What’s New at WPCF

October 2026
Hello WPCF Fam!
Happy October — AKA WPCF BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!
This month, we're celebrating FOUR YEARS of Washington Park CrossFit, and when we think about everything that's happened inside (and outside!) these walls over the last four years, it's pretty wild.
There have been PRs and first muscle-ups, new skills learned, weightlifting meets and gymnastics seminars, Hot Girl Hours and CrossFit Open theme nights, Jersey Fridays and post-WOD drinks at Easy Tiger. We've hosted fundraisers, survived a Hot Dog Mile (and a couple of Mimosa Miles), thrown a whole lot of parties and done plenty of things that probably sounded like questionable ideas until the WPCF crew got involved.
But more than anything, there have been a whole lot of friendships made along the way.
THAT is WPCF. It's about getting stronger and fitter, of course... but it's also about having people to cheer obnoxiously loud when you hit a PR (except please don't cheer for Carl), convince you to sign up for something you definitely weren't planning to do, grab a drink with after class and make showing up to the gym one of the best hours of your day.
We say it all the time, but this community is what makes WPCF what it is. We love watching y'all show up for yourselves AND for each other, and we're so grateful for every person who has walked through our doors over the last four years and chosen to call this place their gym home.
And because it's our birthday month... we have a LOT going on. 👇
🎉 WPCF Turns Four!
Saturday, October 24 @ 5pm

☕ Curiouser Coffee x WPCF
Friday, October 2
Our Curiouser Coffee collab is still going strong!
On the first Friday of every month, the first 10 WPCF members to stop by Curiouser Coffee get their coffee ON US!
Our next giveaway is Friday, October 2 — so get there early and grab yourself a little post-workout caffeine. Tag us on IG! We love seeing your coffee orders!
🏋️ Weightlifting States
October 10–11 | Heavy Metal Barbell, Charlotte
Our Winston-Salem Weightlifting athletes are headed to STATES!
If you want to make the trip to Charlotte and cheer them on, let us know and we'll send you the full weekend schedule.
Let's show up BIG for our weightlifters!
👋 Farewell, Coach Emma!
By now, many of you have probably heard that the Weddington family is moving to Florida, which means we sadly have to say goodbye to Coach Emma.
Emma and her family have been such a special part of the WPCF community, and we are going to miss them SO MUCH.
Her final coaching days will be:
- Tuesday, October 20 — Evening Classes
- Wednesday, October 21 — 8:30am
Let's PACK those classes and give Emma the ultimate WPCF send-off before she heads to Florida! ❤️
👋 Say Hello to Coach Andrew!
You've probably seen Andrew around the gym — and you've DEFINITELY seen his fiancée, Jamie!
We're excited to officially welcome Coach Andrew to the WPCF coaching team!
For now, you'll catch him coaching on Saturdays. We'll be sharing more about Andrew soon, so stay tuned and be sure to give him a big WPCF welcome!
🎃 Kale's Halloween Party!
Friday, October 30 @ 7pm
Costumes are encouraged… obviously.
Please RSVP directly to Kale!
👕 New WPCF Apparel Is Coming!
Not one... but TWO apparel drops are in the works!
- DROP ONE: Dry-fit tees + dry-fit muscle tanks
- DROP TWO: WPCF sports bras
We're doing things a little differently this time around. Instead of taking pre-orders, we'll be placing a larger order of tees and tanks in our most popular sizes, along with a set quantity of sports bras.
Once everything arrives, it'll be first come, first served. The upside? You'll actually be able to try on different sizes and styles before buying to make sure you love the fit!
Payment will be accepted via Venmo or cash.
We're still finalizing the designs and pricing, but trust us... Y'ALL ARE GONNA LOVE THESE. 😎
Stay tuned!
⏰ Quick Wodify Reminder
Help your coaches out by signing up for class in Wodify at least 30 minutes before class starts.
We know life happens and plans change! If you sign up and realize you can't make it, please cancel your reservation as soon as you know… especially for our busier classes. That opens your spot for another member and helps our coaches know who to expect.
Thank you for helping us keep things running smoothly!
❤️ And Just Like That... FOUR YEARS
It's pretty crazy to think back to those early days… before we had air conditioning (IYKYK), when our coaching staff was basically a staff of one, and when we were quite literally figuring things out as we went.
We started WPCF with a whole lot of passion and a vision for the kind of gym and community we wanted to create. Four years later, we're still learning and growing, but getting to watch this little idea become what WPCF is today has been pretty special.
To every person who has walked through our doors and continued to show up…. THANK YOU.
We hope to see ALL of you at the anniversary party on October 24!
Here's to year FIVE. 🥂
🏆 Athlete of the Month
Kale
Congratulations to KALE, our October Athlete of the Month!
Kale has been part of WPCF since we opened our doors four years ago, so it only felt right that his Athlete of the Month honor landed during our anniversary month.
It also happens to be the month of his infamous Halloween party... coincidence?! We think not.
Stay tuned this month to learn a little more about Kale!
