CrossFit Kanna would like to recognize Leslie Taliaferro as our March Member of the Month! We value Learning, Working Hard, and Having Fun; Leslie embodies all of these things both in and out of the gym. She’s always willing to ask for coaching tips, push her limits in workouts, and show up for social events. During our nutrition…
As Simon Sinek famously made important the WHY behind any company, I thought I would share why I opened up CrossFit Kanna. (This post could easily be 5000 words, but I’m always up for a challenge, so I’ll try to keep it around 500.) EFFICACY, EFFICIENCY, AND FUN!I first heard of CrossFit in 2007, stalked…
CrossFit Kanna would like to recognize Brande Plotnick as our Member of the Month for February! She may have been apprehensive when she first joined (see story below), but Brande fell right in, focusing on incremental improvement and growth. Surprising herself with some handstand push-ups and PRing several lifts like her most recent deadlift level (160# x…
Most things are not in your control. Let me give you an example. This morning I was planning to wake up at 5:30am and write you a blog post. After posting that to our website and then emailing it to you, I would then check emails and then get Connor ready for daycare. The morning…

It’s that time of year where people are coming down with the flu, colds, allergies, and all the sniffles, sneezes, aches, and pains that you wish you never had. So what do you do when you want to hit the gym or go for a run, but you’re coming down with something? Every case will…
It’s been a pleasure having Stew in the Kanna community for the past year. One of the things that sets him apart is his intense drive to attack his weaknesses – not an easy thing to do for anyone no matter how much CrossFit experience they have. Always coming in early and mobilizing and making…
Yesterday I talked about brushing your teeth and working out and how both require regular maintenance to not let problems build up. The opposite problem is having too much of a good thing. Imagine brushing your teeth ten times a day. I’m no dental expert, but I would guess this would be problematic. The same…
