The Competitors

Today we have four competitors at The OC Throwdown, CrossFit’s biggest competition outside of the Reebok CrossFit Games. Sam, Andre, Andrew and Chris will face a VERY tough day. They have worked so hard to get there. I think sometimes we have this impression of excellent CrossFitters that involves some [...]

High Five Max – a story of a Gift.

Women of Perfection

Well, I know, no one is perfect, but there are moments when we achieve something with a movement that near perfection. I have had the great pleasure to coach the intrepid 5:30am class this week and witnessed some true moments of greatness. On Thursday during the Coach’s-Choice workout (a special feature [...]

“Dad have water”

“Look at his [...]

Good night of Over Head Squats

Shout out to Leslie on her 115lb Over Head Squat and Ayanna for her 95lbs. Nice work by the currently, spectacularly flexible Chris Lees on his 155lb PR and to Allegra, Joli and Josie for finding the elusive overhead squat groove for the first time.

Keeping Up With the Happenings

Saturday’s Free Community Workout was a great full house. Special thanks to Cody, Eddie, Josh and Glenn of the Tucson Magpies who came out and gave us a hand. Nothing says “intro to CrossFit Works” like a little Hoover Ball. It was also a special honor to have Sam Chavez and his Mom [...]

Be willing to not rest.

The 5pm gets their warm-up on.

Sometimes it helps to have a friend when you do 100 burpees. Oh, don’t forget to bring your friends to the Free Community workout this Saturday!!

It is funny how a simple, mindless undertaking like 100 burpees affects people. We have the inability to count [...]

Lose 50 lbs, stay as strong as ever.

50lbs Lost from this guy and no pounds lost from his barbell!! Amazing. Maybe it is because he is a rocket scientist. For real. Or maybe he got serious about what is in his kitchen.

Don’t forget this Saturday. August 27th, is our Free Community Workout at [...]

“Helen” Meets “Grace” and other upcoming events

This morning we bid adieu to Dr. Stephen Haessler and his coach, the lovely and talented Chris Gartrell, as they head to The Home Depot Center in California to the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games. We don’t want Prof Steve to be embarrassed by his coach so we marshaled all our beauty experts and [...]

Family-style and preparing to Lift

The World Needs Role Models

It is easy to grow accustomed to strong, healthy, gorgeous people when you spend your days in a CrossFit gym. I’m being serious. Even if everyone in the gym isn’t where they would like to be in terms of our personal fitness or body composition goals everyone looks great. For the most part, you [...]
