Ready to Find Your Perfect Gym in Fulshear? Here’s What to Ask
Looking for a new gym in Fulshear, TX? Great move! But before diving into any “exclusive membership deals” or locking yourself into a monthly plan, let’s go over some key questions to ask so you find the best fit.
CrossFit Hero WOD: Andy
Break Up Reps Strategically: For the thrusters and deadlifts, break the reps into manageable sets from the start. Avoid burnout in the early stages to keep energy for the long haul. For instance, try breaking thrusters into 5 sets of 5, and deadlifts into sets of 10-15.
Pace Yourself on the Run: The 1.5-mile run falls in the middle, so don’t go all-out. Find a steady pace to conserve energy for the second half of the workout. This run is about keeping your heart rate manageable rather than sprinting.
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.

Monday Motivation - Some Days Are Bad Days
Some days are bad days. Of course, we prefer our days to be good or even great, but such is life.
In my chemistry career, every brand-new chemist would have a bad day about three months after starting in the laboratory. I would hear a glass flask or beaker fall and shatter. It's not a nig deal and is a part of working in a lab. But then, about an hour later, I would hear another glass flask or beaker shatter... And then a third sound of shattered glass.
