I think we all can agree that CrossFit is a very challenging sport, almost impossible to master. There are always going to be movements we can do faster, thoughts we can control better and ways to grow stronger. I feel it (and hear it) quite often at the box, women feeling frustrated and confused in…

I started CrossFit in order to take up space. In order to be powerful. And explosive. And physically present in my life. How does that happen? How do we lose that? The ability to be visible. To stand with our shoulders back. To walk into a room and fearlessly connect. To unapologetically take up space in this world. CrossFIt. Moving…

When I found out I was pregnant, I could not wait to be one of those badass pregnant moms overhead squatting with a still semi-heavy barbell in my hand. I imagined Crossfitting up to my due date and making sure I had that same barbell back in my hands after my six-week postpartum checkup. BOY WAS…

Anxiety is common when you start working out somewhere new. Maybe you are a long-term traveler or you work in different locations or you just moved to a new city. Regardless of the reason, for some people fear of going to a new gym can be so severe that it interferes with just getting through…

CrossFit is one of the fastest growing fitness movements on the planet. And whether you are, or hoping to someday become one, chances are you already know a person who is an avid CrossFitter. If you log onto Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, or Twitter, someone you know is right now bragging about his or her…

When I started working out many years ago it wasn’t because I wanted to, but to lose some kilos. This was the beginning of years of seldom used memberships in fitness centers, boring and rare running outings and the ever present nagging feeling, I am not doing enough. I couldn’t even imagine that anybody is…

This week I got to watch 1 Iron Barbell change the confidence of several women in a matter of minutes. Men, too, but just in general our guys will walk up to a barbell with a little more of a “can do” approach and they often have less reservations about lifting. So, big kudos to…

Hey all! I just want to put this out there- I’ve heard a lot from my box about discouragement from not getting quick results even though they've been committed for a month or a couple weeks.  LADIES- This is CrossFit. The entire goal is LIFELONG wellness, NOT a “quick 21 day fix”. If you’re new and…
