Monday ***Bro Alert**** Bench Press Day! But we’ll be keeping it light for this one. Pick a weight that you can get at least 8 reps with unbroken. Yes, I know there are plenty of dudes at the Sweat Shop that can get way more than 8 with 135lbs., but don’t worry, just rep it […]
I still remember when Celeste first started at the Sweat Shop. She started in the class we had for CrossFit beginners, called Fit for CrossFit. For the first month or two she would only lift the wooden dowel…. even for exercises like the back squat! Eventually I would add 2 1/2 lb. plates to the […]
If you come to the Sweat Shop in the afternoon, you’ve no doubt worked out with Livi. One would think that she has the perfect job with zero stress, because every time she comes into the gym she greets us with a warm smile and a super positive attitude! You can even count on her […]

Starting next Monday September 11th, we’re going to be trying out a 9:30am class on Monday and Wednesday mornings. We’ll re-evaluate after a few months, by which time, hopefully it’s gained enough popularity to become a permanent class!

Matt O’Neill, or as Bri likes to refer to him as, “Mobility Jesus”, is having a seminar at SPS in Oakland on Saturday Sept. 9th from 12:30-2pm for $30. Jacqueline, Bri, Helen, Art and myself have all […]

Originally intended to give props for personal records it has also been really useful for helping hold people accountable for extra credit work. While James had the idea years ago of a “Extra Sweat-It” board, where the coaches would write up accessory […]
Look for a complete recap of Jacqueline’s weekend later this week from JB. I on the other hand want to give my insight from what I experienced at the CrossFit Games with it being my first time I’ve been since 2013. Compared to Los Angeles, Madison was a cool little town, just a short, and […]
