Arielle Loewen - Road To The Invitational

For Arielle Loewen, a lot has changed since her 10th place finish at the 2022 Rogue Invitational in Austin, and it’s giving her a new confidence heading into the 2023 event. “After the Invitational last year, I saw there were huge holes,” she says, “so I sat down and I made a list of things I want to work on . . . my training environment, how I train, the style of workouts I was doing, the style of strength I was doing.”
After a career-best third place finish at the CrossFit Games this summer, it was clear that the changes had paid off. Not only was Loewen the 3rd Fittest Woman on Earth; she also became the Fittest American Woman and the Fittest Mom.
Unlike a lot of her peers, Arielle didn’t look to improve by training alongside other elite CrossFitters. Instead, she took more of a back-to-basics approach, training mostly in her home gym, without a coach, and setting her own direction each day. “I don’t have anyone there screaming at me, saying, ‘go faster, you have to do more!’” she explains. “It’s all internal. And when I step on the floor to compete, guess what? It’s all internal.”
Now, Loewen has her eyes squarely on the ‘23 Rogue Invitational, which she calls “the most intimidating competition I do all year. They will throw in heavier stuff and odd-object stuff, so I’m training for more explosiveness and really honing in on getting stronger.”

[@cm1781]

You’re amazing and a true inspiration/role model for all. Thank you for being so outspoken about your walk with Jesus and your fitness. 🤍⚔️🙌🏼

[@repwerks6624]

CrossFit needs to bring back videos like this to get people invested in the athletes. One of the worst thing they've ever done was fire their media and discontinue content creation (especially the ROAD TO THE GAMES videos). Glad to see Rogue taking steps in the right direction :)

[@joshuabeeker31]

Facts!!! I still go back and watch those old videos. This is a nice refresher to get to know the athletes and their story.

[@dillonloewen2704]

Who built that sweet home gym 🤪🔨

[@jhallock20]

Man I freaking love this! So much closer to grass roots CrossFit. Just hard work and enjoying the process in the garage gym. 👍

[@MFraze19]

one of my absolute favs!! she is so inspiring, and funny. she's a beast. :)

[@maddiekalt8831]

Midland represent!! Atta girl, keep livin out your dreams ❤

[@SpoileralertGMA47]

The home gym environment works really well for me too! I enjoy dropping into a box every once in a while for the camaraderie and the fun you can have but my every day life is better in my home gym

[@drr1981]

THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE is what it's ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!

[@justinbanman1158]

Lets go Arielle!!

[@goshdesu]

World's fittest Mom! 💪

[@passleycraig]

Really cool ❤ bar for power cleans. Is it available?

[@Ezimodner]

That bar shes using... very curious about the where and why it's used.

[@arielleloewen1]

Hey! Few different reasons. 1- who knows what Rogue will throw at us. It’s just practicing moving the body in different positions. It’s very similar motion to the log clean & jerk position they had us do last year. 2- I had an elbow flare up this past season. This bar puts me in a better position for my elbow! ❤

[@Ezimodner]

@@arielleloewen1 Neat! Glad you're able to find a way to continue training and be awesome.

[@lukasblanton6482]

But where do we get one?

[@arielleloewen1]

@@lukasblanton6482my strength programmer actually took a normal barbell, cut it up, & welded it together to make it a Diamond handle shape🙈

[@allenjtran]

@@arielleloewen1 Yes I’m also interested in where to get that bar. I fractured my collarbone so I can’t rack a clean on a straight barbell so well anymore. I love how you can still work on cleans with your elbow injury. You’re an inspiration for those working out of their garage, it’s almost vintage CrossFit back in the grassroots days 😊

[@terrancesnyder9323]

Good Sunday morning

[@RogueCylon]

Feels like Rogue is now more CrossFit than CrossFit HQ.

[@tuckertech]

Facts. I’ve seen so much content leading up to Rogue. Nothing like it for the CrossFit Games.

[@Calipod]

She’s hella fit

[@germanpotatooo]

How often does she train per week, and how long per day?

[@DavidWied]

🧃🧃🧃

[@xiscovenero]

Maybe the solution is rogue buy CrossFit, call me crazy! Or mayhem!

[@mimihodgkins2412]

Sounds a lot like the GOAT / Frazier in his early years

[@americanhotdog]

She ain't no Dani Speegle, Danielle Brandon or Anikha Greer

Man I freaking love this! So much closer to grass roots CrossFit. Just hard work and enjoying the process in the garage gym. 👍
