CrossFit Works Kids in the neighborhood!! Help Casa De Los Ninos.

Today is a big day for the CrossFit Works Kids program.  This morning Mark L. took Chris and me over to our next door neighbors, an elementary/middle school, and we were a part of their Wellness Fair.  Along with Wilma and Wilbur, University of Arizona’s warmly dressed mascots, we warmed up the entire [...]

Still a Salt ‘n’ Pepa girl, but now an athlete

SUBTITLE: DOES YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM TREAT YOU LIKE AN ATHLETE?

My girls.

In our CrossFit gym each and every client is considered an athlete.  This is a radical difference from the way that clients are dealt with in other gyms and fitness programs. Being identified as an athlete is indicative [...]

Get your “future” glasses on.

One requirement for my coaches at this gym is that they see big possibilities in every person who walks in the door.  It doesn’t mean they see you winning half a million dollars from Reebok at the next CrossFit Games.  It means they see in you a person who has not yet reached [...]

Saturday’s Free Community Workout

Nice work to the ladies above!  You are looking at the two winning duos from the Death by 10m/Wall Sit throw down.  The Saturday Community workouts are such a good time because the situation is always different.  We’ve been enjoying some of the women from the Tucson Lightning Women’s Rugby Club as well as [...]

CrossFit Works October “Filthy Fifty” Conditioning Challenge is open

The 6pm warms up.  It would have been cool to see them spring up in a synchronized PVC twirling routine.  They didn’t.

Silverman and Leslie get their ring pull ups done.

Click on this link to register for the CrossFit Works October “Filthy Fifty” conditioning challenge.  Both you [...]

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 [...]

Clique or Community?

Watching Jeremy Chandler, Olympic Development BMX rider and Personal Training client at CrossFit Works, win some races this weekend!

It’s a thin line between love and hate isn’t it?  It isn’t very often a blog post can begin with a line from a Pretenders song,so I might be stretching it.  Really, it is [...]

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 [...]

Happy New Year

Hope you are all safe and warm tonight.  CrossFit Works isn’t too big on New Year’s Resolutions.  Everyone knows those don’t work so well and all of us at CrossFit Works see all of you come in our doors on a regular basis with plenty of resolve.  Still it seems remiss to not [...]

Crossfitters, do you recognize your friends, neighbors and family in the above pictures??  Get them into CrossFit Works for a little of this…

On December 4th at 1:00pm we will [...]

Happy 4th of July

WE ARE OPEN REGULAR HOURS ON MONDAY JULY 5th

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and supported the Southern Arizona Disabled Firefighters.  We had about 65 competitors.  You all dove in, got sweaty and raised approximately $600!!  Not bad for a few tire flips…  Thank you [...]

CrossFit on every Corner - Welcome to Tucson's newest Affiliates

Jen with CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman, Prescott AZ 2008

What if Coach Glassman’s description of a community where everyone does CrossFit became real?  Wouldn’t Tucson be a better place if there was a CrossFit on every corner?  What if Tucson’s supermarkets replaced all those middle aisles of crappy food with real food [...]

Volunteers and Judges for the Winter Open

I THINK JOHN IS ACTUALLY LISTENING INTENTLY HERE, BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE WOULD MAKE A GREAT JUDGE…

We have only a tiny handful of spots open for our Winter Open Competition on Jan 23d.  If you would like to compete (and remember there are scaled versions) send your email to winteropen@crossfitworks.com [...]

Final Free Saturday Workout

Thanks to everyone who came out for our final 2009 free Saturday workout.  You guys were great.  We had no less than 3 multi generation presences!  Pretty cool.  Beginning in the New Year we will have a Free Community Workout once per month.  This will be a chance for you to get your [...]

CrossFit Works and the University of Arizona students

Took my kids to see the Icecats last night when they played ASU.  I had an alternative motive.  Jordan Schupan has been training with us a little for the last few months when he isn’t playing hockey.  He is the co-captain of the IceCats.  I like hockey except it makes me homesick, so [...]
