Hey all! Last week was a big week with some serious benchmark workouts inside of it.  This week will be similar.  We have several workouts that look simple on the surface but are sure to make you dig deep and get after it.  I for one can't wait!!! Friendly reminder to please keep it quite while chalk talk is going on.  This goes for just socializing or while doing the finisher.  Don't get us wrong, we love that people want to hang around and chat. We just need to make sure that the next class is able to hear the

Hello all!  Well Spring has certainly sprung, and we will continue to turn up the heat as we move into the summer months.  As we move from March to April we will continue to focus on squatting and Olympic weightlifting.  In March the loads were light so we could focus on dialing in the technique.  However, they will start to build as we move through April.  Like spring flowers blooming I can smell some PR's coming! ? One question that came up last week was "are we to use the standards from The Open for movements or should we keep

Well, we kinda knew a double header was coming our way.  21.3 and 21.4 did not disappoint.  We got the grind with gymnastics and the heavy barbell that many of you were asking for.  We loved this workout because it was just enough to stretch a lot of you while still leaving you feeling not beat up.  If the workout got the better of you and your hands tore, please make sure to take care of yourself.  I also feel compelled to take a moment and urge you all to reflect on this years Open.  Look at areas that you

Why do I hear Mike Tyson saying "I broke my back, It's spinal!" after doing 21.2?  Lol!  Really though you all crushed it!  Way to keep moving CFD and show what you are capable of.  We have one more Open workout to go, and the competition is close among the CFD teams.  Make sure to get every point you can for your teams!  Loved seeing the handstand pix!  Lastly, make sure to swing by the gym on Friday night for the last night of The Open.  It's sure to be a celebration to end all as we say goodbye to

The Open is upon us! Week one is here and before we know it... it will all be over.  I wanted to share a quick story with you all.  Something amazing happened during classes on Friday morning.  A member came up to me and said "When did everyone get so good at double-unders!"  My response... "What do you think happens when we make people do them all the time. ?"  Guys!  This is it!  This is why we push you all.  We Really Do Care!  We know what you are capable of and we are working hard to help you

Let me start off with a GIANT THANK YOU!  The new class schedule seems to be working flawlessly and you all are doing the best job to date of using the system.  So THANK YOU to all! The Open starts next week already!  If you have not signed up yet, please do so as soon as time will allow.  We want to make sure to get everyone on a team.  Remember this is a great baseline and community time.  It's not about the competition (even though that can be equally fun?).  Also, we are still looking for team captains.  If

Don't forget!  Starting Monday March 1st, we will have new class times for all but 5am.  Shown below is the new schedule.  Please make sure to arrive on time for classes as there is no longer buffer time.  We need to stay on schedule.  A great way to transition is to find someone who wants to use your equipment.  This way the first class gets it out and the second class puts it away.  Win-win! We also want to touch on Open Gym expectations a bit since we have added availability at 6:15pm - 7:15pm on both Tuesday and Thursday nights.

Hang on all, some classic content about to come your way... Monday night during Barbell we started discussing CrossFit, competing, differences in gyms, and methodology.  I feel it was a very good discussion and I thought that the broader audience would benefit from a couple cliff notes of the conversation.  So here we go... let's start this off by posing a question.  Why do we compete?  No really... why on earth would you ever want to enter into a CrossFit competition.  Remember why you started this journey?  I'm fairly confident it was not to stand on top of a CrossFit
