    Hey Folks! Awesome work on todays “Baseline from hell” – the last week or so of programming is going exactly as planned – You guys are setting PRs, crushing WODs, and improving at skills.  Not much more I can ask for!  Let’s just keep putting in the hard work and smiling while we do it!…

    Hey Folks! Holy Deadlift PR’s!  And to think, we’ve barely trained deadlifts at all over the last few months.  They’re potent!  You don’t have to hammer through tonnes and tonnes of reps of Deadlifts to get better at them (though you do have to do them sometimes).  You guys are living proof that hard work and…

    Hey Folks! Awesome work on todays WOD – looks like the pull-ups were just challenging enough – PERFECT.  Remember Folks, take the time to build up strength on strict pull ups before diving into too many kipping pull ups – It’s better for the health of your shoulders. Thanks to Folks starting to fill up the…

    Hey Folks! Great work on todays simple, but not easy wod.  It didn’t take me long before my thoughts were, “man we’ve been doing a lot of burpees lately!” which is one of those things that little hater inside your mind tells you to get you to slow down during the WOD.  Don’t listen to…

    Hey Folks! Great weekend!  Jubba programmed a fun WOD for Saturday and We had a good time on Sunday too.  Next Saturday we’re having people out to the gym for a Christmas party potluck.  Write on the whiteboard what you’d like to bring.  We’ll be starting right around 5 and going until people don’t want…

    Hey Folks! Great work today on the “impossible WOD” 🙂 Bud managed to get 12 burpees into the second round!  I believe Caz was the next closest – but all of you crushed it and laid it all out there, and that’s what matters! Christmas Party: November 30th. 5pm-ish start time. Potluck. Some games (minute…

    Hey Folks! PR City!  Awesome work on not only PRing your Front Squats, but also many 2k row PRs!  You guys are the best. CrossFit Kids has been going great so far, we’re sorry if a rogue dodgeball beans you though… also… you’re “out” if they do. Warm up 2 Rounds – 10 dislocates, 10…

    Hey Folks! Awesome effort on the WOD today – some pretty quick times went up!  We’re starting the process to design some hoodies – once again, zip up or pullover?  Right now pullover is winning as most people have a fair amount of zip ups already.  Also – elaborate design?  logo and snappy quote?  or…

    Hey Folks! Killer fast WOD today – you guys did great.  There were also a tonne of jerk PRs today!  All that hard work is paying off, right? We’re inviting members and their significant others out for an Xmas party on November 30th at the gym!  A fun WOD that day and then a little…

    Hey Folks! I hope you all had an awesome weekend – I hit a mean WOD at Element CrossFit and then celebrated my brothers Bday, which was nice.  Thanks to Caz and Lisa for covering the gym for me (and Eric for covering Friday night).  Yay fitness! Congrats to Trista on the birth of her…
