With the Olympic Games going on in France and the CrossFit Games in Texas, there was so much to expect and look forward to. However with the tragedy of an athlete’s death in the very first event at the CrossFit Games, there was heartbreak instead of happiness. The CrossFit Games are continuing, but some athletes…

I feel like summer is almost over because schools will be starting soon, but the heat is showing us that this is still summer! Please be careful to take it easy if you feel sick or dizzy. Stay hydrated with lots of sips of water, not guzzling a lot at a time. We have had…

Vacations are maybe starting to wrap up. School will be starting soon. We can look at our schedules and plan to come to the gym more faithfully than when everything seems to be up on the air in the summer. Let’s all look forward to new WODs to try new skills. MONDAY 7-29-24Strength WOD: Power…

Again this week is predicted to have moderate weather. In July, this seems very unusual. Maybe it’s August that will be unseasonably hot, but we will deal with that when it comes. For now, work hard, learn new skills and enjoy being strong! MONDAY 7-22-24Strength WOD: Deadlift (3×5)then:For time:100 Handstand Push-upsOR/ScaledAMRAP in 15:00TUESDAY 7-23-243 Rounds…

The weather is predicted to be a bit cooler without rain on one day. So that’s the day I have planned a run! If there is another hurricane coming, we may have to adjust again. Not really a big deal, we are still getting in some good workouts! MONDAY 7-15-24Strength WOD: Shoulder Press (3×5)then:AMRAP in…

This week has a holiday on July 4th where the gym will be closed. And to help celebrate we will have a hero WOD to make up for our day off. We will have only one strength WOD, but we have another WOD that will likely take the place of the missing strength WOD. I…

I can’t believe June is almost over. It seems like it should still be April, except for the heat! It really is summer now and there won’t be any running outside this week. Make sure, even in the gym, you stay well hydrated, and take it easy when it is too hot. Or everyone could…

I am watching the weather so I don’t pick the hottest days to run, but it is starting to get harder. I also don’t want to run in the rain, and that’s when it’s cooler. What a dilemma. So we have Biking and Rowing options for the next two weeks, and only one Run. MONDAY…

Now that summer is here, not technically but practically, I am starting to look for days that are cooler and without rain to be outside. It is healthier to be outside in the sunshine, than to be shut up all day inside your controlled environment. So let’s enjoy being outside while we are exercising to…
