What is CrossFit?
Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.
The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind. Our terrorist hunters, skiers, mountain bike riders and housewives have found their best fitness from the same regimen.
Thousands of athletes worldwide have followed our workouts posted daily and distinguished themselves in combat, the streets, the ring, stadiums, gyms and homes.

Open Gym Saturdays
We have open gym training on Saturdays.
What's open gym? Open gym is for members to come in and do a WOD previously missed during the week, work on Oly lifting or other skill movements, or attempt the Rigorous Underground WOD (Sub 10 minute silly Heavy MetCon type stuff).On occasion, we may have a focus on one of the Max Effort strength movements (i.e. Low rep deadlifts).
Regardless, open gym means there are no class times. Come in between 8am-12pm. I will direct new/novice CrossFitters on what you need to work on. Example: Almost everyone should come in and warm-up with practicing double-unders.
Open gym Saturdays are perfect to practice the fundamental movements that you are weak in. Med ball cleans, jerks, and the kipping pull-up come to mind... Everyone needs to/can improve on form, technique, and consistency.
Non-member novice/advanced CrossFitters can come in and pay a drop-in fee of $20.

Notes
Ed and Kaelan
For those members who know Ed and Kaelan, I have updates on how they are doing. Ed is in D.C. and loving his job. He received a promotion to lieutenant colonel and continues to CrossFit at a really big box. Kaelan has been ordained and is stationed in San Diego. I'm sure he continues to be in great shape but not sure of his CrossFit status.
