We are halfway through our latest cycle, “Nate!” As the end of the year approaches and the CrossFit Open looms around the corner, we will be continuing to work on those higher level gymnastics skills that we’ve spent so much time building a foundation for. As those of you who have tested know, “Nate” is a 20 minute AMRAP of 2 muscle-ups, 4 handstand push-ups, and 8 KB swings. The workout is a great opportunity to work at the edge of your ability, because the re...  Read More...

Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard on the basics of pushing and pulling, along with building foundational strength with a barbell. We are now going to put some of that strength and stability work to the test with our new focus: J.T.!J.T. was the very first CrossFit Hero WOD ever, made to honor Jeff Taylor, a Petty Officer in the Navy who was an ardent CrossFitter and died in Afghanistan.   Read More...

With the end of the Open upon us, once again we’ll shift back to a base-building phase to focus on the fundamentals. Over the next few months, our cycles will work on accumulating lots of solid reps with the basic barbell movements at lighter percentages.

The last workout of the open has been announced, and as we thought, it's going to be thrusters and double-unders! Luckily, no dumbbells (phew), so we'll be using a barbell loaded with 95# and 65#. This workout is for time, and has a 40 minute time cap, but we highly, highly recommend scaling if the workout will take you over 20 minutes. The workout details can be found here: https://games.crossfit.com/workouts/open/2017To sign up for your heat, please do so here.   Read More...

17.3 has been announced, and there's no dumbbells this time around (there is that pesky pull-up bar though)! As always, please review the movement standards, weights, etc PRIOR to coming into the gym. We will refresh everyone and demo the standards but it helps a ton to come prepared.   Read More...

You thought we'd seen the end of the dumbbell after last week, didn't you? Well, you thought wrong! 17.2 brings back the dumbbell for another whirl (and we'd bet money it's not the last time this year).   Read More...

It's finally here! The first workout of the CrossFit Open starts with dumbbells, as we anticipated. The workout consists of dumbbell snatches and burpee box jump overs, and is not an AMRAP, although there is a 20 minute time cap.   Read More...
