December 09, Schedule Changes Coming!

As we enter the busy holiday season, we want to do everything we can to get you a workout. 

Tracy will take off her training wheels and begin teaching her own class on Fridays at 3:30!

CrossFit Mt Olympus can make you THIS happy!
CrossFit Mt Olympus can make you THIS happy!

Each class will still last an hour, but a new one will start every 30 minutes instead of on the hour.  This will allow one group to warm up and cool down while another does the workout of the day. 

Check the Class Schedule for updates.  We will experiment with a new schedule this Friday and possibly roll it out for other evening classes.   Please let us know what you think and how it works for you.

August 02, Hydration

People, it’s HOT out there even with all this rain.  It’s important to stay hydrated!! 

You should drink one ounce of water for every two pounds of bodyweight normally.  When you’re training hard or it’s this hot, shoot for even more.  Your interstitial fluids need replenishing.

 Cannonball!

Workout of the Day

Max Effort Clean & Jerk

You will have exactly 4 minutes to set a max effort clean & jerk

 

Just for fun, we’ll also do:

Max Effort 400m Sprint

 

July 22, Home Equipment

What equipment do you have at home?  You should at least have the basic necessities for mobility workouts:  a band and three Happy Fun Balls (2 of them are taped together).

In addition, I have a speed rope, abmat, rings and foam roller.  This forms a basic set of gear I can use to get a decent workout on the days I can’t come in to CrossFit Mt Olympus. 

We will put in an order next week.  Let us know if you’d like foam rollers, abmats, or mobility bands.  We already have Happy Fun Balls.

Remember, every day doing a mobility workout is extra points towards the challenge, so get on it!  (www.mobilitywod.com)

Mobility-for the good times!

July 08, Personal Records

One of the greatest benefits of CrossFit is that almost everything is measured.  You know if you’re getting stronger because you lift more weight, you know if you’re faster because you run a mile in less time.  Even though yesterday was a training day, not a benchmark day several people set personal records (PRs) in the deadlift.

Dr Andy raised the bar with a PR 405 pound deadlift and nearly everyone followed with a PR.  Even though we don’t deadlift everyday, everyone is stronger.  We love how that works!

Andy raises the bar, literally!

Efforts like this inspire us!  We promise to give you everything we have, and ask that you give us everything in return.  Thanks for holding up your end.

Tracy sets a deadlift PR at CrossFit Mt Olympus in Salt Lake City, UT.Tracy pulls an even 200 pound PR!

Jenny Johnson sets a deadlift PR at CrossFit Mt Olympus in Salt Lake City, UT.Jenny bumps it up to 217 pounds!

Alex  Reynolds sets a deadlift PR at CrossFit Mt Olympus in Salt Lake City, UT.Alex does for 290 pounds for a set of 2!
