This is our 3rd year in a row competing in the Fight For Air Climb event. Next to "Fight Gone Bad", this is the other major fundraiser we are really excited about. Each year LaLanne Fitness provides stair climb training to all climbers. Below is a shot of me leading the warm-ups in 2009. Join us as we battle local CrossFit gyms for the team title.

The LALANNE FITNESS "Student Athlete of the Week" is ROB L. On Saturday, he finished one of the most grueling cross-country trail races in the world, the QUAD DIPSEA, which covers the 7.1 mile distance from Mill Valley to Stinson beach, 4 TIMES (Over 9,000 ft of elevation across 28.4 miles) in the rain. Here's the VIDEO of ROB finishing 105th out of 250 at 6 hours 30 minutes. Below is a shot of him standing tall at the finish line - with the support of his girlfriend. Dude, you are an animal. This is a real accomplishment and we're all very impressed.



Here's what ROB L. had to say... "Was hoping for a faster time, but I'm gonna take it for my first effort in an Ultra event. However, was pretty happy considering I trained for it exclusively with CrossFit and CrossFit Endurance and felt good... Thanks for all the help. LaLanne Fitness has been an amazing experience for me and please tell the coaches; Nat, Scott, Mike and Will thank you for all the attention and motivation they provide on a daily basis."

If you would like to join ROB and the rest of the LaLanne - Endurance Team - reply here!

There are not many folks on earth that can do 50 PULL-UPS in a row. This is a feat that requires the development of some serious muscular endurance on a journey past the milestones of 20, 30 and 40. We watched AARON join the CLUB last week...
