Great classes! Great WODs! Great day! Plan on a “Game’s Type” WOD once a month. Competition brings out the best in everyone.

   Great class! Thanks for all the support Maria, you made it fun!

There are no ‘3 Sets of 8.’ Not a single ‘triceps kickback’ to be found. And while we have lots of novel exercises to ‘work your core’ and ‘improve your stability,’ we prefer to teach you to move better in your own skin than stand you on a blue-pimple novelty and watch you quiver.

We make big claims: that we create an elite level of fitness. That we get you places you’ve never, ever, ever been before. That their workout is our warmup. To back those claims up, we have to do movements that are efficient, challenging, and get you far more bang for your buck than a selectorized machine ever could.

A clean and jerk, for instance: once a staple of the workout crowd, and a fundamental lift for improving your grocery-carrying and storage, is banned from nearly every ‘fitness club.’ For all the wrong reasons, too: it requires coaching, chalk, and the occasional drop of a barbell from overhead. Knowledge plus cleanup plus noise? Not an option if your teenage ‘personal trainers’ have to learn it all in a two-day course.

But a clean and jerk is a big lift, requiring a lot of energy. From a purely mathematical standpoint, it’s four times as challenging as a bench press. If it seems scary, it’s only because you haven’t seen it around much – or have you? Lifting your bike onto your roof racks – that’s a clean and jerk. Storing your Christmas lights on the top shelf – that’s a clean and jerk. Doing it in the gym first just makes you break fewer bulbs. And fewer backs.

That’s right: contrary, maybe, to what you’ve been told, this stuff prevents injuries. The strongest, safest backs in the world belong to powerlifters, NOT bed-resters. Knee injuries are typically the result of misuse, imbalanced use (the knee extension machine, anyone?) or non-use. Deadlifts don’t hurt your back – given the right chance, they’ll save it. Ask around: chiropractors, physiotherapists, and doctors send patients to us. We modify our methods for the injured, yes. But they’re on the same road as our competitive CrossFitters, albeit a different starting line.

We choose to exercise in boxes. While exercisers from the 1920’s,1930’s,1940’s, and 1950’s would feel right at home, the modern machine-indoctrinated fitness pursuer will struggle to comprehend our methods. At least, at first. Slowly, they’ll recognize little glimmers of sameness. “Hey, I did that as a kid!” “We do squats at my gym…but we don’t go that low.” “I’ve seen this on TV, but I never thought I could do it….”

Our workouts are short, but tough. But you’ll want more. After a month, you’ll find yourself checking our website on a daily basis, and joke about ‘drinking the Kool-Aid.’ After three months, you’ll start breaking your own personal bests and bringing your friends. We’ve grown because CrossFit is amazing, our community is incredible and you get results…not because we have a special limited-time offer on our membership.

Now, there’s no denying that for most people, once they’ve been immersed in CrossFit, they can’t ever go back to average. It tattoos you. And once you’ve offered up your fresh, pink skin to the prick of the needle, its mark is indelible. You can’t undo CrossFit; once you’ve been painted, you can’t go back to beige.

There’s joy in sweat. There’s family in common discomfort. There’s a chemical addiction that comes from challenging yourself this way. There’s pleasure in learning new stuff every single time you’re in the gym. That’s what CrossFit is: sweat+community+knowledge. Call it what you like.

Thank you CrossFit Affiliate site and CrossFit Catalyst for a great post.

Congratulations to all 19,684 finishers in this years Pat Tillman Run. A special shout out to all of Team CFS. Once again you guys ROCKED the house. “Those guys are crazy” I heard a few times this morning. My Crossfit KIDS Dave & Paxton finished in one hour and my girl Alison finished her 1st race ever!

When we arrived back at the box the 9am class was finishing off the “42″ and gave us a huge welcome that made  us feel like Gladiators. So for a few demented individuals who enjoy long runs carrying heavie loads and PAIN we decided to join the 10am class and … “Oorah” The 1st times are todays, the 2nd are last years and the 3rd is todays “42″. Enjoy your weekend and get ready for what’s next… Coach

It was great to stop in the other day and say hello and thanks for getting me ready for my African adventure. Let me tell you, there’s absolutely no way I would have been able to stand up to the physical and mental rigors of the trip if it had not been for you and the staff helping me get my mojo back.

  My roughly month long excursion included 3,200+ miles, 10-14 hour days of riding, little sleep, extreme temperatures and elements, constant risk of one kind or another, and absolutely required 100% mental focus at all times.  Not to be over dramatic, but the mindset required for this trip was exactly the one you preach of “Show Up, Don’t Quit.”  My British riding friends on the trip had their own typically British version stating “No matter how hard it is, best get on with it.”  I don’t want to make it sound like this was anywhere near the level of Nolan or others that are in the service, or law enforcement, but for me, it was a visit back to the days when controlled aggression/assertiveness and a focused determination was the best defense against the situation. 

  I’m definitely looking forward to coming back in, I’ve lost approximately 20-25 lbs, much of it muscle, so I anticipate starting over from square one.  This is OK, I’m eager to start pushing through familiar road blocks, then breaking through the new ones as well.  One of the ways I tried to entertain myself was to wear my CrossFit Scottsdale shirt as much as possible and try to take pictures wearing it in interesting locations.  I’m attaching a few pics, and definitely want to let you know I was representing everywhere I went.  In fact, some of the other riders were asking me about it, several that had done some of the “P90X” or “Insanity” programs prior to coming.  I told them about my experiences and success, and they mentioned it sounded light years beyond their training. Thanks again for everything, see ya soon!!!
