Hey guys, happy Friday (I think some of you are trying rename it Friyay), Tomato, TomAto…anyway. Lots to get out today so I thought it would be a good idea to re-awaken the old Blog! First, shouting out Brian’s AKA B-Hung’s birthday, hope you’re getting in some golf today bro. This week we held our first outdoor classes, thanks to everyone who came out! We’ll continue with these as long as people are into it, and the weather cooperates. That being said if we do have to cancel due to weather or the likelihood of weather in the forecast, we will make all efforts to do so 1 hour prior to the start of class times. Hosting outdoor classes in the rain just doesn’t make sense for plenty of reasons. Additionally, we may get pushed through to the coveted green phase sooner rather than later, so this may soon be...Read more

When we set out to design our new logo, we wanted to make sure we captured the essence of what we do, and not just use a random image and word combination. It turns out that the professionals who actually do this stuff, are pretty awesome. They psychoanalyzed me, and asked over 20 different questions about what we do before delivering over 90 designs for me to look at. I’ve seen a ton of logos in the CrossFit space, and from other micro gyms and you can tell which owners designed them themselves, and which ones asked for help. Ever see a bulldog biting a barbell with a kettlebell for a collar? How about a silhouette of someone snatching a thousand pounds with the name written out in comic sans? Oh those are real logos, they’re out there. I wanted us to be better; here is what our logo means...Read more

Message From Bristol Zick of Zickview Farms; What is “Cow Share” ?  In short, its a group of people (gym members in this case) pooling together to get a “share” of high quality beef.   We sell the meat by hanging weight, which is the weight of the carcass after initial slaughter. Take home weight is approximately 75-80% of this. Each share will break down to approximately 35% ground meat, 40% steaks and 25% roasts. For shares ¼ and larger you can have your beef custom cut, selecting which steaks and roasts you prefer. All meat is vacuum packed and labeled with cut name and weight. Steaks are packed in single packages. The meat is aged for 12 days before it is cut, vacuum packed and frozen. The meat will come frozen and will stay good for 18 months or longer if kept frozen. We are a third generation family farm...Read more

While we hit benchmark workouts at our affiliates throughout the year (1-rep-max back squat, 1-rep-max snatch, Fran, Cindy), the CrossFit Games Open is the time to see how we perform compared to other CrossFitters around the world.
