  • Filthy Fifty Reworked.

    Now today’s workout was one of the ones that at first glance, scares the crap out of most. But when you see that and are new to CrossFit, know that you can absolutely scale that sucker any way that works. WOD 400m run 50 Good Mornings 400m run 50 KTE 400m run 50 boxjumps 400m…

  • It’s Empowering!

    One of the athletes this morning did a headstand for the first time in a very long time and after the workout she said to me, “That was so empowering”! How great is that to start your day? Empowered! She is one of our newer athletes, is the mom of 6 kids, and gets her…

  • Oh, Elizabeth- we meet again!

    Today’s workout was one of the nasty girls of CrossFit – Elizabeth. The last time I did this girl was Feb 2011. I didn’t really remember her all that well but I won’t forget her this time! I love that I have records of how I did the last time I was challenged with a…

  • Finding your Spark

    I keep hearing about how people don’t have time to workout like I do. And I keep getting asked by the guys I workout with – if I will talk to their wives about coming to CrossFit. Seriously people — do I have to share my story over and over again?  You DO Have time…

  • Workout & Laugh More

    Yesterday’s total rep count was 110 dead hang pull ups and 110 burpees. Yowsa! Now people, that is ALOT of reps and I am feeling it! I was very happy that today’s workout was not upper body and I asked Coach Nick if we could do some mobility beforehand to help loosen my shoulders. Warmup…

  • Fitness and Fun!

    I went to a special oly (Olympic) lifting session today with my pal Coach Nate who is in town for the holidays. What a great coach — and I don’t say that lightly. His passion for coaching is evident. One thing I have realized after today’s session — I have never been coached before in…

  • Find your Passion!

    I seriously think today’s workout was the least enjoyable and toughest one I have done in a very very long time. It could also be that I think that because this was my 5th day in a row working out –and I usually do 4 days and then rest and all the workouts this week…

  • Make it Work!

    Today’s workout was brought to you by Coach Marc. It was his coach’s choice as he is leaving our box today to take on a new job and get ready for his wife to deliver twins. I think he may find himself a bit busy to coach — The first year or so of having…

  • Dead Hang Pull Ups For The Win!

    There is alot of discussion in the CF community around pull ups- continually allowing kipping pull ups instead of forcing athletes to do dead hang pull ups does the athlete a dis-service because they aren’t getting stronger, just more efficient. If you can do 100 kipping pull ups but not 1 dead hang pull up…
