There wasn’t a gavel that signaled “dismissed” when the hearing was over, just a few directives that seemed more common sense than anything. Basically the judge said stop doing what got you handcuffed in the first place, stop breaking the same laws, and from now on: CrossFit three times a week. Several months ago we [...]
My second grade class loved that 10-foot-tall slide on the playground. Until I fell off it. Our elementary playground was split up into thirds the way countries are today. Our thought process wasn’t quite up to the United Nations or anything, but looking back we acted like America and the slide was our homeland and [...]
Recently CBS did a report on CrossFit South Brooklyn. It wasn’t your usual CrossFit in the news stories we’ve seen in the past. It was about a specific word used to name a class for women only. Interestingly enough, the class wasn’t only attended by women, it was named by them. If you’re easily objectified [...]
When we unlocked our front doors for the first time, CrossFit Kids was a want. It was something we knew would happen one day. Today, our Practice CrossFit kiddos have thousands of square feet to call home. Quite the step-up considering they’ve worked out in places that can only be described as walk-in closets. The [...]

Our goal is for athletes of ALL ages and levels to compete in one location, at one time, together. Just like we train everyday. From Masters to Individuals, Teens and even the little Kids, [...]
I don’t get freaked out easily. In fact the things that frighten me have never been about camp fires and flash lights in the dark. No, more than anything, I’m scared of myself. I believe we all feel that way. We think we’ll become our parents; we’ll make a bad decision and lose everything. We’ll [...]
This is the sixth clip we’ve done for “Angela’s New Hand,” and it’s deceiving. It leads you to believe this process is all sparkles and cup cakes and instant gratification. It’s not. Lots of athletes wouldn’t have even started this process. A lot more would have quit after the first peak that led to a [...]
Life is about goosebumps. The more of them you’ve had by the end, the better you’ve lived. Goosebumps are why I love to read; a perfectly timed sentence, cleverly organized, gets me all bumpy. That’s why I write too, except then it’s even better because it’s my words in my sentence. It’s also why I [...]
