Plain and simple.

Suffer for an hour, because our Hero's deserve it!

Great Job to everyone who completed a Hero WOD (or two) today.

I am an American Soldier.

I am a Warrior and a member of a team.

I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

I will always place the mission first.

I will never accept defeat.

I will never quit.

I will never leave a fallen comrade.

I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.

I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.

I am an expert and I am a professional.

I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

I am an American Soldier.

MEMORIAL DAY

Memorial day was originally called Decoration Day and is a day for remembrance of those who have died in our Nations service.  With the challenges of our daily life, we sometime forget that there were a lot of brave men and women that paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend the values of this great country.  It is on this day that we should take some time to truly appreciate what it is that they have done with great pride and honor.  You may or may not agree with the policies of our government, but it would be appalling to think that you do not appreciate what these REAL LIFE HEROS have done for us!

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. 

~John F. Kennedy

 If you have been contemplating CrossFit, don't wait....Just jump in!  The only way to get better at ANYTHING is to just start.  We help take the guesswork out of getting fit.  Our trainers program workouts to help elicit the BEST RESULTS in the shortest amount of time.  Sure, you may have heard that CrossFit is really hard, but DAD was right when he said; "anything in life worth having is worth working for!"  

See ya soon!

A lot of heat was generated at the 9am Saturday class.

Interesting note: Nash's Mom Sandy makes the best cookies in the world... But they are not Paleo or zone friendly.

DEADLIFT'S

Deadlift's are like cookies... You just can't get enough of them!

Friday

Friday WODs at 6a, 9a, 11a, 3p, 430p, 530p, 630p.

Football at 530p. 

NOTE:  Due to the lack of participation in the afternoon Football Class we find it is in CrossFit Redding’s best interest to replace the slot with a class that will be beneficial to the majority of our clients and the Affiliate.  

Starting on June 1st, we will implement a Monday, Wednesday, Friday BARBELL class.

We as Trainers fully understand the effectiveness of a strength based program. As Affiliates and our Clients begin to see the need for it in CrossFit Competitions, a strength based class will provide an opportunity for those who choose to pursue it.  The new class will relieve the overcrowding of our regularly scheduled CrossFit classes and enable us to give you additional individual attention as well. The Barbell Class can also be taught by any of the CFR instructors allowing for a flexible schedule and productive use of the Training Staff.

NEWSFLASH!!!

We failed to get it on yesterdays post, but Char gets her first muscle up, and wins a set of rings from CrossFit RX Stars

 On tuesday, we had an impromptu Olympic Weightlifting competition where the focus was more on Max weight lifted, but Thursday was more about speed.

As the May Fundamentals classes wraps up, we can't help but to mention that the June Fundamentals class will be kicking off the Tuesday the 1st at 730p.

If you're questioning yourself... should i make that commitment? The answer is yes! why wouldn't you want to train in a program that increases work capacity, forges you into an athlete (yes you are an athlete) all with the camaraderie of the CrossFit community

Wednesday was Jordans Birthday!  Now he's older and we are fitter!

3 rounds of 23 reps of each: J-ump on a box, O-verhead Squats, R-ows with a kilo plate, D-ouble unders, Y-not do Pullups or Pushups.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JORDY!!!

Wednesday

The Get Lean 30 day challenge is on!  No Cheating!

We had a little Olympic Weightlifting competition as the WOD all day Tuesday.  After a good warm-up, everyone got 3 attempts at both the Clean and Jerk as well as the Snatch.

It was amazing to see how well everyone did; even when the pressure was on.  There were quite a few PRs.

It's hard not to notice that we have some strong people working hard at CrossFit Redding.

Curb your cravings...

We are fortunate to live in California where fruit and vegetables are so abundant. Take advantage of these gems! We have local farmers markets, and grocery stores that do a decent job at promoting locally grown produce. Getting lean starts with your diet!!!

Sunday

Sunday equals REST

It's suppose to be a nice day, so get out and enjoy it!

Saturday was the kickoff of our 30 day Get Lean challenge.  We had quite a few people stop by and get their measurements.  If you want to get in, let us know and we'll set up a time to get your numbers.  30 Days, all out!  Gain muscle mass, lose fat!  It's as simple as that!

There was a showdown on Saturday morning between Rob and Paul.  They are always battling each other on times in our daily WODs, but rarely do they actually go head-to-head.    

It's on!

 

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Deep in Battle

Hurry...MOMMA STEPH is catching ya!

 

ROB...VICTORIOUS, By One Second! 

 

So Every Second does count!
