Change it up For years CrossFit has said routine is the enemy. Constantly varied functional movements is what CrossFit is at its core. So why don’t you constantly vary anything else about coming to the facility? Change it up. If you’re sticking to the same class time, the same coach, the same days of the week, the same spots in the facility. Change it up. Start by attending one different class time a week, or even a month. If 6am works for you, chances are so does 6pm. If 9:30am works for you, chances are so does 12pm. If 7am works for you, get up a little bit earlier and go to 6am. Just once ..read more

She also knew that no family should have to wal ..read more

Get Salty If you haven’t checked out Sodii yet. We’ve been carrying Sodii in our retail area since February. If you aren’t drinking salt, here’s some information from a previous blog that Sodii shared on the importance of salt. Let's break down sodium in a bit more detail. As mentioned, Salt is predominantly comprised of Sodium Chloride. Sodium Chloride is vital to both human performance and survival. After digestion, in bodily fluids, salt turns into electrolytes, positively charged Sodium and negatively charged Chloride, found mostly in blood and the fluid that bathes our cells. Sodium leve ..read more

Simple Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective, and the most foundational are what we need to create a strong base. A workout like a traditional tabata, pull ups, push ups, sit ups, air squats, often gets overlooked. We get groomed into thinking that the fancy things, like the muscles ups, the heavy cleans, etc. are a better workout, but really the simplest, the most basic, the most foundational movements are the key to unlocking and improving all of the rest. Performing the most foundational movements well, with virtuosity is the goal of a workout like the Tabata today. We say it ..read more
