The Open is Over 🙁 But way to be guys!
Congratulations you guys!! Be it your first Open, or your 13th, I hope you had a good time. It was (as always) a lot of work, but seeing you guys come together, take the workouts seriously, and crush it, is (also always) super rewarding. It’s motivating, and humbling personally as well. A whole slough of emotions man. Like where else can you come, join up, pay the money, and get people to gather around you and support you like this? Our pregger ladies, our masters athletes, our “gym bros”, and everyone in between, it’s pretty wild to think of how special the thing that we have inside these walls is. Thanks for making it a part of your life, and I’m proud to have made it mine.
Quarterfinals happens 17/18/19 of March, two weeks. Tudor is going to qualify to do these workouts, so look for him on the Games site, and on social media. He ended up 65th IN THE WORLD on the Thruster, with only 8 Men beating him on that workout. That really was great what we all got to watch!

Week 2!!!
Alright, now we know the groove, AND this week it’ll be completely thrown off! But I’m SUPER STOKED! Tudor Magda (35th at the CrossFit Games last year, 1st at Zelos Games this year and 9th at Wodapalooza, LEGIT athlete) has agreed to come do the workout with us on Friday! It’s best for his training schedule, and all that.
Furthermore: Monday is Presidents Day! The irony of celebrating this nationally shouldn’t be missed. However we’ll have a reduced schedule that day, if the banks get it off, we’re gonna have two big classes and have fun with that, and then enjoy the day as well. Thanks! Monday will be 6am, and 4:15pm. It’ll be packed, I hope you can make it, and the workout is a BANGER!
Sorry guys, I know chaos reigns at times 🙂 So this week is actually “normal” as far as the Open is concerned. Tudor is gonna come out and do the workout at 4:15pm Friday time slot. Then we’ll bang away at the rest of the heats until we’re all done. I think it still might warrant a hang out session if peeps are up for that 🙂

The First Week of the Open! It’s really here!
Hey guys! Here we go! I hope you’re registered and want to have fun with this 🙂 Scaled and Foundations workouts are really doable and fun, I plan on doing scaled versions, as shocking as it might sound my fitness is slipping a bit running two gyms simultaneously, and I don’t wanna burden myself with smashing everything in sight with zero regard for my post workout self! I’m also gonna be in Boise teaching this first weekend, booo. So here we go 🙂 Chaos as always, and loving every minute of it!
Things to remember: Thursday gymnastics day, toughest on the coach, cool and fun for you guys! Come play and have fun moving. Friday is the cool workout that everyone all over the whole world is doing! Saturday is TBA based on Friday’s mayhem, it get released Thursday at Noon, so we have time to plan each week, very cool.
Friday night will be a special atmosphere, if you wanna come have fun with the crew, come at 4:15pm, plan to stay for a few hours, as there will be different heats of the workout, the Edmonds Crew is gonna come up and smash with us (booyah!) and judge each other (through the workout, not like personally or anything) and it’s fine to be there if you’re doing scaled or foundations versions of the workout, all that good stuff. 100% Team, 100% Love!!
