"I love this video, you can tell it is one of the original CrossFit videos by one of this sports pioneers and good friend of mine Andy Petranek" Coach L.K
It’s my Birthday and I’ll cry if you make me? For my “21st” Birthday I partied in Vegas till 4 in the morning. When I turned “26″ I celebrated by opening a Night Club and at “30″ I celebrated by the Grand Opening of CrossFit Scottsdale. So what does the owner and Coach of a CrossFit want this year? “Hell Week” 5x days of the hardest most physically and mentally challenging training on the planet. SEAL FIT is an integral and functional Mind-Body-Spirit training program developed by former Navy SEAL, competetive athlete and martial artist Mark Divine. Combining training of the mind, body and spirit in the warrior athlete tradition, SEAL FIT is a full-spectrum functional fitness, mental toughness and self awareness training program.
SEAL FIT is popular with CrossFit and competetive athletes, special ops candidates and any professional who seeks to develop serious mental toughness and fortitude, and learn to operate at peak capacity for long periods of time. SEAL FIT emphasizes Strength, Stamina, Work Capacity, Endurance and Durability development. Our primary tools are CrossFit, SEAL-inspired Team and Mental Toughness Training, Austere Tools, Hybrid Programming and the Environment. Here is an example of Seal Fit programming. We will be starting a “Hell Week” style training program in October. 2x workouts a day for 5x days. Participants who accomplish and achieve this honor will be recognized on the Warrior wall of fame and have a limited edition “Hell week” CrossFit Scottsdale t-shirt.
Warm Up: Run 2 miles at a moderate pace. Max rep kipping pull-ups, or minimum of 40.
Strength: Work to 1RM Push Jerk
Stamina: 5 Rounds, not timed: 3 x PJ @ 90% 1 RM, 10 x KTE, Buddy Carry 50 M

Durability: 50x GHD situps. 50x GHD back extension. Stretch.
Just another CrossFit Scottsdale Level I test complete with PR's, sweat, cheers, and even pukie made an appearence. We had another great turnout for the Level I test complete with guests, current Level I and Level II athletes and even Mom and Dad. Each time we have a Level test, it is a chance for our students to see how they stand up to the standards we have as a School of Elite Fitness. Even for those athletes who did not recieve the white band this time, you now know what to work on. Chase your weakness. The next Level I test is October 14th at 6:30pm. For those of you that did receive your white band, be proud, you are the new leaders in class and set a new goal for your orange band and Level II.
Congratulations to all the new Level 1 students:

The Freaky 5K Prelims

How do you feel about running? Do you love running and want to keep getting better and faster? Do you hate running and find it frustrating? In either case, the only way to improve is to KEEP RUNNING. Nobody gets better at anything by NOT doing it. Every great athlete at one point was the new guy, learning, fumbling and failing just like the rest of us. People who have achieved "mastery" don't ever stop the work, though. They exercise their "show up, don't quit" attitude over and over. A great way to make the "work" interesting is to put some "skin in the game" and to do it with a group of like-minded people.
Which leads me to...the CrossFit Scottsdale 5K Challenge. Are you in?? Cost is $25.00 per participant. Sign up by emailing infor@CrossFitScottsdale.com or signing up at the gym.
