Wednesday, : We are hopefully done experiencing technical difficulties

Ok, so hopefully our techincal difficulties are at an end!  Please let us know if some of you are still unable to get to the site due to a Google Warning.  Thanks for your patience everyone.

This past weekend we had the opportunity to host Kelly Starrett of San Francisco CrossFit for his Movement and Mobility Certification.  We all walked away with a bunch of ideas on how to better address functional movements and instruction.  A true gem that we can share with all you right away is mobilitywod.com! 

On this site Kelly puts up different videos of things we can all do to help increase our mobility, performance, and ultimately our fitness.  Some of the videos are challengin enough in their own right!  Each one will address certain movements and problems commonly associated with those movements.  These videos also discuss how to get better at these GOATS.  Take a look at this video dealing with the Overhead Squat:

Here's another one from Tony Blauer, just for fun.

Fight Gone Bad is right around the corner, and we're hoping to see more excitement for it around the gym!!  We'll be asking how many of you have registered for the team.  We'll be programming so as to get ready for game day!  There will also be a donation jar at the front desk for those who would like to help out the causes.

We're doing pretty well at 40 team members and $2200 in donations.  As Sept. 25th draws closer, a big push to get our numbers even higher would be fantastic!

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.
