Open Gym is for those who have missed a WOD that they really wanted to do. Or for those who want to work on a particular skill. Or maybe for someone who wants to work on a movement that they want to improve, but want to put it into a workout. This Open Gym opportunity…

Everyone did so well on the Age Group Online Qualifiers last week and on the CrossFit Total. These are good tests to see what you can do. Those heavy weights and difficult movements are what more and more of the top athletes can do. We don’t necessarily have to keep up with the elite athletes,…

Let me know by text or e-mail as soon as possible if you want Festival tickets for the CrossFit Games in Madison August 1-5. Or tell me if you want combination Festival and Coliseum tickets instead.
