Why Recovery is the Secret Weapon You’re Probably Skipping

May 09, 20251 min read

At RADD CrossFit, we push hard. We lift heavy. We train with purpose.
But here’s the truth: if you’re not recovering, you’re not truly improving.

That’s why we created our Monthly Recovery Class—a powerful experience that combines stretching, guided meditation, breath-work, and cold plunge therapy to help your body and mind reset.

🧘‍♂️ What to Expect

1. Stretching & Mobility (20 minutes)
We start by opening the body with targeted stretches and breath-based movement. This helps reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and begin calming the nervous system.

2. Guided Meditation & Breath-work (25 minutes)
Once your body is relaxed, we guide you through meditation and focused breathing designed to activate your parasympathetic nervous system—the “rest and recover” mode. You’ll leave feeling centered, calm, and recharged.

3. Cold Plunge (optional but powerful)
This is where the magic happens. Cold water activates your “fight or flight” response—but with your breath as your anchor, you’ll learn how to stay calm and in control. This trains your nervous system to respond, not react—a skill that benefits you in every part of life.

❄️ Why It Matters

Recovery isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity if you want to perform, feel, and live better.
Regular recovery work can:

  • Reduce soreness and inflammation

  • Improve sleep and mood

  • Build mental resilience

  • Help you manage stress more effectively

📅 Join Us!

Our Recovery Class is held on the last Sunday of each month.
Whether you're an athlete, a parent, or just someone who needs to slow down—you belong in this class.
