Matt is the guy in the blue shirt. This is seriously the only picture I could find of him. We don’t get too picture happy at the 6am class. Matt Anderson came to us from Twin Freaks CrossFit in Longmont as kind of a round fellow. Several months of hard work combined with some paleo dietary habits and people [...]

We’ve all had that moment following a workout when we’ll grab onto just about anything to keep us from shaking uncontrollably. After the 5 rounds of 5 thrusters, 5 pullups, and 5 burpees Andy was even willing to grab onto the wretched thing that caused him the pain. I’m not really going anywhere with this narrative, I just thought it [...]
Being a Conviction CrossFitter means that you are part of a team. It is about more than getting in your car, driving to the gym, and having your score, time etc on the whiteboard. Your actions, attitude, and words have an impact on the rest of us. We had several victories yesterday. I want to tell you about one in [...]
Yesterday we had 11 people come in and put up their best effort on the clean. 1 person tied their previous PR and 6 people got a new PR! Awesome work! I will admit though, that I am not surprised. You all have been putting in a great deal of hard work and dedication and it shows. [...]
Mara isn’t letting a little pregnancy get in the way of putting in a good performance on Workout #5. Even at 6am and all alone she put up a great score! 100# power clean? No problem! Toes 2 bar? Sure! Wall balls? Get out of my way! You and S.P.U.D. are making us proud! I am so glad [...]
Good news! Today is the last day of Mustache March! We can all get rid of these hideous things once and for all. If you shave it before midnight then you still cheated. Sorry Lee, Johnny will have to keep it for another night. I snapped this picture of Jason yesterday. I think he won the contest for best(?) mustache. [...]
HP and EP were doing some killer headstands on Tuesday! Good work yesterday! Death by workouts are always a little deceiving. This one had the 9 round or do it again minimum so it was pretty tricky. It always seems so easy on the first few rounds and then all of a sudden you have about 3 seconds of rest [...]
For everyone that is participating in the Nutrition Challenge put down your log books! Today we celebrate the Irish. If you haven’t noticed Jason is a bit Irish, so if you aren’t Irish thats OK….you know someone that is and that’s something to celebrate right? For all others that have decided that one Challenge just isn’t enough and are also taking on [...]
