Ok, the programs are finally coming together. The ON RAMP CrossFit Classes will start in January.
This will be a 12 session series for the first 30 days of any new member's membership at the box. The goal of this class will be to develop solid movement mechanics, consistency and then transition into higher intensity training. Each class session will be coupled with a WOD that will support the movements taught for that session. the On-Ramp Class Series will replace Elements Classes starting in January.
If you are an existing member, and would like to participate in this class, the cost will be 150.00 for the month. Your membership will then go back to it's existing rate. We will be posting it on the schedule soon! Also, look for the ON RAMP Class graphic here on the home page to link to program information. Please contact the office if you would like to schedule.
We are also working on a CrossFit Essentials Class. This class will be targeted to athletes that need greater attention to flexibility, mobility transitioning, and scaling or modification of WOD variables. Athletes that might do well in this class would include the de-conditioned or more mature athlete. Make no mistake about it, THIS WILL BE CrossFit! Our goal is to provide classes and training that better suit the needs of all athletes. We are working on a schedule for this class.
We would like your feedback for the scheduling of the ON RAMP CrossFit Class and CrossFit Essentials Class. Please contact us with your feedback or leave comments in the blog.

We are hearing some great buzz on the Food Challenge! Several members have to come to me and told me that they have already noticed an improvement in how the while training and outside the box. Also, several have told me that they have already had some weight loss. Keep up the good work.
All members participating in the food challenge will notice a 20.00 account charge for the participation fee. This is to cover staff time and material cost for the challenge. If you have any questions about the fee, please contact the office.

Participated in my kids' karate class this morning. That's fun. At the globo gym: 5X3 - BENCH, ROW, PUSH PRESS, PU (50LB asst.). In between did 20-50 lb. dumbbell swings. Then I got destroyed in a little 2 on 1 hoops action. My boys play dirty. I did well on the fuel intake yesterday. I did indulge in 1 cold beer however. Enjoy the day. 'tis warming up nicely.

Terra commented on 09-Jan-2010 02:00 PM
CFFW WOD: 16:22; 55#FSQ, 18"box. It is so much more fun to workout at the Box instead of at home alone. Thanks for the push Chad, it was great!
brady gunn commented on 09-Jan-2010 02:19 PM
Great job this week at the box to all. Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and competition. I have found my new home! No WOD today (unless you count walking in the cold to my deerblind). Just enjoying a little R&R. Hopefully I can harvest a late season doe for some PALEO fuel!!!! Blessings on everyone's week!
Michele Deaton commented on 09-Jan-2010 08:33 PM
Away from home WOD - 25 burpee situps, 25 air squats, 25 situps, 25 knee pushups Time - 7:28. Another deceivingly "not easy" one! Yow!!!

Tina Neuwirth commented on 18-Jan-2010 01:14 PM
Sounds like a good group this AM! I was not at the gym, so I can't really do FS. I did DL 5x5 instead: 145, 155, 165, 175, 180. MetCon: 8:10 Rx'd. Man do the push ups slow me down when I get tired! Thank goodness for the squats where I can pick up some time!
Tina Neuwirth commented on 18-Jan-2010 01:19 PM
By the way, I am trying to kick the protien drink habit (which you, those of you reading the Maker's Diet, will discover may be worthless). I made my own smoothie today with stuff I bought this weekend and brough to work: 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup frozen peaches, 1.25 cups whole milk, 1/2 cup egg whites, ice, and a little Splenda. Yummy! It's got about 26 grams carbs, 20, grams protien, and 9 grams fat (about 3 blocks for those of you Zoning).
Tina Neuwirth commented on 18-Jan-2010 03:24 PM
Oops, it was 1/4 cup of each fruit to get those numbers, not 1 cup. Sorry!
Corey Doyle commented on 18-Jan-2010 06:51 PM
Front squats - 135-155-175-185(4)-195(2 assisted). 6:27 on metcon. Way to break 6 min Matt.

