It is a call for congratulations! Seana Velasco just celebrated her one year anniversary at CrossFit NorCal. In just one year of working with me, Seana has dropped 38 pounds, and 3 pants sizes! She’s not just dropping weight—she’s lifting it too—she has a max deadlift of 155# and can whip out 7 pull-ups in a row. Seana is one of our most successful clients—and I attribute that to her consistent attendance and quality food choices. Check out Seana’s rope climb— she’ll be waiting for you at the top!

The move to our new location (bigger and better) has begun! We moved some of the mats tonight and our pullup structure is getting moved tomorrow. All classes will be held as scheduled in our current location through July 31st. It may be a bit chaotic, but the workouts will go on! (Safe to bet there won’t be pullups for a few days!) Thanks to the folks in the 5:15 crew tonight who helped move some mats! I think Lee’s truck was a bit more helpful than Shawn’s biceps!

I was talking with a few of the mom’s in our 6am class this morning about the physical demands of being a mom...climbing stairs carrying a child on one hip and a bag of groceries on the other. Life just demands that we’re capable and strong. I guess in our modern age folks can get by being a little less capable, but pretty soon it will catch up with you. One of the top benefits of being a CrossFitter is that it prepares you for anything and everything. A fitter individual is more productive and can better navigate the physical demands and pressures of life. Check out Sarah, mother of three boys, kicking some ass with some dumbbell swings! She’s 8 months post baby and is leaner and stronger now than before her pregnancy. Oh yeah...did I mention she did 36 pullups in her workout the other day?

The great folks at San Francisco CrossFit are hosting us next weekend for a CrossFit nutrition certification with our very own Robb Wolf! They held an essay contest for each of the 2 scholarship positions. There were some fabulous entries and it was tough to choose! Check out this pic from the dry run we did here in Chico as well as one of the wonderful essay submissions we received:

Anne Yates kicked some serious ass this last weekend at the Los Banos triathlon! Despite 110 degree weather, high winds and lightning she came in first in her age group in the sprint distance as well as first for women in the sprint and qualified for Nationals to boot! Congratulations Anne! You’ve been training hard and you’ve been training smart and it’s paying off!

This chick just got her first dip and dead hang pullup! She’s had a kipping pullup for a couple of months, but the strict version is now dialed. And she had PERFECT (our standards are high) pushups in all 3 rounds of tonight’s workout. Keep your eye on this girl...she’s gonna be a contender.

Check out Heather’s first time learning to climb a rope! This girl is a stud swimmer who already after just 2 weeks of training is besting her times in the pool. She shaved 20 seconds off of a recent 800m free and she attributes that to increased strength to push off on the flip turns. We’re only just scratching the surface with her strength development so as she continues to get stronger she will only get faster.
