Sign Up for Starting Strength

Did you miss the initial sign up for the current Starting Strength cycles with Coach Jeremy? We’re approaching the halfway point and are accepting new sign ups if you’d like to get rolling for the next 4 weeks starting on February 1st. Get starting getting stronger!

The Starting Strength program is an opportunity to develop your technique and increase your capacity at the most fundamental strength movements: Back Squat, Overhead Press, Bench Press and Deadlift. This small group format of 90 minute sessions offers one-on-one guidance, great camaraderie, and a simple roster of movements allowing you time to correct errors and challenge your limits.
Whether you are brand-new to lifting, someone with experience who has struggled to surpass a plateau, or just looking to try something different, by taking the time to focus exclusively on the lifts that support almost ever other activity you do inside (and outside) the gym, you will gain confidence and enhance your performance.

Anya has a strong back arch here appropriate for her flexibility and body type. The amount of arch will vary person to person and on the intent of the lifter. Regardless, every lifter should focus on maintaining a degree of extension, tension and connection to the bench while lifting.

The 2021 CrossFit Open

This year’s CrossFit Open will be unique both in terms of how it’s adapted to the pandemic as well as this being the first time we’re seeing the Open under new leadership at CrossFit itself. Some basic changes are that this year will be three weeks instead of five and a bodyweight-only version will also be included for those who want to participate from home. There will also be three Rx’s instead of two for wider participation as well as several adaptive categories that are new this year. We definitely plan on running the Open both in the gym and @Home so stay tuned for more details. For now, check out the links below to learn more and Register!

The CrossFit Open

The CrossFit Open unites hundreds of thousands of athletes around the world to compete in the world’s largest participatory sporting event. Beginning March 11, this year’s Open will be the most accessible in CrossFit history, with flexible options for participants to compete either at their local gym or at home, with or without equipment
