There were some solid efforts put out last Saturday in the NorCal versus South Brooklyn “Squat Off”. The results are finally in...and we temporarily acquiesce the overall title to CrossFit South Brooklyn. Let me do a little explaining with regards to the scoring.

We took the Top 3 men and Top 3 women from each affiliate. The Brooklyn men bested the NorCal men by 8lbs and the NorCal women bested the Brooklyn women by 60lbs. Here are those results:

NorCal Top 3 men
Carlos: 355
Robb: 355
Adam and Glen: 315

South Brooklyn Top 3 men
Jeremy: 365
Gabrus: 335
Jonathan: 333

NorCal Top 3 women
Nicki 205
Vanessa 185
Katie D. and Ashley H. 175

South Brooklyn Top 3 women
Laurel: 170
Juliana: 170
Nicole: 165

Then, and here’s where there is some grey area and lack of forethought in our scoring system, we took the sum total of the top 20 lifts regardless of gender. Brooklyn represented with an impressive 5,769.5 lbs. whereas we put up 4,680 lbs. Our top 20 score was made up of 12 men and 8 women. The Brooklyn score was made up of 20 men. David Osorio and I have agreed to re-calculate the top 20 using 10 males and 10 females...stay tuned for an update with the revised totals. Awesome job to all of the athletes that competed in both gyms! It was fantastic to have so much encouragement and support behind every lift. Check out Ashley H. and Shawn G.:

What our clients have to say

When I first called you guys last March looking for a trainer I had no idea
what I was getting myself into. All I knew was that I had let myself go for
a couple of years, hated “regular” gyms and this sounded like a better
option. I had never actually done any sort of regimented working out, and as
you will probably recall Nicki, I was scared. You oh so wisely paired me up
with Angela and here I am almost 7 months later, skinny as I’ve been in 20
years and stronger and more fit than I’ve probably ever been. Thanks for
making a 40+ year old proud of herself again. And a special thanks to Angela
for kicking my butt a few times a week. I love it!

My journey with Natalie Taylor began when my seven year old patted my tummy and told me I was blubbery. Ouch! My goal when I met with Natalie was to get in shape. She developed my program based on my fitness level at that time. I always felt encouraged and I found that I really liked learning how to use my body correctly. I have also gained strength, while learning proper form, so that I can do day to day tasks without injury. I was able to help my husband lift our big gas bar-be-cue off the deck, it was easy and I didn’t get hurt. When I do yard work I don’t suffer the usual aches and pains of the past. I no longer wake up each morning feeling sore and stiff. I have never felt better in my forties! I cannot say enough about the great experience I have had working out at CrossFit NorCal with Natalie! I encourage anyone who wants to really get in shape to contact her today. What are you waiting for?
