TYR Wodapalooza Miami, the wintertime fitness festival that draws huge crowds and elite CrossFitters from around the world, is moving from Bayfront Park to Miami Beach.  We sat down with Dylan Malitsky, VP of Loud and Live Sports, to get the scoop on what prompted the move and what fans and athletes can expect from the competition in 2025.  Remind me: For 12 years, TYR Wodapalooza has been one of the premier competitions outside of the CrossFit Games . The event always falls in the bleak winter and draws hordes of fans and athletes from around the globe to compete in the Miami party vibe. The 2025 competition takes place from January 23 to 26.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by The TYR Wodapalooza (@wodapalooza) [Related:  Best Barbells for CrossFit ] Malitsky has been with TYR WZA from the start, first as a volunteer, then as an emcee, then as media director, and now as VP of Loud and Live Sports, o...

Jeremy Buendia credits upping his meal frequency from five to six daily meals with elevating his physique . It’s a common refrain to hear from a competitive bodybuilder, much less a four-time winner of the Men’s Physique Olympia . Buendia’s endorsement of higher meal frequencies reads like the kind of advice you’d see in a muscle-building magazine in the 2000s. After almost two decades of online proliferation, bodybuilding advice about meal frequency has largely gone the way of the dodo bird.  So what gives; is Buendia lying? Probably not. While meal frequency may not be as important as he makes it sound, it’s still a knob you should turn from time to time.  Jeremy Buendia on Meal Frequency “Starting to feel my physique change again. I went from five meals per day to six meals per day this week & it’s made a huge difference! Feeling a lot fuller, tighter & stronger!” Buendia said on social media on Nov. 14, 2024, during a shoulder workout .  Buendia backe...

Written by Emily Beers and Joe Genetin-Pilawa “The PFAA Board is disappointed with CrossFit’s lack of transparency of their investigation and dissatisfied by their next steps,” began the statement just issued by the Professional Fitness Athletes’ Association.  The response came one week after CrossFit released its “ Safety and Procedural Changes After the 2024 CrossFit Games ,” which announced the conclusion of the third-party investigation into the death of Lazar Ðukić and the plans to be instituted during the 2025 CrossFit Games season. Notably, CrossFit also announced that they do not intend to reveal the details of the investigation to the public. One big thing: The PFAA intends to support athletes whether they choose to compete in the 2025 Games or boycott them. (“Veto” is the word the PFAA used.) The PFAA also intends to seek out alternative competition options, stating that it is “engaged with the broader ecosystem of functional fitness competitions to expand opportu...
