Joe grew up in Flourtown, PA and has always been an active participant in every sport that came his way. He was particularly drawn to the most physically demanding challenges, playing football as a kid all the way through college, learning to ski, snowboard, scuba dive, etc… if it was a challenge, he tried it! As he aged, his love of physical fitness grew as well as desire to keep his body in shape, so he ventured into the various fads, including spinning, and boot camps at the YMCA and LA fitness, but they did not satisfy. Then about 3 years ago, Joe was driving his son to Tee’s for baseball and he saw a couple guys working on the building. Having over an hour to kill while he waited for his son, he stopped and started chatting with Vinny. Yep, that’s right, Joe was the very first walk-in client...

In other words, once you do your 3 front squats and 9 push-ups, you go back to the beginning and start over with 9 front squats and 21 push-ups. Those who need to scale should scale the weight for front squats (keep the reps) but scale the reps of push-ups to something like 15-12-9. Of course you may also modify the movement to a backpack push-up or elevated. Strength Deadlift + hang clean + clean 20 Minutes to...

CrossFit Thermal – Endurance Today marks the last day of Club Endur for the 2016 season. It’s been a great year with tons of sweat, smiles and PRs. As a special treat for the last class we decided to try something different with the programming. One of the most vocal members on the Club Endur programming has been Courtney. For the last three years, she has been making the same comments – even going back to when Club Endur consisted of only two people, Courtney and Pavan. Usually her comments are along the lines of “Are you sure we need to do those extra 400’s??” or “I think you made a mistake in the programming because you can’t really expect us to run that much!”. Today, all programming comments should be directed to Courtney because we decided to let Courtney program the last Club Endur. Her favorite two types of...
