Congratulations to Andrew & Ashley, who were recently married in Tamarindo, Costa Rica! Be sure congratulate Andrew next time you see him in the gym, he’s easy to spot, with the gloomy weather we’ve been having in the Bay recently, he’s the only one at the Sweat Shop that is showing signs of being at […]
Big props to Chris and Danielle who were our only Sweat Shoppers to complete all 5 of the CrossFit Open Preseason workouts we did in conjunction with CrossFit Walnut Creek. For their hard work they’ll each receive a $15 Hiroshi’s gift certificate and a Sweat Shop t-shirt. Next up is the real deal, the first […]
Big thanks to Marcus and Bri who recently purchased a new yoke for the Sweat Shop! This is a unique piece of equipment that challenges your “core” or “mid-line” unlike anything else.
