Track Night An update on track night. As of right now our permit to use the track from the end of May to end of August has not been approved. We’re still waiting to hear. Apparently the CCI track area is on a list for this summer to have maintenance, so the simcoe country school board is waiting to find out if that will be happening before they can approve or decline our permit.

We’re telling you this because people question us as to why they can’t register for a full wee ..read more

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

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.
