Hero Workout: Daniel
"Daniel" is a powerful Hero WOD that pays tribute to Army Sergeant 1st Class Daniel Crabtree, who tragically lost his life in Iraq. The workout is a combination of endurance and strength, with a mix of bodyweight exercises, running, and weightlifting, designed to challenge both your mental and physical limits.
Understanding Anti-Inflammatory Diets
Anti-inflammatory diets focus on consuming foods that may help reduce chronic inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked to several health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and even certain cancers. By choosing nutrient-dense, whole foods and minimizing pro-inflammatory items, these diets aim to promote overall health and well-being.

Why CrossFit Blue Eagle is the Best Gym in Fulshear for Busy People
Are you tired of wandering aimlessly around traditional gyms, unsure of what to do? If your goal is to lose weight and get fit while juggling a packed schedule, it might be time to rethink your gym membership. In my recent podcast episode on Busy People Getting Fit, I explained why joining a CrossFit gym is often a better choice than traditional gyms or even trendy fitness options like ArcoFit, Orange Theory, or F45.
Christmas & Holiday Schedule
Blue Eagle Fitness & Nutrition, Fulshear’s best gym, will have an updated schedule to celebrate Christmas and the holidays.
Monday (Tuesday) Motivation - Build Your Vision Board
A vision board is more than just a collection of images and quotes—it’s a daily reminder of your goals, your "why," and the life you’re working toward. Here’s how to get started: set your intentions
CrossFit Hero WOD: Larry
Hero WOD "Larry" is a grueling workout that tests your stamina, mental toughness, and overall fitness. Dedicated to U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Larry D. Harris, Jr., this workout reflects his bravery and selflessness. It's a task-priority workout with descending reps of front squats and lateral burpees, with a 200-meter sandbag carry (or plate carry) after each round. The workout is capped at 30 minutes.
Ready to Find Your Perfect Gym in Fulshear? Here’s What to Ask

Motivation Monday - Our Words Improve Our Performance
Did you know you can control your destiny with the words you say to others and yourself? This is why I believe so strongly about positive affirmations. If giving yourself positive affirmations is too difficult or feels weird, then try them on your family or friends.
Christmas Party
You’re invited!
You and a “plus 1” are invited to the Blue Eagle Christmas party on Saturday, December 14, from 6-10 PM.
Attire will be semi-formal.
We will serve heavy appetizers.
Our Blue Eagle Workout Philosophy
What about thrusters? They are everything except a lower body pull.... except that you have to perform a clean, which is a lower body pull, to start every set. They do not tax our upper body pulling, which is why we pair thrusters with pull-ups in Fran. But almost every movement will overlap with thrusters in some way.
Stuff The Sleigh - Charity Fundraiser - Sat, Oct 5, 2024
Stuff the Sleigh is a certified 501(c)3 non-profit organization, dedicated to helping children and their families experience, for a moment in time, the joy and spirit of Christmas through year-round giving to those children who are affected by cancer and hematological conditions.
Should We Do Charity Fundraising Workouts?
This Saturday, October 5th, we’re hosting a special charity fundraiser at Blue Eagle Fitness & Nutrition to support Stuff the Sleigh, an incredible organization that helps families affected by childhood cancer. While many know them for their work around Christmas, their impact extends year-round, providing vital assistance to families who travel to Houston for cancer treatments. Whether it’s helping cover the cost of parking, meals, or even providing iPads for kids to stay connected with their loved ones during long hospital stays, Stuff the Sleigh is making a big difference in our community.

In honor of Chief Petty Officer Nate Hardy, who was killed Sunday February 4, 2008 during combat operations in Iraq. Nate is survived by his wife, Mindi, and his infant son Parker.

Martin III, 26, of Bethany, OK, assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group, Fort Lewis, WA, died September 29th, 2009, in Jolo Island, Philippines, from the detonation of an improvised explosive device.

Monday Motivation - One "Hard" Thing
I listened to a podcast last week with a woman who seems to have mastered the art of balance. She’s built and sold multiple consulting businesses for millions, raised four kids, and even went to culinary school in her spare time. Impressive, right?
