Insomnia motivates some of us to take up the pen. Others find their stimulation via anger, or desolation. For one reason or another, PCF trainer/owner Ryan Vest picked up his pen and now we all may be better for it. Most say fat and CrossFitter are polar opposites. As usual, most are wrong. In fact [...]
Humankind’s ability to create havoc is understated more and more everyday. CrossFitters, while especially different from the majority even to the point of a different species classification, are no exception to this rule even though we would like to be. Without sounding foolishly simple, maybe all it will take to cure unnecessary chaos is a [...]
To me “deviled” meant using herbs to make food more spicy. Not adding calories. To others it means making food more damaging, regardless if its spicy or not. It seems the widely accepted art of deviling comes into play when you take something blessed, and you make it sinful. Something pure becomes something cursed. Its [...]
As CrossFitters we are surrounded by great people, great athletes,and great coaches. Apparently one of those awesome individuals/athlete/coach had something very meaningful to teach.

Imagine now a world where addiction came only to those things we can’t live without. Oxygen, water, protein, fat. Now dive into reality where we are addicted to sugar, alcohol, nicotine. Things we can very truly thrive without. There are numerous essentials that encumber us everyday yet we seem to be naturally wired to become [...]
Maybe your high school was different but I seem to remember three kinds of people. Those who were “in”. Those who clearly were “out”. Lastly, those who were lucky enough to surpass all cliques and tribes with an ability to generally be cool with everyone. Who were you is a question, who you would chose [...]
Before you hit the door frantically gathering last minute trinkets for the holiday read trainer/teacher Mindy’s account of the greatest gift given. Then decide if more trinkets is really what others need. Being a teacher of young students, it’s almost a certainty that I will meet my quota of candles and coffee mugs for the [...]
