Congratulations from everyone here!!  I was visiting CrossFitting/IronMan friends last night and we were looking your race results up on-line-so cool!!  Forgive me if I exceed my exclamation point quota, but your effort is just unbelievable.  Of course I was crying reading your description of it all and I will be in Boston in a [...]

I promised schedule changes and I meant what I said!  I know there are a few of you who will miss some things that we took off the schedule.  It wasn’t easy for us to make these changes, but as I know you all have some sense of, we have to [...]

Crazy how the deadlift just makes people look bada**, every time.

We are making some organizational and scheduling changes which we will roll out on Monday Aug 3.  I am ferociously excited about them actually.  They will be announced and explained here on the website-not ahead of time in person so don’t bother to ask.  We [...]

CrossFit Baseball is a fixture of many CrossFit Affiliates and I believe it was “invented” at Brand X, the CrossFit Kids HQ.  It is a lot of fun, not to mention, ummm, a really good workout.  There will be a winning team.  See Keith’s face?  That is the look I want on my team’s face. [...]

I hope you all have noticed that at the top of this blog post there is a new Logo as of this week.  It is just what Carl and I wanted and imagined way back in Sept of last year and we couldn’t pay someone enough to design what we were envisioning.  No one got [...]

Carl and I are here at the gym at 9:30 at night checking the Games rankings.  Two things are bringing tears to my eyes: first of all, our excellent compatriot Matt Chan, owner of CrossFit Verve in Denver CO with his beautiful wife Cherie, is in 18th place after the days’ 5 workouts (that is [...]

Crossfit is –  constantly varied workouts of functional movements performed at high intensity. The constantly varied workout part is my responsibility.  After all, you come in and the workout is written up on the board.  That piece is out of your control.  Functional movement, also your trainer’s responsibility.  The CrossFit stable is filled with functional [...]

Before I start on my discussion of yesterday’s workout, I want to highlight a BIG, AWESOME, FANTASTIC, LONG TIME COMING accomplishment.  Nikki did her first kipping pull ups last Friday!!  Nikki has a focus and determination that puts most of us to shame.  Many of you know a little about her story, but it involves [...]

Thank you to everyone who came and worked out and all of you who came and kept score and tended grill and cheered on the athletes!  Ron and family stepped right up and tended grill which was heaven-sent as it was the one thing I didn’t really have a plan for-and it all went true [...]

If you waste/spend enough time on the CrossFit message and discussion boards you can find all kinds of beautiful, inspiring concepts.  You can also find a lot of things that never need to be dragged out from their obscurity!   The following comment was posted in response to a question about how people, with such [...]
