Schedule Update:
The Box is closed Monday for regular classes. Open gym is a go between 9:30am and 11:30am. Reach out to your favorite coaching staff and see what other times may be possible.

Our regular cycle will be compromised with a “Lifts For Gifts” style training session this week. We will be performing the back squat, bench press and d-lift combination on Thursday.

So, the “Give it All You’ve Got Friday Challenge” during the 2020 CrossFit Open has come to completion, with the Afro Brutality Baseline following (Tuesday) as a chaser.
Fantastic work from everyone that took the challenge and made it about themselves. To be able to take what you had in your tool box of moves and resiliently preserver week after week, with what ever your RX was at the time, transcended expectations.
I witnessed people, no, athletes. Yes, athletes, everyone that is coached here has an inner athlete that desires to get better, at not just one thing, but everything. It’s proving that every move and workout counts for gain.
Five weeks ago, athlets that didn’t have proper form, took time during the challenge to develop it.
Athletes started to see the fruits of their labor by doing movements skillfully and repetitiously, that they hadn’t done before.
Fitness potential developed, progresses and is maintained when you’re numbers add up properly, number of sessions, days in the gym, number of hours of mobility, recovery, sleep, ounces of water drank, and nutritous calories eaten, etc.
Every challenge comes with an inner set of challenges, or situations that you learn and enriches you. The last five weeks were no different. You learned something, or something you already knew about yourself was exposed at a higher degree, that should compell you to address the matter as a stepping stone. And the next 5 weeks will show increase as well.
Guess what, it’s today, another day, not just another day, but your day. If today or anyday doesn’t go your way, it’s still your day.
Kept in perspective, refining athletic movement and skills, enhance your thinking, and processing abilities, which has carry over to your CrossFit proficiency.
A day at the box is just another practice challenge that you will overcome triumphantly. Your days here are all triumphs, achievements made and championed in part of the demands prescribed and persistently tackled.
You reading this today, your day, is proof.
Got something to prove to yourself?
Set expectations.
Be a sensation and an inspiration.
Be a sensation to yourself and an inspiration to others.
