JUNE RECAP — A MONTH FULL OF COMMUNITY, COMPETITION & PRIDE

June was a powerful reminder of what makes CCCF special — our people, our unity, and the way we show up for each other inside and outside the gym.

Here’s everything we celebrated last month:

🏆 XENOM DALLAS COMPETITION

Huge congratulations to all the athletes and spectators who made the trip to Dallas for the Xenom competition. Your effort, support, and energy represented CCCF with pride. Whether you competed or cheered from the sidelines, you were part of something big — and we’re proud of every single one of you.

🌈 PRIDE MONTH COMMUNITY WORKOUT

Thank you to everyone who showed up for our Pride Month community workout. The turnout was incredible, the energy was loud, and the support was real. We’re also proud to share that God As Rx made a small donation to the organization we partnered with — a meaningful way to give back and stand with our community.

💥 MAY BURPEE CHALLENGE — COMPLETED IN JUNE

Shoutout to everyone who participated in the Burpee Challenge. It wasn’t easy, but CCCF showed up, pushed through, and finished strong. Your consistency and grit set the tone for summer.

⚽️ FIFA WORLD CUP — HOUSTON HOST CITY

Houston kicked off hosting the FIFA World Cup, and the excitement will continue through the final in July. To celebrate, CCCF is keeping the tradition alive: Wear your favorite team jersey every Monday and grab your free energy drink at the gym. Let’s keep the global energy going all month long.

🇺🇸 JULY 4TH COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate 250 years of America with us. The workout, the food, the laughs, and the unity showed exactly what CCCF is all about: a community that stands together, supports each other, and celebrates every background and story that walks through our doors.

🔥 JULY MONTHLY CHALLENGE — JUVENILE & ADULT ARTHRITIS AWARENESS

This July, CCCF and God As Rx are teaming up to raise awareness for Juvenile and Adult Arthritis — a condition that affects millions and often goes unseen. Our goal this month is to move with purpose, show support, and remind everyone that strength comes in many forms.

We’re inviting every member to join the challenge:

🏃 Run 1 Mile Every Day

OR

🚣 Row 2,000m Every Day

The challenge runs from July 7th through July 31st. Your daily mile or row is your commitment to showing support, building awareness, and standing united with those who fight battles many never see.

🎁 COMPLETE THE CHALLENGE — EARN A REWARD

Finish the challenge, and you’ll earn your choice of:

• A FREE Blessed Headband OR

• A FREE Blessed Towel

A small reward for a big month of consistency and purpose.

📲 HOW TO LOG YOUR PARTICIPATION

To officially complete the challenge:

If you use social media:

1. Post your daily run or row

2. Tag both CCCF and God As Rx

   • If you don’t know the social handles, please reach out to Steven, Jose, or Luis

3. Use the official hashtags: #CCCFArthritisAwarenessMonth #GODAsRx #JulyRunOrRowChallenge

If you do NOT use social media:

You will need to save all your runs or rows (screenshots, watch logs, app logs, etc.) And show them to your coach at the end of the month to receive your headband or towel.

💛 WHY THIS MATTERS

Disability Pride Month is about visibility, empowerment, and honoring the strength of those living with disabilities. This challenge is our way of standing with them — through movement, consistency, and community support.

Let’s show Houston what CCCF stands for. Let’s move with purpose. Let’s raise awareness together.

⚽️ ⚽️ UPCOMING EVENT — WORLD CUP FINAL WATCH PARTY

The excitement isn’t over yet! CCCF will be hosting a World Cup Final Watch Party on Friday, July 19th, right here at the gym.

Bring your favorite drinks and snacks, grab a spot, and enjoy the match with your CCCF family. Clutch will provide the food, so come ready to hang out, cheer, and enjoy the game together.

We’ll post the official start time soon, so keep an eye on emails and our social pages for details.

This is more than just a game — it’s another chance to celebrate community, connection, and the energy that makes CCCF special.

Let’s pack the gym, wear your team Jerseys, and make it a night to remember. See you July 19th!

☀️ SUMMER REMINDERS — STAY COOL, STAY CLEAN, STAY COURTEOUS

Summer is here, and Houston heat + humidity are officially in full effect. Let’s keep our community safe, comfortable, and respectful all season long.

💧 Stay Hydrated

Bring plenty of water to every class. Your body will thank you.

🧻 Bring a Towel

Sweat is part of the grind — but let’s keep the gym clean and comfortable for everyone.

🧼 Gym Etiquette

Please spray and wipe down ALL equipment after use, including: • Barbells • Dumbbells • Plates • Boxes • Benches • Pull‑up bars • Cardio machines • Any area where sweat lands

🌬️ Freshness Matters

We’re all working hard, and the heat makes everything a little extra sweaty. For everyone’s comfort, please use deodorant before class — and reapply if needed. A fresh gym is a happy gym.

🚫 No Drying Clothes on Fans

Please do not place sweaty clothes in front of the fans to dry. This can create strong odors and make the gym uncomfortable for others.

A clean, respectful environment is a shared responsibility. Thank you for doing your part and keeping CCCF a place we’re proud to train in.
