Deadline for Clinic Registration

By: 0

Hey everyone, the deadline for registering for the weightlifting clinic is Monday at 8:00pm. Make sure if you are on the fence you get your tickets - we won't be allowing anyone else to get in after that date and time. There are 6 more spots left in the Clean and Jerk, 9 are left in the Snatch. If we don't make the minimum number of people to run it, we will be canceling the clinic and refunding the tickets.

Johnny K – Sweat Equity

By: 0

I Had started Crossfit in Boston before I moved to South Bend. Checked out some of the other gyms in South Bend and decided CFSB was it. To me a gym is 40% about its members, 40% about its coaches and only 20% about the gym itself.  Some gyms can rightfully be described as “tool boxes.” If there aren’t good vibes from the coaches and the members, you don’t wanna stick around. Didn’t get that impression when I first met everyone at CFSB so I decided to stay. My First impression? Wait, no AC?! What changed: You’re not supposed to be comfortable working out! A little sweat equity is good for you…those outlines on the floor when you collapse after a hard workout are badges of pride. My first huge accomplishment was a Kipping pull-up. Made some of the WOD’s so much easier! [Except they’re outlawed now that I switched to the strength and conditioning class…Thanks Carl!] Also Squatting double body weight. I’m only 5-lbs off of it right now and it continues to elude me. Its the perfect evil little circle of motivation. I Always enjoyed coming to class and getting to zone out on everything else for a little while. The encouragement for everyone and how well everyone gets along at CFSB made me look forward to coming to the gym every time. Even if I was having an off day with everything else, always left the gym feeling much better.  But if I had to pick one would probably be the Wade’s Army WOD. A really fun event, and you get to get swoll for a good cause! (Great t-shirt too) -Johnny K ***Hey there Johnny K - Just wanted to say we will miss you too my friend! - Brandon
