I think James may have done a post about this in the past, but between the last 8 years of blog posts and conversations I’ve had with him, things start to blend together, and without the old blog to reference, I can’t be sure……., so here’s my take. I should start by saying ever since […]
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!

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. Because the way in which the weight is distributed you can lift it up and walk with it with much more weight than […]
I recently discovered a company called SquadLocker, which prints your logo on a pretty big variety of apparel items, and since there are so many members with so many different “tastes” at the Sweat Shop, I thought it would be a great fit. I’ve recently created a Sweat Shop store that is currently open, but […]
