DAYBREAKER of the MONTH: Jess K
Jess has been a Daybreaker since our parking lot days, 5 years ago. She went to every workout, killed the runs and could out squat nearly everyone. And, not much has changed!
Jess is consistent. Despite a new and crazy firefighter/EMT schedule she always finds time for CrossFit. Jess is still killing workouts that incorporate running but she also crushes pull ups, handstand push ups, rope climbs and double unders. And, Jess’s lifting technique, she’s perfected throughout the years, makes her one of the strongest people in the gym.
Along with her fitness victories, she is one of the most welcoming and positive spirits at Daybreak. Jess is the first to help a fellow member or introduce herself to a newbie. And, coming back from an injury she didn’t focus on what she “couldn’t do” but what she could to maintain her fitness gains.

NEWS: New Shoulder Health & Mobility System!
We are excited to announce that a new shoulder health and strengthening system has been added to the Daybreak equipment arsenal.
You’ll now see 2 new shoulder stations located on the back rig. We’ve added the Crossover Symmetry system to improve shoulder strength and balance, increase mobility and rehab painful or recovering shoulders. The bands and exercises target common deficiencies and muscle imbalances to improve movement and athletic performance. Each exercise has a specific purpose and sequence to effectively address posture, scapula stability and rotator cuff function.
There are a series of FOUR exercises you can follow throughout the week. We recommend the following sequence:
- WEEK 1 – 2: The ACTIVATION series can be used before every workout as a warm up prior to class effective immediately. In addition, you may use both the RECOVERY and MOBILITY series after every workout for about 2 weeks.
