Snow is coming….If  conditions are bad we will post cancellations here at least an hour before the scheduled sessions.

The t-shirts have finally arrived!  I have the list of orders and who paid.  You can pick up your shirt(s) starting tomorrow evening, just ask your trainer and they will have the list.

How many pairs of sneakers do I need?  One pair? Two pair?  Do I need sneakers or weightlifting shoes?   What is the most functional shoe for me?  Does a shoe really make that much of a difference?

As CrossFit becomes part of your daily routine you are bound to start asking some of these questions.  There is no way I could sum this up better than this article written by Lon Kilgore, Ph.D. and Mark Rippetoe, CSCS:

Weightlifting Shoes 101

I can say from my own personal experience is that the shoe makes a HUGE difference.   It is amazing the change you feel right from your first lift, your feet feel grounded and not unstable.  I have had some of you try lifting a couple reps  in your sneakers then a couple reps barefoot/socks.  I think you felt what a big difference that makes so can you image if you have the right shoe!?!?  Depending on what type of shoe you choose they will probably run you between $30-$100.  For an overall better lifting experience I say it is totally worth the investment.

Congratulations to Scott & Deavon who both recently got their Level 1 Certifications!!!

Four more eyes to keep us all on the track to perfect form!
