How Do You Define Professional?
At Heirloom, we work hard every day to invite people from all backgrounds, skills and abilities to come together in our group class setting and get in a little physical activity, friendly comradery and positive reinforcement in sustaining those pesky nutrition, sleep and recovery habits that are so easy to break when we work at them alone.
Do We Even CrossFit?

Our 2022 Reading List
As we get close to the end of the year, let’s take a look back at our 2022 reading list. Or listening list, as most of it happens to be. Keeping in mind that we didn’t have any set goal for how much or what we would read. And giving ourself permission to move onto […]
Stop Asking, “Are You OK?”
Not to me, specifically, but in general. Honestly, what does that even mean? Obviously I am OK. I am building a business and a life with someone I love. We own our home, we love where we live. I find purpose in my work. I have hobbies that I enjoy. Yes, I am OK. Also, […]

Our first team dinner was here, at the house. I cooked and said, “This […]
We Are Heirloom

In Spite Of The Fear, Not Without It

Everything is so uncertain, and we are all literally just figuring it out as we go. What better time than now to just […]
What if we just looked at each other as people?
I wouldn’t call this a novel thought. But, where the impact lies in this reminder is in the act of actually thinking about this with every human we encounter.
