Athletic vs Fit
In: Blog
5 May 2009The Crossfit Community is full of self proclaimed athletes. I have a bit of a problem with this. I have grown up playing sports and trained with some true athletes. They come in all shapes and sizes but have a couple things in common. They easily adapt to new skills and learn movements very well. [...]

Bad workout…
In: Blog
29 Apr 2009I thought for a bit about posting these workouts. I wanted to make up my own “bad” workout so nobody got the blame but these were just too unforgiving. It is also nice because they include the warm up and cool down. Let it be understood that i am completely in line [...]

Last word on Beginners
In: Blog
13 Apr 2009Option number 4: Beginners join the group immediately. This one only works for smaller gyms with classes below 5 people. Crossfit ATM has been using this since we started.
