A bunch of you stepped it up and did burpees pull-ups instead of doing burpees and band pull-ups. Even if it was only a few, it’s  a start. Great job. Today marks 3 Wednesday, so 1 cycle of our powerlifting movements. We will be moving back to the back squat next Wednesday which you should be adding weight to based on this current cycle. Keep up the good work. See you tomorrow. Cheers. Kris gritted through it and did all 100 burpee pull-ups Our second CF Kids class…there will be another on on Saturday, October 1st All 3 down to the burpees – Jade

WOD: Clean and Jerk: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 C2 Rowing Intervals:4 x 500m w/2 minutes rest (don’t deviate more than 3 seconds across all 4 intervals) Post results/thoughts to comments Great work today everybody. We saw a bunch of PR’s on the clean and jerk and you all tore it up on the rowers. Remember the clean and rower are similar in that, those legs and hips need to extend all the way before any arm pull happens. Keep that in mind, be efficient, and create some power. Hope to see lots of you tomorrow. Cheers. Rick with a big PR at 160lbs Cranking the rowing intervals – Jade

It’s great to see so many faces in the gym. We’ve had almost 20 new members come on this month between the On-ramp, privates, and college students, and we’ve seen a few of our members who were gone for the summer resurface. With that being said, it’s promising to see so many folks in and things look better as we are working on negotiating a lease at a new space. A couple quick things below for you all. Coaches If you haven’t noticed our schedule has shuffled around a bit. In addition we’ve added some new coaches. Dani, and Laura are now teaching classes, and for those who weren’t here in the spring Trevor is back from…

A reminder that there will be a FREE CrossFit Kids intro class this Wednesday, the 21st at 3:30 PM. Bring them in and get them sweaty.

Kim and Jeff Dannies, and Jennifer and Richard Vaughan atop Mt. Rainier…Great job guys
