Nicole and Eva are two amazing CrossFit women I've had a chance to meet at some of my trainings. =>

April is our own female CrossFit athlete. Check out her weighted pull-ups from a few months ago. She can do muscle-ups now too!

Mary is our longest member and Rebecca is our newest. Siren from American Gladiator joined us for a few workouts too.

If you're tired of not getting results doing the same routine at a "regular" gym and you'd like to join the ranks of these incredible women -- now is a good time.

Petranek Fitness in Los Angeles had a good write-up last week on the lead coaches in CrossFit.

"One of the best articles Coach wrote was on the idea of "virtuosity" - it's a short article, but motivating. Check it out: CF Journal - Virtuosity"

And can you believe it, Memorial Day marks the one year anniversary of Cleveland CrossFit! We started in a park, just a few of us with little equipment and a lot of enthusiasm. Mary was the first to attend. =)

"In firefighter competition around the country, it seems that whenever CrossFit-trained personnel enter, they end up at the top of the field. We might even say these CrossFit trained fire companies dominate the competition.

For those of us familiar with CrossFit and its results, this success is not terribly surprising. However, we have observed a phenomenon in these competitions that is curious indeed. In the parts of the competitions that require contestants to use oxygen tanks, CrossFit-trianed firefighters consumed less from their air bottles than other competitors. At first this seems odd -- winners using less air? The conventional understanding is that the more fit you are the more oxygen you can consume (i.e. the greater your VO2 max), the higher levels of exertion you can sustain, and the faster you can get the job done. But a well-developed motor pathway reduces the amount of work done by the body, thereby reducing oxygen consumption. ..." -- CrossFit Journal, March 2007
