WOD

Save a Pair!

Next Saturday October 20th CrossFit Visone in Cherryvale is hosting Barbells for Boobs a benefit for breast cancer awareness.  The CrossFit Beloit crew will be leaving the gym at 9:00 am to travel down and compete/support this great event (morning class will still be at 8 am for those that cannot make the event).  The WOD for the day is Grace!  30 clean and jerks for time.  Mens rx weight is 135 and females 95.  We will be carpooling and will go out to breakfast afterwards.  If you would like to participate please leave a message in the comment section so I can let Visone know how many we are bringing.

Help save a pair!

Paleo Challenge

 

Tomorrow brings to a close the fall Paleo Challenge.  Results will be posted next week and the winners will be announced for the individual that was the most consistent and the individual that made the most improvements!  From what I have heard everyone has had a positive experience by cutting out processed food.  People have been sleeping better, more energy throughout the day, loss of weight, just better overall mood, and even better complexion!  Amazing what feeding your body properly can do right!  And I hope that from the positive experience everyone will keep to their Paleo roots. 

 

If you haven't seen the movie that Lani posted yet check out the link below...good look into the sources that our food comes from.  Gets a little preachy at the end but still a good watch.

Hungry for Change

Haunted Houses!

So who is up for some haunted houses.  This Friday after wod darts we are heading to the local haunted houses.  If you are brave enough please meet us at the gym at 7:30 to head out.  1st stop is south beloit haunted barn!  If can face a WOD you can face this.  I may scream like a girl...don't judge me.

 

So Whatcha waiting for?

So today I witnessed a couple of amazing PR's.  Reed our college boy (aka my number 1 man crush) was back visiting and not only did he set the fastest time for the metcon but he PR'ed his snatch by 20 lbs at 185 lbs.  Then the new guy Josh only after a month PR'ed his Clean and Jerk by 15 lbs at 265 lbs.  Crazy shit.  Those guys are dedicated and reap the benefits of their labor.  Congratulations guys!  Then I witnessed Emily kill a heavy snatch and clean n Jerk wod with perfect form.  After that she did a bench press/row wod with record time.  You go gurl!  

I love our community and love seeing the results of your hard work.   I know there is a lot more to come!
