Today’s WOD is not an easy one but I ask that you endure it with the thought of the man it is named after. Ruth has blogged about her change of view of this hero WOD after reading “Lone Survivor” which tells of the heroism of Lt. Michael Murphy. If you haven’t read the book, [...]

Alex is one of a few new faces at the gym this month. He’s a super hard-worker who’s eager to learn and we’re happy to have him aboard. Be sure to give him a friendly CrossFit South Bay welcome when you see him around.
We’ll be introducing you to some other newcomers for the New Year [...]
Today, wherever it is that you end up spending the Thanksgiving holiday, know that we are truly thankful for each and everyone of you at CrossFit South Bay. Over the past few months we’ve formed quite a tight little family and it’s been exciting watching it grow. Thank you all for making CFSB the special [...]
We have another birthday – Helen is celebrating hers later today. She has been with us for a few months now and is a regular in Ruth’s 7am classes where she always puts forth strong efforts. Wishing you a great day from all of us at CFSB!
