A huge congratulations to Kimmie for her first Muscle Up!!!! She has worked so hard on this and I am seriously stoked to see it happen. 

Just a note about her Muscle Up....Often times athletes are looking for an easy way to get something. Sometimes it could be as simple as a cue a coach gives you, more times than not though it is through hard work and practice. Kimmie worked her muscle up daily for weeks, hell maybe even months, and that's why she was successful today. Keep this mentality in mind when you are approaching movements that you struggle with.

Crossfit is so much more than just a gym.....It's all about the community! Thank you for being so damn cool. 

 

My Dad came by tonight, he comes by about once every other week or so to say hello and check up on me. As he was leaving all he could say was..."wow...you guys really have something great going on here." 

 

I couldn't agree with him more! A Crossfit gym is a place to meet new friends, get some stress out, and get more fit in the process. 

 

Thank you for making it such a great place. Please let me know if their is anything we can do to make it better.

 

 

Speaking of community.....(love Chris in this by the way).

Don't get all caught up in the way this guy breaks down the muscle's involved. Bottom line, your lifting a heavy object from right above the floor to your chest....has some functional application for sure.
