You (yes, you) - get in here.  We know.  You're apprehensive.  Your friends have talked about Crossfit.  You've driven by our gym.  You've seen videos on youtube.  And maybe even you've watched Crossfit competitions on ESPN.  And you're wondering "can I do that?"  Yes. Yes, you can.  Not like some of the beasts you've seen online (at least not initially), but this stuff works for everybody.  You can research this all day long but the best way to find out if it's for you is to come in.  We'll coach you through all the movements, ensuring proper form and scaling the intensity appropriate to your level of conditioning.  So, get in here.  We're waiting for you.

To accommodate clients' requests, we have consolidated and are offering a 5:30 am class Monday through Friday.  No other changes to class times.

See ya

This coming Saturday, we will be doing the wod at 8:00 a.m. instead of the usual 9:00 time slot (rationale is we've got a group going to the Regionals in San Antonio and they want to hit the road as soon as possible after the wod).  So, 8 - 9 this Saturday.  No Foundations class after. Everything else resumes normal on Monday April 30.

Then you've come to a good place.  We have some good information here - check out the wods, a bit about Crossfit, rates, schedules, etc.  If you want to see more pictures of what we do, go to our facebook page or look at our blog at crossfitexceed.wordpress.com

However, if you're getting serious about Crossfit, we encourage you to just come in.  No amount of internet trolling or watching youtube videos can give you the real sensation of what this phenomenon is all about.  So drop by and check us out, or come prepared to workout.  We're ready to introduce you to Crossfit today.

There is a growing interest in attending this year's South Central Regionals competition in San Antonio, April 27 - 29.  Ryan and Cassie are going for sure.  Brad, Jenny, and Jessica are likely going as well.  If you haven't seen elite level Crossfit up close and personal, it's a very cool and inspiring experience.  So let's talk at the box.  Who's interested in going? We can get together for a group dinner on Saturday night.  And watch some impressive performances at the competition.  We will have class at the box that Saturday morning before some of us head to San Antonio midday.

Yes, we are open!  See you at the box.

We wrapped up the 2012 Open season today with a tough thruster-pullup ladder wod.  We had a great crew give the Games a shot this year and I think everyone benefited from the challenge.  We had a lot of our newer athletes show significant progress during the last five weeks, some even moving to rx'd weights this last week. Awesome work.  Keep fingers crossed as Ryan still has a shot to make it into the top 60 slots in the South Central region and move on to the regionals. And I need to publicly admit that Cassie beat me in every 2012 Games wod.  Congratulations to her.  Now I've got to rig some programming that allows me to seek revenge.

So now that the Games are done, let's have a little fun.  NEXT SATURDAY - MARCH 31 - WE WILL BE HOSTING A FREE BBQ AFTER THE WOD.  We're moving the class one hour later to 10:00 am. Ryan has programmed a classic CF wod that we all should have some fun with.  Then around 11:00 we'll crank up the grill and cook up some Paleo fare, with a side of non-Paleo beverages.

Bring friends! Bring family! But mostly bring yourself.  Post to comments, drop us a note or let one of the coaches know you're coming.  Look forward to seeing everyone next Saturday.

We have had a good crew of about 10 regularly pushing themselves to the limit, giving it a go at the CrossFit Games Open.  So now we're in the last week.  Four tough wods behind us, and one more looming (to be announced Wednesday night).  Ryan has been steadily climbing in the overall ranks week to week and has a shot to make the Regionals.  So he'll  be going all out this Saturday.  Hope to see a good crowd there to compete, motivate and encourage.

We are now in the third week of the competition.  After single modality wods like burpees and snatches, we move toward more "normal" Crossfit movements.  An 18-minute AMRAP of 15 box jumps, 12 push press @115/75 and 9 toes to bar.  Something for everybody to love or hate.

So let's go.  Saturday morning at 9:00, we're throwing it down.  So far, our registered athletes are doing well and our non-registered athletes are coming in and crushing their own versions.  Shout out to Stacey, Ethan, JT, Matt, Cassie and Ryan for giving it a go.  Ryan is still in the hunt for a slot at the regionals and is looking to make some ground on this one.
