Monday With the time change on Sunday it’s going to be getting dark really early now. We’ll have head lamps at the gym for anyone in the later classes that still want to get out and enjoy a run in the mild evening temperatures. I’ve also added some longer row and bike distances […]
Monday Rather than 15 minutes straight AMRAP this one is broken up with just a little run and some double unders. Even though it’s not the same movement pattern, the double unders can still make the pullups and pushups challenging, so Rx’d, ADV. and BEEF folks should break up the pushups or ring dips […]
“keep your chest up on those wall balls!” is something I cued a Sweat Shop member on a week ago. Or “keep the outside of your foot driving through the ground” was a cue I gave a different member just yesterday on the air squat. Which got me thinking, while we may be giving you […]
Before getting into the workouts here are some things/services I discovered over the weekend (or just recently) that I would recommend: Límon Rotisiere – Walnut Creek – the ceviche, pisco sours and poke are all awesome!

The Sweat Shop BBQ is coming up next Sunday Aug.19th, 12:00pm at Heather Farms Park in Walnut Creek! Bring the kids, bring your spouse or significant other, bring whoever! Sweat Shop will be providing the drinks and meat, you guys just bring a side dish. We have reserved the tables located between the volleyball courts […]
For anyone planning on training Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there is some running on each of those days. While it’s less than 2 miles total, spread out over 3 days, for some it may still be a bit much. Keep in mind that rowing, bike, or the ski erg are ALWAYS an alternative, even if […]
