Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, “The Chiefs” have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate “The Chief” in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country.

5 Year Member Highlight: Lauren Berlinger

– How many days a week do you workout (and typically what time slot)?

I aim for 4-5 days a week. The time I go varies a lot and usually depends on how hungry I am after work haha. My normal times now are either 4:30 or 6:30 pm.

– What is your favorite thing about BCF?

I’ve met a ton of awesome people who I highly doubt I would have ever met otherwise!

– What is your favorite movement/workout? Least favorite?

Favorite: Thrusters!! My two favorite workouts are Death by Thrusters and Kalsu. Least favorite: Double unders, deadlifts, and any gymnastics.

– What is your favorite post WOD meal?

Olive Garden and or Sugar Shack donuts

– What accomplishment are you most proud of (inside or outside the box)?

Inside the box: Getting my first strict pull up a few years ago. Also, on occasion, I’ll string together 20 double unders which is pretty exciting. Outside the box: I FINALLY worked up the courage to quit my job I hate (although I haven’t quite told them yet haha so I hope they don’t see this) and booked a one way flight abroad!

– What is one goal you would like to accomplish in the next year?

3 thrusters at 145

– What advice can you provide to people new to the box?

Don’t focus on your score or the whiteboard, just focus on yourself and improving your own fitness. Also, be sure to prioritize rest and recovery and be sure to eat enough to fuel your workouts! Macros are amazing for CrossFit performance and overall energy and I wish I had learned about them earlier.

Wow – I can’t believe it but today marks our 7-year anniversary of the official opening of the gym! It’s true what they say, time really flies when you’re having fun!! 

 
I will never forget the day I sat down and signed a 10-year lease for the BCF 1.0 space (before we expanded to add the platform area). To be honest, I was really excited but also really terrified – my hand was trembling as I signed the lease and took the biggest risk of my life! I was leaving the safety of corporate America (which, of course, included a steady paycheck) and taking the plunge to do something I love! 
 
One thing I strongly believed: failure was just not an option. I was well aware that the odds were against me, considering the small business failure rate. But I’m a pretty industrious person and if revenue was soft I knew I could work 80-100 hours a week to improve the situation. In addition, I knew we’d encounter endless problems and challenges but was confident that we’d learn from the school of hard knocks and adapt and improve as we overcame these countless challenges (which after 7 years still come flying at us from all angles!).
 
The other thing I was sure about was that in addition to working hard, I would surround myself with a team of coaches (and eventually managers starting in the 4th year) who were dedicated to their pursuit of excellence. I strongly believe that if you work hard and do your best, you will succeed. I’m honored to be surrounded by 2 managers (the best we’ve ever had) and 9 coaches who are truly the best in the business (along with countless other employees that supported BCF over the years)! I regularly have members tell us that our newest coaches are as good as the best coaches at other boxes.
 
As we hit our 7-year mark, not only do we have a great coaching team, we also have the best community! We are surrounded by members who are inspiring, motivating, driven, friendly and welcoming, and who constantly push each other to be the best version of themselves! What an honor to be surrounded by such a community! It has been really fun to see our members connect in special and unique ways. 10 couples have met and gotten married, countless friends and best friends have developed at the box, and we have a great core group of members who have spent 5, 6 and even 7 years improving their fitness at BCF! Amazing and inspiring!
Lastly, I want to say THANK YOU! Thank you to our members for your support of BCF! Thank you to my awesome team of coaches! Thank you to the good Lord above who has showered us with many blessings! 
 
Looking forward to the future and many more years of success!
