What It's About

Tyler represents.

CrossFit is a lot of things to a lot of people.  It's a sport.  It's a fitness program.  It's a way of life.  The aim is to increase our work capacity.  The aim is to make better people: better husbands, better bosses, better friends.  The quality of life that we are looking for goes far beyond six-pack abs and tight booties; it is about sincere relationships and happy lives. 

Why do you CrossFit?

In The Books

Laurie ready for action

Regionals are officially in the books. It was a fantastic weekend. We braved the elements, worked hard, and connected with the greater CrossFit community. The most amazing part of the whole weekend is how fit CrossFit is making so many people. There was a spectacular number of fit people at the Santa Clara fair grounds this weekend.

The Nor Cal regional and competition directors did a terrific job running a great event. The volunteers and judges were great and fun was had by all. Highlights from the weekend were:

Gilly organizing and preparing food for all and staying at the fair grounds for three nights. We owe her a big Thank You. She made the athletic experience very comfortable.

The epic number of friends and family and spectators that braved the weather and came and supported and cheered us on.

Hollis for coaching eight athletes through 24 workouts in three days with high energy, composure, positivity, a sense of humor, and great care

The team on the pullup, kettle bell swing, double under, overhead squat workout working so well together and with such camaraderie and skill that they finished two minutes ahead of the next team.

Tyler and Baily lifting big weights with big folks

Dave braving the worst of the storm and loving every minute of it

Jesse leading the way of the run handstand push up workout by a huge margin

Coach D winning both her heats on Sunday

And last and not least Laurie. She took 2nd in the run handstand workout, 7th in the deadlift workout, 1st in the hundreds, 2nd in Amanda, and third in the chipper. Her performances in those workouts in the company she did them with are truly amazing. She is so skilled, so fit, and so strong it is incredible.

CrossFit competition is about testing your fitness. It takes what we do each day in the gym to a new level of fun, and new level of commitment, and a new level of intensity. It is awesome to watch, awesome to do, and awesome to be a part of. Now lets get back to work!

And Congratulations to our good friend Annie Sakamoto of CrossFit Santa Cruz Central for qualifying for the CrossFit Games.  It was awesome to see the one of the original "nasty girls" make her triumphant return.

Bitter Sweet

Laurie and Danielle side by side.

Day two was filled with highs as lows for us.  The good news is Laurie and Danielle have made the cut for Sunday.  The weather was unrelenting and left the area filled with water as well as blood, sweat and tears.  Althought our team just missed the cut they ended the day on a high note by winning workout 4 in decisive fashion.   Beating the first ranked team in the competition by over 2 minutes.

Moving Day

Lucas leading our team during the opening cerimonies.

Day one of the Norcal Regional championship was great.  The venue was well organized and the atmosphere was electric.  All of our athletes competed well and represented us as we had hoped, with pose, integrity, and great performances.  Today is a new day and we are ready to go.

If you have a chance please come by the Santa Clara fairgrounds and cheer our athletes on.  There are great vendors and a beer garden for the spectators.  And of course some high level competition.
