Saturday, 02.04.12: Parkour registration is up

Believe it! These guys are going to be coming to MBS on February 25th. We had them do a clinic 2 years ago and it was an absolute blast - everyone came out with a better appreciation for what these guys do, as well as some additional technique on:

Handstands and handstand walking
Bar kips
Monkey plants
and accurate jumping

We will have two courses: Beginner course from 11:30 - 1:00 PM, and Intermediate from 1:30 - 3:30 PM. Cost for each course is $35, or $60 for both. Register here!

Friday, 02.03.12: Clarification

MORNING CLASSES ARE CANCELLED DUE TO THE BLIZZARD. GET YOUR WOD ON AT 11 AND 12. THANKS.

The 2012 Games site has been up for 2 days now. For everyone that would like to participate, we are more than happy to help you out. If you haven't heard of the CrossFit Open, it is an online competition that involves CrossFitters from around the world competing in the same weekly workout. You compete against other athletes within your region as well as getting a world placement. It is a real fun way to see how you stack up against other guys and gals doing the same hard workouts you do. The cost is $20 and it begins on February 22nd and runs 5 weeks.

We will be doing the Open workouts, February 25th - March 24th, as the Workout of the Day on Saturdays at 9:00- 11:00 am only. Last year we had a lot of difficulty trying to do the workout twice in a week and keeping the classes run as effectively for  everyone, including those not doing the competition. For those that can't make that time, you are going to talk to the coach of  your home class (AM, Lunch, PM) and work out a time for you to do it.

So to clarify, if you cannot make the Saturday @ 9:00 AM session, you are going to talk to your AM, Lunch, or PM coach and find out what day/s you can do the workout with a timer, judge, etc. The goal here is to coordinate the majority to do the workout on the same days....it sucks to do a workout alone!

Can you imagine the life you always imagined? If you can, you are probably on your way to achieving your dreams!

In the video he talks about conditioning your mind to achieve what you want. I've always believed that physical conditioning is essential to breaking down barriers, both mental and physical.

Jason and Jenny in Florida

Our Friends in Florida

One of the greatest things about being a part of our community is the friendships we make and support we get from one another.

It doesn't seem like that long ago our friends Jason and Jenny we're wodding it up with us here at the hanger. Even though they've moved cross country we are fortunate to still have our friendship with them. We miss their presents at the gym and we're glad to see they're still representing!

An update from Jason;
"Jenny and I ran a warrior dash here in Florida this weekend, and when we changed after the race we realized we both had MBS shirts on. Thought we'd send you a pic to let you know we're still representing for MBS over here. Hope all is well with you, Janelle and the kid. We miss the box and everyone in it.
Take care,"
Jason and Jenny Wagnon

Wednesday, 01.25.12: Parkour Seminar at MBS

 Parkour Seminar at MBS

MBS will be hosting a Parkour Seminar by APEX Movement on Saturday, February 25th. What is parkour, and why should a CrossFitter care? Parkour is an art of movement in which you train the body and mind to over come obstacles. Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but is common in areas where obstacles are prevalent like walls, barriers, fences, stairs, and gaps. Parkour practitioners find the most efficient way to move themselves from point A to point B in their environment by jumping, vaulting, running, climbing, and rolling. Sound familiar? Just like CrossFit, Parkour challenges you to assess, identify, and execute effective body movement. If you want to improve your gymnastics movements, this is definitely the course for you. Beyond that, building better body awareness is critical to anything we do in CrossFit. And it's fun!!! Challenge your skills to a new and different way to workout!
