Starting Thursday, February 9, for six weeks, there will be no Thursday evening 6:30pm group class.  As a result of low attendence over the past few months, we've opened up this time for our first Olympic Weightlifting Class with two world class instructors.  For more information on participating in the Oly Lifts class for the next six weeks, talk or email any coach and we'll let you know the cost ($10/class) and details (90 minute training sessions).  We'll try to figure out who organized this, who wrote the whiteboard about it, who changed it and who killed JFK and post our results very soon.

Sorry for the confusion.

great job carrie, josh, kevin and to coach josh for all your hard work the past few months. 

after a long anticipated buildup, this weekend marks the start of the 2012 CrossFit Events season for Southern California with the OC Throwdown up in Orange County.  if you have nothing else going on ... or if you're curious :) ... come support Carrie, Kevin and Josh P. as they show their skills and compete with the best athletes from the area and waaaay beyond!

our good friend and founder of Rx Jump Ropes talking about measuring jump ropes.

if you signed up for tomorrow clinic - it has been POSTPONED.

the reschedule date is:  UP TO US!

...David will come down and hook us up with custom ropes and a session on improving technique but we need to have 12 people commit in advance.  we were a few short this time around and think it might have been all the stuff moving around in the gym lately and the holidays that caused that.  if you're down, sign up in the gym or post a comment to the blog and we'll get 12 and pick a saturday or sunday afternoon and get our jump on!

if you click here you can download a copy of the indoor soccer season schedule.  most games will be sunday's at 6pm - which will certainly be interesting for those that enjoy their sunday funday's and will show up intoxicated to games. 

seems that we have a tentative time and crew going for a pickup game and knocking the ball around this Saturday at 1pm.  Per Eric C.: There is a small park just east of the intersection at El Camino Real on Leucadia / Olivenhain. It is too small to accomodate weekend kid's games and looks like it could be just right for a small group like us."

Game on at 1pm?  Even if you're not playing indoor with us, feel free to cruise out and have fun helping us hone in our skills!

attention indoor soccer team - we need a practice this week or weekend! let's see if we can get a blog going about what might work (i.e. - post some times to the comments of this post and let's see what we come up with).

so far we have 9 signed up: monika w, eric c, melissa m, ali l, jeff e, joe s, brian s, alex k, ali g.  if you turned it money and aren't listed here, blame Team Captain Ali...but really blame Brian.  still a few spots and we need a few people for sure.  kurt.  bryce.  i'm talking to you guys.
