Our Fight Gone Bad! Set-up

Last September's Fight Gone Bad! event pitted 6 teams of 5 athletes against each other and raised over $7,800 for Charity.  We used a "T" configuration for the event so that heats of two teams could go face to face during the workout.  This orientation encouraged intensity, comradery and higher scores. Each station (except the rower and box jumps) offered three different options for scaling so that everyone could participate regardless of capacity.  Formal competitions are a great way to really test your limits and participate in the sport of fitness.

Congratulations to Juliana for doing her first full WOD ("Fran", no less) with rx'd pull-ups.  That's 45 real deal pull-ups on top of 45 65lb Thrusters.  Great work, Juliana! Click on the picture for a few more from Wednesday.

Check out the redesigned external links column to the right.  By clicking on the "Training" or "Nutrition" tabs you will be taken to a more comprehensive list of valuable resources for all your fitness needs. Keep your eyes peeled for more additions soon to come.

The CrossFit Journal is the “largest high-quality fitness library on the net.”  For $25 a year you can have access to every issue and installment from August of 2002 to today.  The updated format allows readers to browse articles by category or chronology for easier navigation of this expansive resource.  It is a must have.

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Every human being should be able to perform basic maintenance on themselves, learn how to fix your tight hips, painful knees, and stiff shoulders, and how to make yourself faster and more powerful. It’s too much to mobilize everything, all the time, everyday. Start somewhere. The Mobility Wod should take you four to 10 minutes to complete. Do it everyday. Remember the areas that feel like a Shaman’s Blow.

Gymnastics WOD is a daily workout based on gymnastics strength & conditioning and gymnastics skill development. We believe that all performanced based fitness and athletic programs should have a strong foundation in gymnastics. Gymnastics demand athletes to be highly technical, and by training with the proper mechanics in gymnastics athletes are able to work at peak performance for longer periods of time.

CrossFit Endurance is an endurance sports training program dedicated to improving performance, fitness and endurance sports potential.  We inspire, coach and provide our community with the most aggressive and proven fundamentals of sports science, exercise physiology, nutrition and athletic training protocols.

We use organic functional movements performed at high intensity to simulate the demands placed on an athlete during a football game. Football is a game of seconds and inches. CrossFit Football knows the demands placed on players during the game and the distances they will have to travel. With this in mind, we can replicate the stresses and situations a player will face on the field. By combining high intensity movements with a comprehensive strength and speed program, the result is a training program that is unparalleled in the industry.

CrossFit Mom is designed for pregnant women, post-partum women, and women who are thinking about becoming pregnant. We offer CrossFit workouts, scaled for all three trimesters and post-partum women. You can ask questions about scaling, substitutes for exercises or equipment, or something specific to your situation. Whether you already do CrossFit workouts, or want to start, we can help you on your fitness journey.

CrossFit Kids is the principal strength and conditioning program for many young athletes and the primary P.E. program for many home schools, charter schools.  It is used by athletic teams, martial arts schools and many parents that want their kids to grow up healthy, strong and have a life long love of working out thus avoiding the common problems associated with childhood inactivity and obesity.
