15 min Row or 5K



Go for max distance in 15 min on the row machine or go for fastest time on the 5K. Your choice...I'm a giver :)!

Have you ever wondered why we do tire flips or sand bag runs or med ball runs around the block here at the gym? I found this article in the CrossFit Journal that explains it better than I could.

Rest Day


I just want to take this space to compliment the new athletes we have in the gym. Dawn, Dorinda, Sean, and Xavier. You all have impressed me with your willingness to give it all. I've already seen huge gains in strength and stamina from everyone. Remember, the 1st 10 Fundamental workouts are just the beginning. They give you knowledge and skill necessary to do the other workouts well. So, keep it up and great job.

Here's Xavier taking out some aggression on the p-bag during TAB's Trial. You're not picturing my face on the bag, are you?
