Wolverine Strength and Conditioning does not in any way condone the actions or comments of Crossfit founder, Greg Glassman. His insensitivity to current racial injustice is the polar opposite of what we believe as a community. We have built our family on inclusion on diversity, allowing those that came through our doors to do so without judgement, label or censure. While Glassmans words will irreparably damage his brand and his ego, we sincerely hope it does not our own brand of fitness that includes everyone from anywhere. All are welcome at Wolverine.

7 years ago, with very little fanfare, we opened Wolverine Strength and Conditioning. We want to thank all the amazing members we have had over the years that helped make this the best CrossFit and conditioning facility in the known universe. Here are some photos from October of 2013 when we started renovations on the building, construction, and our first classes.
Since 2013 we have had many PR's, created many friendships, saved many lives through fitness, and created countless memories. THANK YOU ALL for hanging out with us for all these years. Here's to another 7 years!
Wolverine Strength & Conditioning added 34 new photos to the album: In The Beginning — with Chris Arcure and 3 others at Wolverine Strength & Conditioning.

Was going through the old phone today and found some photos of Wolverine being born! Most people don't realize the monumental events that took place during the birth. We took possession of the building on October 1st, 2013. We hosted our first WOD on October 31st! Here are some photos showing the before and after that gave us our humble beginnings. It looked quite a bit different then. There was a lot of sweat and hard work. We all had full time day jobs so most of the work was at night and on the weekends. Our families helped out and tolerated the additional hours while we toiled mercilessly to get open on time. Enjoy!
Here’s a quick video about what the Wolverine Staff would like you to do when coming into the gym!
Happy 72nd birthday to Kevin. He and his wife came in and CRUSHED another workout together. Kevin also knocked out his 72 birthday burpees in less than 6:30 after the 20 minute AMRAP.
We listened to hits from the 1940’s. The world needs more Kevin’s.

Take a moment to relax this weekend, even if it’s on the floor after crushing a WOD.
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
Happy Friday, athletes! Thumbs up to it finally being the weekend 👍🏼

You spoke, we listened! But now we need your help.
You told us you would like to see some updated designs for our apparel, so here’s your chance to show off your skills (or maybe lack thereof).
Please pick up one, or as many as you might need, of our nifty t-shirt pages and get to designing what you’d like to see on our athletes!
It can’t be that difficult. You can at least draw a ‘W’, right? 😉
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #tshirtdesign #apparel
Do you prefer forward or backward lunges?
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #lunges #weightedlunges
Great job today, athletes! See you tomorrow!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
We hope the weight on your bar is heavier than the weight of the week. Happy Hump Day! 🐫
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #backsquats #happyhumpday
Did you know you can lay down AND workout at the same time?! Convenient huh? 😉 Happy Friday!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
Thursdays are for weightlifting class! Way to go, athletes!

All smiles for getting that WOD in today! 😄(We promise that he is smiling, you just can’t see it😉)

We love to see a good progression of a movement 🤩

Who’s excited to use their muscles to shovel all this snow?! 💪❄️
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #puremichigan
With the anticipated snowfall overnight, we will notify any cancelled classes through this Facebook page, our members page, and our text system. If you are not on the text system, or unsure if you are, please text WOD to 833-765-0556.
If you had to create a WOD for class, what would it be?!

Welcome to the first week of Wacky Wednesday at Wolverine!
Have a wacky pair of socks? Maybe a crazy shirt? Whatever it is, we want to see it! Be sure to wear your wacky item to the gym and we’ll snap a picture of it. Who knows, maybe you’ll be featured next 😉
This week we have the UofM weightlifters having a French themed practice. We love to see it!!
#wackywednesdayatwolverine #wolverinestrong #crossfit #weightlifting

CrossFit, croissants... we can see how you’d get confused. See you tomorrow, athletes!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
No matter your age or skill level, we can modify a WOD that’s perfect for you. Just ask Skylar... even in jeans and a bow, she’s getting after it with mom and dad!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #modify
Scoop learned a valuable lesson today... You don’t doubt Landon’s upside down water bottle flipping skillz! Or else you’ll have to ride the horse around the parking lot in a crop top tank and short shorts!

Welcome back to Wacky Wednesday at Wolverine!
This week we have Doug with his unique water bottle. Hey, whatever works, right?
His shirt isn’t so bad either 😆

New month, new challenge!
Rogue is hosting a Cliffhanger Challenge, so we are too! Ours is just going to last a little longer...
From now until March 11, we want to see who has the longest dead hang from a pull-up bar. No grips allowed.
We’ll have a board ready for you to write your name and time. Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female athletes!
First place winners get:
•FitAid, KillCliff, or O2
•Shirt or tank top
Best of luck, athletes!!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #deadhang #deadhangchallenge #cliffhangerchallenge
CrossFit at Wolverine isn’t all heavy lifting, all the time. But it is professional instruction with little to no weight at the beginning, taking it slow to learn the correct form so you don’t injure yourself, and modifying/scaling any workout so it fits to you and what your body is capable of at that time.
Then we’ll work on getting you to that Rx weight ;)
If you’re interested in seeing what Wolverine is all about, we’d love to talk to you. Check out our website, link in bio!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #modify #scaling #greatcoaching
You made it to Friday! Be sure to get that workout in before you start your weekend!

#wolverinestrong #crossfit #handstand #walkinghandstand
See you tomorrow, athletes!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
Apparently March is the month of PRs and we’re only on day 6. 😳
We’re gonna need another board.
Way to CRUSH it, athletes! Think your PR seems small compared these? It’s NOT. Any progress is something to celebrate! Write it up there!!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #prs
Know someone who’s interested in trying out CrossFit at Wolverine? Or maybe they’re not interested but you want them to be? ;)
Be sure to connect them with Landon or another coach so they can give them the full run-down of all things Wolverine!
Link in bio for our website as well.

We love seeing you bring your kids to classes tailored to them, so they can be active too! But don’t worry, we won’t train them to beat you in the Open 😉
#wolverinestrong #crossfit #kidsclasses #activekids
Great job today, athletes!
#wolverinestrong #crossfit
Hey, have you thanked a coach lately for all they do? If not, give one of them a high five when you come to the gym this week and let them know how much you appreciate them! ✋
