Graduated!

Big congratulations to Grace, Connor, Miche and Eric for participating and completing our very first Foundations (On-Ramp) program. Were the classes full of information? Did you learn a lot? Do you feel good about joining in on our normal classes? Can I ask enough questions?


Grace and Connor: so eloquent

----

WOD

"ANNIE"
50-40-30-20-10 reps for time:
double unders
situps



Remember the progression for the double-under:

  1. High cadence singles
  2. Low cadence singles with higher jump and a slight pike
  3. Quick twist of wrists

AOD/QOD:


What do you think? If you train with us, you obviously believe in our methodology. You believe in moving larger loads, longer distances faster. You believe in variance, in functionality, and intensity.

We know that safety is paramount to our training. Mechanics, consistency, THEN (relative) intensity. 

I can't speak for all of the affiliates. Our CrossFit gym is not a hardcore fitness cult. We do not condone working so hard that you throw up (but you'll definitely sweat and grunt!). No one here is training for the Olympics so we're not overly serious about things, nor do we take everything Coach says as gospel. We have fun. We smile and laugh when we work on skills. We go through workouts as a team and encourage each other the entire way to make a better us. We'll joke about how tall and lanky Max and Jake are, how Mikey has the ugliest workout faces, and how Mike S. is Mr. Universe.


Mikey


Mr. Universe

We have a community of people who want healthier and more active lifestyles. We know that it's a lifelong pursuit and not a quick fix. If it's easy it's sleazy. Our members are champions in their own rights: we work hard for ourselves daily. Muhammed Ali had a great quote:
Champions aren't made in the gym. Champions are made from what they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
Everyone at Foundation CrossFit has a desire, a dream, a vision. We're building both our skills and our wills each and every workout.

CrossFit is safe, efficient, and fun, and our way of reaching our goals.
