Coming up on 4 years as a gym, its safe to say we’ve done hundreds of WODs as a group.  We’ve grown a ton over the last year and I feel like we’re starting to have an identity. I’m happy to introduce our first ever batch of “House WODs” These are WODs that we can use as benchmarks that have special meaning to us as a community but they also test our fitness in a broad range of skill and ability.  We had a solid response in attendance for all of these WODs and there was a great buzz surrounding each one. Looking forward to repeating these all by years end…

Josh Everett, TrainHeroic, and the CrossFit™ community rallied together in spectacular fashion to support the Autism community in a worldwide workout event called LiftUpLuke on October of 2013. This “competition for a cause” specifically sought to support early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, raise funds for the Autism Tree Project Foundation in San Diego, and most importantly, turn a global spotlight on the measured and severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world. This year, we’re upping the ante and doubling down our efforts to take the impact of the event to another level. CrossFit Thermal is a registered affiliate supporting “LiftUpLuke” and this year the event will be on 9/23/2017.  Please join us for a great WOD and a great cause.
