Workout of the Day

Summer is apparently in full swing already. I will try to plan running wods when it is not the hottest day of the week and not raining. If we are lucky enough to have both of those happen on the same day, it should be wonderful. Be careful to stay hydrated when it is so…

No Pull-ups this week! No Push-ups either! Murph seemed to take a big toll on some of us and we need a little bit of time to recover. Enjoy the rest for your hands and shoulders, but your legs are not in on this rest period. We are just taking turns with body parts. When…

For those of you with kids ages 3-12/13, CrossFit Kids classes begin Monday June 4th. People have been slow in responding for the younger kids so their class will not begin this week, unless you let Laura A Meece know right away. She will be the trainer for all the kids classes, not me. We…

While I’m thinking about it, I thought I should warn you that the WOD for tomorrow is most likely going to be the WOD that is posted for Friday. The weather prediction is a 50% chance of rain now. Since we did Murph in weather that was only 20-30% chance of rain and lots of…

Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. The gym will be closed on Monday. In order to honor our service members and heroes we will do “Murph” on Tuesday. Even in this special WOD there are scales! Don’t freak out because it is too long. You can choose to do “1/4 Murph”, which is a normal sized…

Let me remind you now that the gym will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday the 28th. Many gyms have a tradition of doing “Murph” every Memorial Day. Our tradition, if we do “Murph”, is to do it on Tuesday following Memorial Day. If the weather cooperates that will be the plan this year. As…

I hope everyone has had a good weekend and whether you are a mother or not, have had a great day. At this moment I am thoroughly enjoying my gift from you! What gift did you give me? Why, for Mother’s Day you gave me the gift of NOT cleaning the gym. Thank you so…

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. The Festival only, cost $99 each for the entire week. The combo tickets range in price from $275-$500 depending…
