by Coach Fox Our bodies are made up of a lot of water. Not drinking enough can cause thirst and dehydration, but it can also affect our brain functions and performance at the box by causing us to feel unmotivated, tired, and lazy. Don’t wait until you notice symptoms of dehydration. Actively prevent this by…

Whether we know it or not, our mindset towards a workout and the thoughts we have before, during and after a WOD affect our abilities to perform. I want you to imagine that it’s 8:00 pm and you check the WOD for tomorrow. 21-15-9 Overhead squat 95/65 Double-unders Toes-to-bar If the first thing you thought…

I started CrossFit what seems like an eternity ago in Feb 2010. I had just turned 35 and was looking for a new challenge. I was immediately hooked. Most of the movements I had never done before. I was constantly learning and getting new PRs so it was a lot of fun. But then came…

A Fitness Journey – Tyler

I never thought of myself as overweight, but was told by friends and family that I was husky. In 2008 I thought that was a good thing. It only took a breakup with a girl for me to change my ways, to switch my terrible routines, and to ultimately start my fitness journey. Although still,…
