Last summer Will and Kim joined the Sweat Shop after moving to the area from Seattle. Originally from Atlanta, I knew I was going to like them immediately! Kim’s southern accent instantly reminded me of many of my friends I left behind when I moved here in 2004. But now after a year, Will and […]
While Oki Dokey’s Artichokes took Week 5, Kanye’s Krew, lead by Jacqueline as team captain took the overall win. As with most things, consistency and participation played a big part in their team win. Check out the full score card here. With this being the first year that we did an intra-gym competition, I’m already […]
While the dust hasn’t even settled on the completion of the CrossFit Open, many of us are already thinking about what we could have done differently, and what we need to do to better prepare for next year. Whether you’re happy or not about your performance in the Open, I think this is a good […]
Week 4 of the CrossFit Open brought back a repeat workout from last year, as well as the ever difficult handstand pushup standard.

With workout number 2 of the CrossFit Open comes a little shakeup in our intra-gym team competition! Last weeks’ leader, Dragon’s Team One Tribe, finished 4th this week, and last week’s 4th place team, Joel’s Pain Cave Explorers, finished first this week! There were some people that had to drop out due to injury, others […]
First things first. Joel’s Dream Team is now Pain Cave Explorers. Next, I did some preliminary scoring, saw how the teams were ranking up (they were already pretty close) then placed the remaining few free agents on the teams in order of highest ranking free agent, on lowest ranking team, then 2nd highest ranking free […]
Last month we had a big group of masters from the Sweat Shop competing at NorCal Masters. DJ did an great job putting together this highlight video, especially considering the song he used came out almost 30 years before he was even born!
