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” was a great night!!

The CrossFit Works Crew. Pretty in Pink.

“Helen meets Grace” world record holders bring home the trophy!

Thanks so much to our hosts up at CF NWT last night for inviting us to a fantastic Barbells for Boobs/Mammograms in Action fundraising workout. We took on two of the “girl” workouts [...]

“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

We had a packed house recently as Mark L. and the CrossFit Kids did some very fun looking stuff in their territory and JSchae and the Ladies-Only CrossFit did some “fun” looking stuff in their territory and a few of the rest of us did our work in between occasionally tossing back a [...]

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 [...]

“Jackie”

Excellent work on “Jackie” yesterday. Heather M. shaved more than a minute off her previous PR. Mark L. tied his former workout partner, Paul G. who, despite moving to MA recently, is still on the record board for this workout. Liz C. also gets a spot on the record board for “Jackie” as does [...]

What’s with all the layin’ around?

JSchae said she really loves the new slam balls and wants to use them all the time. She was allowed to be resting here. She joined Nic’s Basic Metabolic Conditioning crew and did an interval workout that looked like built in rests were a very very good thing! Then there was a [...]

Lifting Weights in the Wild Wild West

Yesterday’s US Powerlifting Federation 1st Raw Arizona State Meet in Tombstone, AZ was a lot of fun!! Your CrossFit Works competitors got some PRs all around and generally enjoyed ourselves. As always, the enjoyment came primarily from the fact that we had plenty of CrossFit Works people around to support us. Thanks to [...]

Weighted pushups and Prowlers

Master’s WOD is Saturday morning at 10:30!!!

Rhomboids Part II can wait til tomorrow! What a cool set of challenges that you guys took on at the end of the week. Weighted pushups. Mark L, Jerry and Greg of early morning fame did 71lbs, 72.5lbs and 72.5lbs respectively. Mark, I’m pretty sure I [...]

Organize Your Training Seminar

Congratulations to Andrew L. and Mark L. who finished with the best “Murph” times this year. Andrew took just about 38minutes without a weight vest and Mark took about 46 I believe, with a vest. Best picture of the night certainly belongs to Sam C. who looks downright savage!!

Don’t forget next [...]

Face of Determination and Preparing for Memorial Day Murph

The Rams football team got a little competitive with their conditioning the other day. We had some serious battle rope contests. Interestingly, when asked to go “as long as they possibly can stand it”, the whole team went around a minute and then…they gradually began trying to beat each other. The same kids who [...]

“Franxiety” or “Frantastic”

Linda is Frantastically not Franxious.

Or a little of both?? There were so many good “Fran” moments this time around. JSchae got it done in 4:24 I think, Summer was a hair under 5minutes. We had a bunch of people take a minute or two off their previous times like Crandall and [...]

Negative Self-Talk

The Ladies-Only crossfitters got sent out into the alley to flip tires. Jeanette…did you know you would flip tires in the alley when you started?? You are so cool! I drove past this group of women the other day when they were running and I wanted to pull over and run with [...]

Big accomplishments with “Holbrook”

The hero workout “Holbrook” gave us a chance to see some real achievements. For one thing it was a chance to put your newly established thruster weights to use. This workout also allowed you to keep your intensity up because of the rest interval. Perhaps one of the most challenging aspects of this workout [...]
