Over the past 5 years our program has grown substantially. The size of our gym and equipment pool has grown to keep pace with the size of our classes. The number of certified CrossFit coaches has also grown to over 15. The evening classes; 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30PM (pic below) are definitely the busiest and it's at these classes that you'll find multiple coaches to ensure an ideal ratio (1:10). We know that life dictates which classes you attend regularly and some members may prefer the smaller morning/midday classes but remember that our "open" schedule allows you to attend any class, any day of the week. That being said, I recommend MIXING IT UP and trying to attend different days/times on the schedule to meet new people and experience the variance in group energy... 3,2,1 - GO!!!

I am very proud of this member of our community. Rather he is more like a brother. Some of you know that A.J. was my "best man" and that it took years for him to drink the cool-aid, stop doing "cardio" and start CrossFit training with me. Fast forward less two years later and he's become a top performer. This past weekend, A.J. took 2nd place at the Tactical Strength Challenge. Here he his pulling #515.

My BOYyyyyyyyyyyyYYYYYY!!!!!

Student Athlete of the Month: Craig T.

Tell us your age and athletic background? I will be 63 in May. I played baseball as a kid and volleyball in college. I also did a lot of bicycling after college. My wife and I bicycled from Oregon to Ohio for our honeymoon. After we had kids (a daughter and a son) life really turned to their activities of baseball and softball. My daughter played softball through sophomore year in college at Miami Ohio...



Share the results you've had since starting CrossFit? I have gained about 10 pounds since starting Crossfit which is what I was looking for. I had lost a lot of weight after my wife passed away and needed to put some back on. My daughter had started Crossfit about 3 years ago and she talked me into giving it a try. When I started I could do (barely) 1 strict pull up. I had no idea of what or how to do a kipping pull up. Last May was the first time I did a kipping pull up. For 13.4 I did 15 kipping pull ups consecutively.

How has your lifestyle, diet and mindset changed since starting CrossFit? Lifestyle changes consist of spending time in the gym and trying to eat Paleo. I have completely cut out wheat (pretty much) and eat more vegetables and nuts. I also spend time following my daughter at her competitions. I also spend time chasing my granddaughter (son’s daughter) around about every other weekend.

What's your favorite CrossFit movement/workout? I don’t think I have a favorite workout. More of a general category of workouts I don’t look forward to. Since my upper body strength is one of my “goats”, workouts which focus on upper body are more difficult for me. I keep track of my workouts so I have a measure of where I can start on certain movements and try to increase a little bit each time.

What are your athletic goals moving forward? Short term goals are to get better at double unders and wall balls, 13.3 really sucked. Longer term goals are to finish in the top 100 in the Open. More strength in my shoulders is the main focus!

As a reminder the GYM IS CLOSED THIS WEEKEND for a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer Course...
