Ignite Fundraiser for Forging Youth Resilience

At CrossFit Winter Park, we believe fitness is about more than PRs and workouts. It’s about building stronger humans and stronger communities. That’s why we’re proud to once again participate in IGNITE, a global workout fundraiser supporting Forging Youth Resilience (FYR).

This May, during Mental Health Awareness Month, gyms around the world will come together to complete the IGNITE workout and raise funds for youth physical and mental health programs. CrossFit Winter Park is honored to be one of those gyms.

What is FYR?

Forging Youth Resilience (FYR) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping young people build physical and mental strength for life through fitness, nutrition education, mentorship, and community support. FYR works with youth from under-resourced communities, including those experiencing foster care, homelessness, or involvement in the justice system.

Their mission aligns deeply with what we believe at CrossFit Winter Park: movement changes lives, community matters, and every person deserves the opportunity to feel strong, capable, and supported.

Why We Participate

We’ve proudly participated in IGNITE in the past, and every year we’re reminded of the incredible impact the CrossFit community can have when we rally together for a cause bigger than ourselves.

Mental health matters. Community matters. And giving young people access to positive mentorship and healthy outlets can change the trajectory of a life.

This event gives us an opportunity to do what we love — work hard together — while helping provide fitness and mentorship opportunities to youth who may not otherwise have access to them.

This year’s IGNITE workout is scalable for all fitness levels, making it accessible for everyone in our community. We will be completing it in all classes on Friday May 15th.

Every Rep Makes a Difference

One of our favorite messages from the IGNITE mission kit says it perfectly:

“Every rep tells a story. Every rep makes a difference.”

We’re excited to come together again as a community to support this mission and raise awareness during Mental Health Awareness Month.

Thank you for helping us make an impact.
