What I like about CrossFitters is their follow through.  For example, when CJ and Carl got to talking about rowing a marathon as part of our Concept2 World Rowing Challenge it seemed [...]

I started out the day at the track!  Sunday is a great day for a track workout because, well, most importantly CrossFit Works is closed, and because there aren’t teams or anything practising in the morning.  I did a series of track workouts last spring that really got my running times much better and really [...]

We have a free workout every Sat at 2:00 that is open to absolutely anyone.  It is a time to try out our gym, meet our trainers, meet some other folks who train with us and see if you’d like to do this sort of stuff on a regular basis.  We don’t do any exercises [...]

I saw something really cool today and I tried to get him to show his Mom which he wouldn’t.  Kids are like that sometimes.  Erik brought us in a hand-plaited rope today to use as a rope climb.  This, in and of itself is really cool.  You can imagine yourself as Tarzan or scare yourself [...]

Possibly we could be accused of nepotism here, but it is really true:  CJ Wells is our top rower for the first week of the Concept 2 World Rowing Challenge.  CJ rowed 20,000m last week!  If you haven’t worked out with CJ yet, you should look for that opportunity because he will demonstrate for you [...]

We have been enjoying members of a Tucson Basketball team this month.  They are pre-teen/early teenagers and some of them even brought their parents in to train!  These guys have done such a great job of learning their lifting form.  They have really worked so hard at maintaining lower lumbar curves, getting their elbows high [...]

This is Jenny LaCoss.  In her real life she is a firefighter, but for a couple hours a week you could be lucky enough to train with her.  If you want to know what it is like to train with Jenny you can ask Catherine who wrote about one of her recent workouts in the [...]

One of the best things about being a CrossFit trainer is getting to know CrossFitters.  This week I sat down with Louis and we talked about goal setting and how to do that within the context of CrossFit workouts.  Louis is on the left in the pic, next to Mike (whose personal goals include getting [...]

See the photos above.  Wouldn’t it be great if that was all I had to say on this topic?  I hardly ever run out things to say on topics like this.  I wanted to have a go at answering this question because I hear people say all the time, “I can’t do pull ups, so [...]

This Sat after our free 2:00pm workout we will have a potluck.  So many of you aren’t totally sure what to eat without grains and dairy, so we thought we’d get together, eat, hang out and talk food.  Hey, those are my 3 favorite things to do-whose idea was this anyway?  Actually, it was Nikki’s. [...]

I don’t usually need a special occasion to enjoy a Guinness, but if there is one… take it.  I also love corned beef and am looking forward to tasting my CrossFitting-extraordinaire friend Lisaanne’s homemade corned beef.  Cabbage is a staple at my house, so we don’t need a special day for that and potatoes are [...]