Thanks to Robbie Courtney for this great Athlete Success Profile! If you have an interest in telling a little bit about your own story and experience with CrossFit, contact our office to give us the scoop. We are creating a new tab on the navigation bar that will be named, "Success." In this tab we will be highlighting athletes success stories.
Also, the CrossFit Endurance Page is ready to launch! We recently sent out an e-mail to see who is interested in participating in the 2010 Spring Mud Run. If you have an interest, please contact us asap to put your name on the list and help us put together the teams.
We are also offering a free 1 hour adult gymnastic skills workshop teaching the basic movements of handstand variations, L-sits, muscle-ups, ring kips, bar kips, cartwheels, round offs and etc.. This will be Saturday the 13th @ 11 am and open to the first 15 participants that schedule.
Robbie, nice testimony. Glad to have you in the CF family and it's great to see how your health improved so rapidly. We knew just the right mix of peer pressure and guilt would get you started. Ha! It's amazing how high intensity, constantly varied functional movement with a purpose can help cure what ails you.
brady gunn commented on 02-Mar-2010 11:39 AM
Amen to that Robbie and Corey. Hey on the lunges today - is that 10 each leg or 20 total? I already did the WOD and just did 20 cuz I need it - curious nonetheless.
Clayton Martin commented on 02-Mar-2010 01:05 PM
You Rock Robbie!! We love ya dude. Great success story, to be continued.
Terra commented on 02-Mar-2010 01:07 PM
Brady - normally it means 10 on each leg when he writes it like that. I want to do this one at home, too!
Corey Doyle commented on 02-Mar-2010 05:58 PM
Yes, the lunges are 10 each leg. As Rxd with 185# deadlifts - 6 rounds plus about 75m on the next run. I liked that one. The time limiting factor for me was my running.
Corey Doyle commented on 02-Mar-2010 06:01 PM
First part of the wod - front squats- 135-155-175-185-195(3). Slight improvement from last month.
Clint Stimson commented on 02-Mar-2010 07:15 PM
Great testimony Robbie. Keep up the work brother! I've been a slacker posting my results so I'm gonna try to do better.
Ft sqts:95-115-125-135-145-150 (2f).
6rds plus a 100m. 135# DL. The time limiting factor for me was my chicken legs would not go! :)
Michele Deaton commented on 02-Mar-2010 10:33 PM
Missing the box since vacation, but did several "cruise ship" wods, and since then have been training at home, trying to encourage the offspring! Today we did "Annie" with single-unders X 3 - 50,40,30,20,10 situps and jumpropes. Time - 9:16, a PR for me! Next, to get that time with double-unders!
Troy Landrum commented on 03-Mar-2010 09:02 AM
Front Sqts - 95-115-135-150-160(PR,2F).
4 rounds + run. Quads started spasming, so I
changed to box step-ups for the lunges. Cool stuff...Robbie!
Marilyn after PR on Baseline...Way to tear it up girl!
We are still registering athletes for the Second Ladies Only Boot Camp. So, if you know of someone let them know to contact the office to get registered!

great WOD. the front squats killed my wrists! thrusters sucked. but loved it!!!
Troy Landrum commented on 04-May-2010 08:38 PM
Front Sqts - 95-110-125-135-150(4).
Metcon - 19:09 w/75# thrusters. Dman, if you were trying to design a WOD that would fry someones legs...you can sit back and smile and say "mission accomplished!" Good stuff!
ATO2 Tri-Team finishes strong at the 2nd Annual Classic Rock Rockwall Rotary Triathlon! CrossFit Endurance training works!
Remember that this week we are starting the Ladies Only CrossFit Class on Tue/Thurs @ 8:30am. Go online to schedule for these newly added classes. New female members completing On-Ramp series can also use these class times to receive their training.
Way to go ATO2 team! Awesome times! Did Friday's WOD today - Overhead squats 5x5 - 95-115-125-135-155(2) - then Handstand pushups and box jumps 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 - used a 24" box - 4:17. Hspu's against the wall but I did have an abmat under my head so may not technically be as Rx'd.
Tina Neuwirth commented on 17-May-2010 03:56 PM
Corey, not using the ab mat would be prescribed because there is a great ROM (if you go all the way down). Good time on that one! Today we did a nice, fairly easy, not-quite-tempo run, 2 miles: 17:40 (with almost a minute waiting at the lights at the street we have to cross). Then 30 sit up med-ball tosses (with the 8# ball at the clinic). Pretty light day, but I needed it. Boy is it muggy today!
Michele Deaton commented on 17-May-2010 05:15 PM
