Ready For More
Thursday, August 30th, 2012 You know we're advocates of applying your fitness outside of the box. Although we love all things CrossFit, we believe it's good for the soul, body, and mind to explore other areas of physical activity too. Here are a few upcoming local events to consider.... Septem...
Somebody give those guys a sandwich or something.
Form and Function
Tuesday, August 14th, 2012 In case you haven't been paying attention to the announcements, the whiteboard, and/or the promos at the box, the Practicing Paleo seminar is this coming Saturday at 10:30 am. If Paleo nutrition is something new to you or you need a refresher, this will be a great ses...

Special Request
Thursday, August 18th, 2011 Here's a repeat WOD specially requested by one of you. It was performed back on 3-16-2009. The athlete who requested it commented that she remembers thinking it was really tough back then but sees it now and doesn't think it looks so daunting. We like that! She's ...

Carry On
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011 Kudos to everyone yesterday who dug deep and made those double-unders happen. Yesterday's WOD was a great example of how mastering this technique-driven movement can have a whopping impact on your time. If you're still struggling with double-unders, make sure you are...

Spiral
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011 It's been my experience that in life, and especially when it comes to your health and fitness, it's rare that we stay in one place. You might remember us posting on more than one occasion that if you're not growing, you're dying. The past few weeks have especially remi...

On the Front Side
Thursday, May 5th, 2011 I always see front squats as unique. Maybe it's just my sports experiences growing up, but they were always a side note of any strength coaches I had in high school and college. Compared to back squats and deadlifts, they're a little more awkward, a little less comforta...

Reward
Tuesday, March 8th, 2011 We've seen plenty of discussion on many different boards. We've discussed it at the box, and late at night around tables. What exactly is it about this stuff that not only is causing it to spread like wildfire, but is also causing people who used to think they were fit...

Journey
Friday, September 10th, 2010 So most of you know that other than a run while we were staying at the hospital, I was a little detained last week and didn't get to work out. Coming back this week, I overdid it a little and needed to lay off a few more days. Why am I telling you this? Because I ...
