Diablo CrossFit

What Is CrossFit?

Started as a maverick gym in Santa Cruz, CrossFit has spread worldwide, becoming the principal strength & conditioning program for police academies and tactical op's teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, & hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. Why? Because CrossFit works...FAST.

CrossFit delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. CrossFit's specialty is not specializing. Daily life, like many sports and professions, (and even combat) requires broad levels of fitness. CrossFit's program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. The needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ by degree not kind.

Eat More, Weigh Less

I'm not eating much, I'm hungry, and I'm not losing weight.

If you've ever tried to lose weight, you've probably been in that dilemma before. What gives? It's time to take a look at what you're eating, rather than how much. You'll be surprised by how many calories some "small" meals contain. Let's compare a typical day of meals and see where you are missing out. . .

Unfortunately, my son's first birthday party is October 19th, after church, so I'll be unable to attend. I might make some T-shirts for it, though. 8-)

All kidding aside, hope you guys have a great time and hope I get to see Rick before he leaves!

2 Minute Defense @ 1600

Mo 13:12 (sub 100m for runs)
JJ 11:04 (looked strong)
Stav 13:14 (cleans need work)

Cary, I'm going to need proof your concert is a worthwhile substitution for the open house. Please name the headlining artists and the number of feet you will be sitting from the stage. Thanks.
