Bye Lee!

John — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 02:26:58 +0000

Today was Lee’s last day at the gym. He is moving down south and hopefully our CrossFit paths will bring us all together again. From the moment Lee walked into the gym he was an unstoppable machine, full of energy and will be sorely missed. All the bests to you Lee.

September is the month of change for P3 CrossFit!

John — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 03:25:47 +0000

The credit card problems have been resolved… They will be re-processed later tonight. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you for your patience.

Throughout this month, Jeff and I will be setting up quick individual meetings with all of our members to talk and discuss all of the changes we are making at the gym. We are extremely excited about the direction we are headed and can’t wait to tell you all about what’s in store.

Some of you have already felt some of the new rules we have started to enforce, most notably:
1. Arrive early and stay late. Cheer, clap and encourage others. Anything less is to cheat yourself of the experience and to rob others of the gift of your presence and support as part of the community. Besides, if you’re late, it’s 10 burpees per minute. And regarding any burpee incentives… there are NO exceptions, you may cry and whine all you want, as long as we can hear you counting.

2. EMPTY barbells were not designed to be dropped (neither were dumbbells or kettlebells). We don’t want our toys, our rubber flooring, you, or someone else broken unnecessarily.

3. Clean up and put away all equipment after each workout. Clean up sweat, spit, blood, chalk, dirt, vomit, handprints, and whatever else you’ve left behind.

Heavy weights or general conditioning?

John — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 23:16:47 +0000

Today everybody chose a weight that allowed them to go unbroken all 6 rounds. So if it wasn’t the weight that slowed everybody down what was it? Was it the lateral burpees or the double unders? Did you take your time during the deadlifts and kill the burpees and jump rope? Or did you do it the other way around?

Anthony C. was putting on a clinic this morning doing lateral burpees. He stayed low to the ground and barely cleared the bar on every rep.
