Some things are glaringly obvious!  Did they really need to do a study to figure this out!?!?

A cool FGB video to get you pumped for today!  The music leaves something to be desired, but the camera angles are pretty sick!  How many mechanical flaws can you spot, if any?

We have until Friday September 3rd to get the second round of Rx Jump Ropes ordered!  If you haven't put your name down and cord length down yet, what's stopping you?  We will still be given the bulk rate of $28.66 per rope, but only till this Friday!  For those of you who need to have a different length of cord cut from your first order, turn your current cord in to me with the desired measurement of the new cord and I will let Dave know that yours is to be a replacement cord.

Tuesday, : Raising healthy kids

I'm certain that everyone is aware of the "obesity epidemic" that is occurring with our nations youth!  Everyone is also very familiar with all the kids that can be seen running around the gym!  Just about all of you have met my daughter, Cailyn and Josh and Amanda's son, Adam!

One of the best ways we can keep our kids healthy and active is to lead by example!  This is obviuosly working with Cailyn!  We have video of her trying to deadlift a kettlebell (in great form!).  Showing them that activity is a very important part of your life can lead to them staying active throughout their childhood years.

Another tip is limit their time infront of the screen, i.e. tv or computer!  Keep it to around 1-2 hours per day!  This will help them to understand that there are better ways to unwind and relax.

Look here for more tips on keeping your kids fit, and remeber that we are always happy to see more kids in the CrossFit Kids classes!

Fight Gone Bad 5 is 4 weeks away and we're looking good with 38 team members and close to $2000!  We will also be joining up with Jared Glover and CrossFit 702!  Jared and his team will be coming down to Whole Foods on September 25th to co-host the event with us!  We can also expect a few people from Iron Edge CrossFit in Mesquite to come down and hang out with us!  This is shaping up to be a great, multi-affiliate event!!

Monday, : A cleaner walkway and money to donate!

At our impromtu charity workout this past Saturday, we were ableto raise almost $150 for SMA research!  A very big thank you to those who participated and/or donated.  I had no idea that the topic of SMA had touched some of our members in some way!  I'm glad that those of you who have been affected by SMA or any other condition were able to help support us!

You may notice that the walkway to the gym doors looks much, much better!  When you have the chance, be sure to thank Ash, Bobbie, Erica, and Brooke Nemetz for that.  The whole family sacrificed their Saturday to clean up the outside area of our gym.  You are true friends!  Thanks again!
