The Under Armor Training facility in Tampa Florida:

So after about 8 hrs of traveling I finally arrived at the facility today. The easiest way for me to sum this place up is to say that it reminds me of the island on LOST only instead of weird stuff going on like dark creepy shadows killing people (have to watch the show to understand). It is an dedicated to badass athletes trying to get better. Young adults come here and live year round going to school and practicing their sport. This facility is specifically geared towards up and coming pro athletes or pro athletes themselves.

 

A handful of Crossfit athletes from all over the country were asked to come out here and learn new skills/ get tested on our skills. I am extremely fortunate to be a part of it.

 

So far today I only got to see a small portion of this amazing place, tomorrow I should have some more pics and info.

Part of the weight room

 

Not sure if you can see but this is a football field with square targets to hit at the end. Today we did a team workout out here.

  

One of the many indoor facilities they have on campus. I forgot to take a pic but the tennis facilities are inside of what looks like an airline hanger.

 

  

Today I was promised a snack on my flight. As usual I was excited for some free food. Unfortunately I wasn't as excited once I saw what they were offering. Every single item they gave me was a carbohydrate. It's pretty sad when this is such a common meal for so many people for breakfast. Hopefully one day people were turn the corner and get some eggs, avocado, and bacon....doesn't that sound so much better anyways?

Workout for Tomorrow:

Plane meals/snacks are yucky. Bring your own snack! Jacob and I brought some trail mix from Whole Foods and almond butter-banana sandwich on sprouted wheat bread on our trip to China/Tibet. So much better than the crap they give you.

Thumbs up on the facility, and a big "Eeeeewwwwwww" on the snacks!

Kimmy, you're back! and you're right, definitley need to bring your own snacks on board!

There's a great article from the Affiliate page just posted, from Melinda at CrossFit Durham, who lost 110 pounds via CrossFit and good nutrition: http://bullcitycrossfitters.blogspot.com/2010/03/holy-hundred.html

For a second there, I thought you were going to tell us "Hey guys! Look at our NEW BOX!! " LOL but wouldn't that be just a dream..

That place looks amazing Jason!

And that crap for airline food they gave you is just plain gross! What is that-- Delta? Man their service has sure tanked! You need to come over to the bright side and enjoy that avocado & bacon omellette on your future private jet.. still dreaming here, you know..
