Anyone that has been to a 6am class has undoubtedly trained alongside Mayumi. She’s the one that can be found flying through metcons with a seemingly never-ending battery. Despite having three young children, she still finds time to get in the gym and smash workouts first thing in the morning. Read more about Mayumi below! […]
Looking at the weather forecast I see nothing but clear skies and highs in the mid to upper 60’s, which for December is not good if you’re looking to get up to Tahoe, but for those working on our fitness we might as well take advantage of this unseasonable dry weather with some running. Monday […]
Helen continues to rack up some great finishes in olympic lifting! Two weeks ago it was 3rd overall at the SPS Rite of Passage meet. This time with the 2017 CrossFit Liftoff, which consists of a 1-rep max Snatch, 1-rep max Clean & Jerk, and a nasty 12 minute metcon. Points are given for each, […]
