: What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Working Out

If you’ve been working out for any length of time, you already know the truth: motivation comes and goes.
Some days you walk into the gym fired up, ready to push hard, chase a PR, and leave feeling unstoppable. Other days, just getting yourself through the door feels like a win.
At CrossFit Plainfield, we see this all the time—and more importantly, we help people navigate it. Because long-term success in fitness isn’t built on constant motivation. It’s built on consistency, even when motivation is low.
So what do you do when that drive just isn’t there

Big shoutout to Jeff on an awesome check-in 👏

This is exactly what progress should look like—replacing body fat with lean muscle. Jeff is up 2 pounds of muscle and down 2% body fat, and that doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s the result of showing up, staying consistent, and trusting the process.

We’re proud of you, Jeff. Keep stacking those wins 💪
