Optimizing The Squat

Over the past six or so years of doing CrossFit, and being around strength training, a common cue for the squat that I have heard is, “sit back on the heels,” or, “you should be able to wiggle your toes in the bottom of the squat.” Both cues are great for teaching people fundamental concepts […]

Thanksgiving Reminders

With Thanksgiving fast approaching I just wanted to cover a few reminders before the big feast. For Thanksgiving day, we are only having two classes, an 8:00 am and 9:00 a.m. The day after Thanksgiving, 11/24, we will be having an 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 a.m. class.

Dr. Alandi Stec, DC

If you have ever worked out at 12 pm class, you have probably gotten to know Alandi. People know her for her contagious laughter and radiating positivity, as well as being a pretty darn good CrossFitter! What many people do not know is that in addition to these things, she is also a Chiropractor. Her office is even […]

Did someone say Booty Burn?

Whether its CrossFit specific, nutrition, or just general lifestyle, if we feel its relevant, we share it! Something I came across recently on Instagram was a simple […]

The Best Part About CrossFit

  Why do we Love CrossFit? As many of you know I celebrated my 23rd birthday yesterday. I truly appreciated the kind words from many of you via in person, on Facebook, or through text message. It really means a lot to me! It reminded me to really appreciate where I am in my life. […]
