What I Know

Stop complaining and start doing. Life is short. Very short. Grab it and run like the wind while you're still here.

Life Jackets

Each of us must find our strength and use it. To help ourselves, to help our families, to help others.

RX, Not RX: What's It All Mean?

Any substitutions or scaling (in bands, weights, movement etc.) means you don't get an "Rx" next to your name.

Heels on the Box or Bust

Wouldn't you prefer that you be held to a higher standard? That you be encouraged to do more, be more, accomplish more?

What Are Your CrossFit Priorities?

Priorities. Do you have them right in your life? Do you have them right in CrossFit?

On CrossFit and Suffering

The suffering only gets us there; it's not the goal in and of itself.

Milestones and Change

For every time that you feel sorry for yourself during a WOD ("It's so hard") or during a lift ("I just can't get it right!") remember that someone out there is facing a bigger obstacle, a higher hurdle, harder times. And they're carrying on. So, if you're complaining, just stop.

The CrossFit Games: Beyond Words

It’s a community that comes together to perform and witness feats of strength and stamina. A crowd that recognizes heart more than standings, and that victory must be earned or it is worthless. Cheaters will not be tolerated. Character and honor still matter here.

CrossFit Is The Egg

So many options. So many outcomes. So much depends on choices made and the skill level of the chef. But the fact of the matter is the same in CrossFit as it is in so much of life -- skill matters. Immensely.

Seek Happy Nights to Happy Days

CrossFit builds stronger women, stronger mothers, stronger lovers, stronger daughters, stronger wives, stronger friends. And that's a good thing. No, that's a great thing, for everyone.

A Month Off The Couch

Sometimes all it takes is a month off the couch. Then one month turns into two months. And then two months turn into two years. And your life becomes better, for you and everyone in it. Just ask Barry and Ray.

This CrossFit World of Ours

It's not enough here to do good enough. You have to find the place where there is no more in you, where you've fallen over the edge, where only your soul holds you up, where your muscles and your lungs have truly reached their limits. And then you come back to do it all again the next day.

Is My World is Different Than Yours?

In CrossFit, there is no sense that we will never be as good as we once were. There is only the sense that we are not even close to how good we can become.
