Costly We talk about standards a lot. Both in our regular classes and when it comes to the competition side. If you follow the competition side of CrossFit you will have seen on Thursday morning that the leaderboard for quarterfinals has had some big shake ups with some of the top athletes in the world having scores adjusted for the standards on at least workout 1, in the step ups that we know of right now, for their heads not being in line with their entire body. There are some huge shake ups with this lack of standard costing some of these athletes their position to move forward to semi fina ..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
