   “I need to do this for myself…” I’ve heard this many times. Typically, coming from the mouth of someone looking to sign up for a CrossFit membership after spending months to years being sedentary after having/raising children, enduring a stressful job, or taking care of a loved one. While I fully understand the rationale […]

Why We Do This Thing Called CrossFit? I was having a difficult time trying to figure out what to write about for this month’s newsletter/blog. The goal with my blogs have always been to address coaching points that I don’t have the time to address during classes. In essence, I want to extend my ability […]

So, you want to do more than the gyms’ base classes… Almost all of us who do crossfit have at one point in time come to a place in which we’ve wanted more gains. For some, gains = increased fitness while for others, gains = improved body composition. For many, it’s both. If you’ve been […]

Injuries In CrossFit Yep, it’s about time I tackled this one. After all, injuries are probably the #1 reason CrossFit gets a bad rap. We’ve all been told by someone we know, “don’t do crossfit, you’ll get hurt.’’ But is it really true that CrossFit produces more injuries than other sports and training programs? And […]

Foods I Do Not Eat Back in March, I released a blog post entitled ‘What I Eat and Why.” Of all the posts I’ve made, I received the most feedback from that one. So I figured, why not write something about the foods I stay away from and why? Some of these are obvious no-nos […]

Back in 2014 Reebok was the Title Sponsor of the CrossFit Games. Part of the sponsorship contract that year was that the competing athletes could not wear any other shoe, other than the shoes provided, which were of course Reebok’s. We all saw our favorite games athletes in Reeboks competing at the highest levels of […]

This blog is a bit different from prior movement or nutrition related blogs, it might hit close to home. At some point, we’ve all told somebody close to us to come try CrossFit only to hear in response, “I need to train before starting CrossFit.” Of course those of us who workout routinely know that’s […]

Don’t worry, I know there are SOME crazy people who are disciplined to give their best effort at home consistently. But in my 27 years of training and another 15 years of coaching, these are the very few exceptions, not the rule. And most likely if you’re reading this, you aren’t the exception either. (And […]

What I Eat and Why. I like to keep things simple. I don’t worry about my weight primarily in regards to nutrition. In my opinion that’s where most people go wrong! Rather, I want to know that what I’m eating is going to help me achieve my main goal of maintaining my fitness while also […]

If you don’t use it, you lose it! For young people this phrase doesn’t mean much. But as we age movement becomes more and more important and that phrase starts to become reality. The more sedentary we become while getting older can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle with limited mobility. This can lead to chronic […]

  Written by Nash Woods The barbell snatch is arguably the most challenging movement seen in CrossFit, if not across all sport.

Written by Hannah Dykstra        CrossFit puts a high value on functional movements that use the body as a whole versus segmenting body parts into isolation training, the classic “body building” routine. This emphasis trains greater measures of athleticism by applying exercise to movement in ways that may mimic patterns of everyday life. The body […]
