One of the things that really caught my eye when I first went to my Level 1 seminar by CrossFit was the lecture that we had on virtuosity. There’s a letter in the journal written by Coach Glassman in which he describes what virtuosity is. He prefaces the definition with how to achieve a perfect…
Cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s. There’s a host of other but let’s call these the big 4. This quote from medicinenet.com, “chronic diseases generally CANNOT be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.” These are disease that doctors, generally, do not have a cure for and that is because…
CrossFit training by and large has always been done in a group setting. It was originally due to the number of clients CrossFit founder Greg Glassman had and the amount of time he had in the day. He couldn’t do 12 one-on-one sessions anymore, so he discounted some people and threw them in with a…

I’ve said on here before and out loud a million times over, I’m never going to try to force someone to do CrossFit or tell them they have to be doing it. I will invite people to come try a workout, but if they turn me down a couple times, I’ll just let it go….
Just forewarning you now, this is going to get pretty sciency. I will do my best to limit the super dense language of it though. Our last blog covered a case study between a set of twins in which one brother died prematurely of diabetes/obesity, while the other went on to be a super ripped…
As we kick off the New Year, a common sentiment we get from people is that it’s just in their genes to be big or fat. They’ve always been that way and there’s nothing they can do about it. Well, today we dispel that myth. We are going to present you a TRUE story written…
