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. While there were several of us, including myself, that didn’t improve from last year, there were some new names at or near the top of the Sweat Shop leaderboard! There were also […]
With snatches and pullups in 17.3, Kanye’s Krew has finally taken a win for the week, and has also held on to the overall lead. It’s still however a really close race with only 78 points separating the 1st place team from 4th place team. Shout out to all teams as we had fewer people […]

Ok first things first, with the CrossFit Open starting this week I want to let everyone know when we’ll be running heats of the Open workouts, and which classes will be affected. The workouts are announced each Thursday afternoon at 5:00pm. We’ll have the live broadcast on the t.v. at the gym. During the announcement, […]
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 […]
