New Year Resolutions

December 28, 2020

It's that time of year again....when we wind down from the holidays and ramp up for the New Year to come. We can all agree that 2020 threw us many curve balls, and most of us are eager for a new start, a new beginning, a new year! Which brings me to the topic of New Year Resolutions.

Moving forward, the Conquest ID program will start with a 30 minute evaluation. This evaluation will be conducted by Coach Seth, Coach Paul, or myself.

The Mental Game

October 28, 2020

The stronger your mind, the stronger your body will become. Trust me. It's funny, because I often tell newbies that CrossFit is not for everyone. That it takes mental toughness to endure it. And it's cool to know I am surrounded by so many people with strong minds.

Navigating the Holidays

October 12, 2020

Let's admit it, it's HARD eating "clean" through the holidays. Granted, maybe this year will be a bit different due to the pandemic. However, I am sure that there will still be plenty of holiday parties and gatherings and reasons to have just one more sugar cookie.

The Art of the Drop In

September 7, 2020

We were so nervous, waited outside the doors for them to open, just to find out their class was capped and we couldn't take the class. We tried contacting them prior to our visit but didn't have any luck. This was about 11 years ago. It was heart breaking to say the least, but also a good learning experience.

Tips

Do I Need a Rest Day?

August 30, 2020

A way to measure this is obviously fatigue in wods. Are we falling off in wods when we normally wouldn't. Are we lethargic and unmotivated before the wod? These are signs that rest is needed.

Tips

Sore vs. Injured

August 23, 2020

Being sore...what can I say? We all get sore from our daily wods. High repetitions, coming back from vacation, coming back from the shutdown, coming back from just about anything. Mostly our legs, right? After a nasty squat wod, such as Cindy, or the other day with the 45 wallballs per round, or two Saturdays ago with all the squat cleans. I hear it every week, "What is Paul doing to us? I can't walk!". LOL. Makes me laugh. But hey, I hear ya. I can't walk correctly at least once a week from being sore either!

The Future of CrossFit

August 16, 2020

I've been doing a lot, and I mean, A LOT, of thinking about the future of CrossFit, and what we might see in the coming year, and years to come. I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you because to be honest, I only see good things down the road.

Tips

Don't Fail to Scale

August 9, 2020

To be direct, EVERYONE SCALES! Yes, everyone. From Matt Frasier, to Annie Thorisdottir, to Rich Froning, to all your coaches, and to the newbie who has never set foot in a CrossFit gym, or any gym for that matter.
