So Saturday’s workout was tough- insanely tough. We had teams of two grind out 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 situps and 400 squats. Sounds hard enough, but it gets harder. Only one team member can work to accumulate counted reps. The team member that is not accumulating reps must be swinging a kettlebell. If the [...]
In the course of conversations in the gym, you may have heard trainers or other members talking about taking fish oil capsules. While CrossFit does not typically recommend much in the way of supplements, a good fish oil source would be the exception. The list of benefits are simply too numerous to overlook. There is [...]

As a matter of fact, yesterday’s WOD was a result of that exchange. It’s a great way to subscribe to a site’s [...]
After the WOD is over, you’re usually done, right? You’re spent, left gasping for air and you just want to lay down. However, it’s better to do a “cash out” or “finisher.” Work on a skill like Avelyne is doing above. This skill work following a WOD will carry over into other movements resulting in [...]
Next week, March 28, we will be offering our monthly FREE workout on 9th street in Hermosa Beach. We’ll be doing what we do on the sand beginning at 11am. Tell your friends and family. It’ll be the perfect opportunity for someone to get their first intro to CrossFit. There will still be a 9am [...]
There is an epidemic spreading across the gym. It started with one athlete and has spread to two more! What might this affliction be? Kipping Pullup FIRSTS! Avelyne (pictured above), Anna, and Michelle all got their first kipping pullups within days of each other. Although we don’t have pictures of these monumental events, you are [...]
