Helping you thrive into your 90’s and beyond
Here’s what’s in store for next week with CrossFit Undeniable! Look forward to “Quantum Leap,” some higher volume strength portions, and everyone’s favorite…thrusters!
Check out our YouTube page each day for full workout breakdowns and scaling options. We’ll also be posting two more challenges this week and hopefully sharing plans on how we can reopen our physical location starting May 11 pending announcements from state and local officials!
Continue ReadingWe had originally planned on doing 10 of these, but since our open was delayed a bit longer, why not continue?! They’ve offered an awesome way to keep moving. So, here’s #UndeniableAnywhere Challenge 11!
Previously, we’ve done a 200 reps of walking lunge. Let’s go the full distance! We’ve done this in classes before, and it’s quite challenging.
If you’re brand new, you could stick to 200m, but try to go the full distance if you can. Keep moving at a steady pace. Your legs might be a bit sore the next day, but you’ll make it!
Quick reminder on the rules:
Looking forward to seeing everyone get after it on social media!
We’re excited to deliver another awesome week of home programming! If you haven’t yet, be sure to check out our YouTube page for full workout breakdowns and scaling options.
This week, look forward to “The Inferno”, which sounds pleasant and very effective! You’ll also see ascending rep schemes, AMRAPs, and strict pulling. We’re also gearing up for some additional challenges and workshops. Stay tuned here and to our Facebook page!
Continue ReadingOn Tuesday morning, we shared our plan for re-opening CrossFit Undeniable on Monday, April 27 under the new safer-at-home guidelines. In all honesty, we were thrilled to be able to open our doors in some capacity, and we felt we could do it in a safe fashion.
Late on Tuesday, Governor Polis clarified that gyms would not be able to reopen on April 27. As with any broad statement, specifics matter. Under the safer-at-home guidelines, one-on-one personal training is permitted; commercial gyms would remain closed.
CrossFit Undeniable differs from a commercial gym in many ways including reduced foot traffic, no sharing of equipment, and the ability to clean equipment after every use. Despite calls and emails to various offices, we haven’t been able to get official clarity on how the mandate would apply to our facility.
After much discussion, we’ve decided not to reopen on April 27 and await further guidance from state and local officials. This is a tough choice. We can’t wait to reopen, but we also want to respect state mandates and keep our members as safe as possible. For now, don’t worry about returning equipment loans. Hang on (and use) them!
The natural question is when. When will we be able to reopen? Unfortunately, it’s tough to pin a specific date. Governor Polis is targeting mid-May as a possible window, but only time will tell as we see how Colorado continues to respond to COVID-19. We’ll share updates as soon as we have them.
So where does that leave us? Our community has been unbelievable during this time. We need and continue to be incredibly grateful for your support. Our business survives off of memberships. We’ll continue to work hard to earn your support until we reopen (and beyond) through daily videos, additional virtual workshops, challenges, and more. If you have suggestions, please feel free to email us at info@crossfitundeniable.com.
Keep getting after it and sharing your workouts, recipes, and yes, even your challenges with us. We’re here to help!

We kicked off these Undeniable Anywhere challenges five weeks ago with a simple exercise, the burpee. So simple and yet so…effective. For the final challenge, we’re sticking with the burpee with a little twist.
Not sure what “Death by…” is? Start a clock. During the first minute, perform 1 burpee. Rest the remainder of the minute. During the second minute, perform 2 burpees. Continue in this fashion until you can’t make the assigned number of reps within the minute.
Can you get to 15 minutes?
If you cannot perform a burpee for whatever reason, you’re welcome to perform up-downs instead. You’ll still be eligible to win a gift card.
Looking forward to seeing everyone get after it on social media!
Governor Polis announced yesterday that Colorado is shifting from a stay-at-home order to a safer-at-home order. While this doesn’t mean we’re completely out of the woods regarding COVID-19, it does mean we can re-open CrossFit Undeniable with specific precautions in place.
If it’s not clear throughout this post, I just want to make it clear that we’re taking this re-opening very seriously. Colorado has eased to safer-at-home guidelines, but that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear regarding COVID-19. We still need to be on our toes.
With all that being said, we’re incredibly excited to have everyone back in the gym! See below on exactly how/when/where we’ll reopen and additional information on when you’ll need to return your equipment loans.
Jeremey will also be running a live Facebook AMA in the Member Group this Thursday (April 23) at 1PM to help answer any questions. You’re also welcome to email info@crossfitundeniable, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Continue ReadingWe’re getting close to Memorial Day, which in the CrossFit world means “Murph.” How about a bit more running to make sure you’re ready?
You can use an app like MayMyRun (free!) to measure off a 400m distance. Under “Settings,” you’ll see the option to switch from imperial to metric. Or, you can just measure 0.25 miles.
What does a 1:1 rest mean? It means you’ll rest the same amount of time as your previous interval. For example, let’s say your first 400m run takes you 2:30. You would rest 2:30 before going again.
Your “score” in this case is your slowest 400m interval.
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
Check out all the fitness we have in store for this week including some pistols, thrusters, wall sits, and more. We also complete “The Three Wisemen,” but instead of gifts, they deliver strength gains!
Oh, if you’re a member, be sure to check out our most recent COVID-19 update and get ready for our final two #UndeniableAnywhere challenges, which promise to deliver a punch.
Continue ReadingHow’s the chest feeling after Challenge 7?! 😂 Don’t worry—Challenge 8 is all about the lower body.
“Tabata” is a technique of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. During the 20 seconds of work, you’ll get in as many squats as possible. Then, rest for 10 seconds and repeat for a total of 8 rounds (4 minutes total).
If you’d like an added challenge, hold the bottom of a squat during your 10 seconds of rest!
Here’s a reminder on some challenge details:
Who knew you could miss an Assault Bike this much?
We’re now just over a full month since our COVID-19 related closure. The Facebook Member Group has continued to blow up with encouragement, but we certainly do miss throwing down with you all in person in the gym. Rest assured, the first day we reopen will be an absolute party.
Because we literally can’t say this enough, thank you for your continued support. We’re blessed to have an amazing community.
We wanted to provide a quick update on two items that are top of mind for many. Please feel free to email us at info@crossfitundeniable.com with any questions.
We closed our doors on March 17 with the intention to reopen on Saturday, April 18. With the stay-at-home order still in place in Colorado through April 26, we’re now eying Monday, April 27 as our first day back open. Keep in mind, this all may change as we receive specific guidance on how businesses in Colorado will reopen following COVID-19 closures.
We want to get back into the gym as soon as possible, but we also want to make sure we reopen in a safe and effective manner. We’ll share more as soon as we have a more definitive answer regarding the April 27 date.
Originally, we had intended to open the gym every Saturday from 9AM-12PM for equipment swaps and rentals. It quickly became apparent that this would be difficult to manage and would encourage in-person contact despite our best efforts.
For those reasons, we ask that you hold on to any equipment you have until we’re open again. We won’t be doing any Saturday equipment swaps. If you don’t have any equipment or are looking for something specific, post in the Facebook Member Group. We’ll do our best to help you obtain what you’re looking for.
We recognize this is a bummer for some of you that do not have access to equipment currently. Our business is not built on an equipment loan model. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough equipment on-hand to loan out to every member. We scrambled to throw something together as quickly as possible. In retrospect, there are certainly things we would do differently to ensure everyone had fair access to barbells, kettlebells, and dumbbells. Right now, there’s just no easy way to make this happen without contributing to the spread of COVID-19.
Again, if you have questions, email info@crossfitundeniable.com. Otherwise, we look forward to seeing you all in person as soon possible. Stay healthy out there!
