Carl, Chris G., Mark L. and Ben T. and I want to wish our entire community a very wonderful, peaceful, joyful holiday season. Below you will find a description of our holiday gift to the CrossFit Works community. Before we tell you about your present, I want to take a moment to share with [...]
“What is gluten-free?”
“Why does everyone want to be gluten-free now?”
I hear these questions quite often. My usual answer is an abbreviated explanation [...]
How do you know if you need a protein supplement? How do you know if the one you use is the best one?

Wild blueberry barrens as well as my childhood home town!
Hopefully you all had a lovely holiday weekend. I spent mine being homesick. Ummm, 115degrees or something on Saturday? That just isn’t right. While in Arizona the desert sun is hell bent on scorching us crisp (and don’t try to pacify me [...]
