February 6th: Skills & Drills: Prepping for the Open
Did you have to scale last year's CrossFit Games Open because of handstand push ups, muscle-ups, or toes-to-bar? Do you think you could have improved your scores if your movement had been more efficient? Our Skills & Drills series is designed to help you do you very best on all the workouts this year.
Wednesday January 6th: 2016 New Year’s Whole30 Challenge
It's the new year... it must be time for another Whole30 challenge! We're tossing the sugar, grains, and alcohol and getting in a good long stretch of clean livin' -- join us! We're mixing it up a little this time by offering you levels at which to participate: beginner, Rx, and Rx+. If you've never done a Whole30 before, stick to beginner -- trust us, it'll be challenging enough! If you've done a Whole30 once or twice before, take a stab at the Rx. If you're ready to get super serious, check out Rx+.
Holiday Season Schedule Changes
Please note the following changes to our class schedule over the holiday season!
Sunday January 3rd: CrossFit Total
On Sunday, January 3rd we will be devoting all Level 2 classes to completion of the CrossFit Total. The CrossFit Total is the sum of the best of three attempts at the squat, the press, and the deadlift, the three most effective lifts in existence for developing and testing functional strength.
Making the Impossible Possible
Here's a great blog post from the archive. Coach Elasti wrote this a couple years ago, but it's always relevant, especially at this time of year! Originally published January 2013. -- When I started CrossFit four years ago, I never thought I would be where I am today athletically, professionally, and personally. In the beginning, just showing up and getting through the workout was all I could manage. Eventually, I got comfortable and ambitious enough to set some real concrete goals. My first CrossFit goals were: Get a pull-up (at 36 I had NEVER been able to do this!) and deadlift 200lbs (what?!). In order to achieve these seemingly impossible (at the time) tasks, I would need a plan. Being part of a community and having access to coaching helped, but I would also have to practice, show-up, and track my progress. What I couldn’t imagine then was how pursuing these goals would turn me into the CrossFitter I am today.
Holiday Workout & Party!
This Friday, December 18th, we'll be doing a holiday-themed workout all day, and celebrating at night! Please join us during any class for the workout, and stop by the party generously hosted by Justin and Rudy afterwards!
