Each year for Memorial Day we host an Event at CrossFit Thermal called “Murph”.  Murph is a Hero workout, performed in the honor of Lt. Michael P Murphy, who was killed in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan in 2005.  Since we opened in 2013, we’ve hosted this workout unofficially to honor his sacrifice and the sacrifices of all service men and women killed in combat.  In addition it’s been a great event for our community bringing us all together in the spirit of Memorial Day for a great cause and a great workout.  This year, we’re getting ready early and plan to do even more for this amazing cause!  Go to the official site and register, you’ll be required to make a donation, but you’ll be registered as an official participant this way and receive a tee shirt and or hat.  Show up and participate – you don’t have to...Read more

Ok Thermal, its time to announce our annual Spring Nutrition Challenge. For the past few years we’ve tried to add something unique and fun to our challenges. The idea of counting calories, starving yourself or having certain foods be off limits 100% of the time tends to be less attractive and thereby harder to stick with. This season we are flipping the script and going with a challenge that aims to INCLUDE certain foods, as opposed to avoiding or limiting them. This approach also pushes out poorer choices. To amass the needed 8 servings, you’ll have to make better choices throughout the day (since 8 servings of fruits and vegetables is tough to consume in one sitting). So while “anything goes” in the diet, you will likely find yourself reaching for the piece of fruit over a poorer choice to stay on track. The Challenge Eat 8 servings of fruits...Read more

If you’ve been keeping up with our posts about the Open, hopefully you’re getting excited, if you’ve missed some of the content, check out this post. Our Facebook page also has a few videos you can watch to get the gist of whats going on. For right now I wanted to let you know where we are with regard to teams. As you know this year we’re making the Open about fun and community with less emphasis on making it to regionals (which don’t exist anymore…tear). Choosing teams is always a sensitive issue, but here at Thermal, we’re taking that right out of the equation; here’s how. Since your value as a participant is largely based on your ability to have fun, complete the workouts and show team support, randomizing teams from the outset is best. No one gets picked last, there are no clicks formed or people left out....Read more
