We are excited to have all of our existing clients reach their goals from 2011 as well as our new clients establish their goals for 2012.   Be prepared for an environment of fun, team support, and possibly your most challenging workout to date!  We have classes of all skill levels to ensure success for our clients.  Please call to book your free  first class as spaces are limited.

We are very excited to announce that because of overwhelming growth within our community we are moving to a new box as of August 15th 2011! We tried for the 1st of August but some delays took effect which is expected of a project of this caliber.   Our new location is much larger totalling 2000 sq feet, (with 24ft ceilings) and has double rollup bay doors leading to a privately fenced paved lot for outdoor training.  There is also a perfect spot  out back for our interval runs. The building itself is brand new, bright, clean and fully equipped with larger changerooms and showers. 

Its located at 1033 Richter st, which is the next block north of Tree brewing on the same side of the street.  Being only 700 Metres from knox mountain this location will provide us with some great outdoor ”hilly” workouts as well.

Expect to see some new equipment in our new home such as climbing ropes and an extensive 21 ft long,  three tier  pullup rig.

Thanks to all of our current members  for making this move required and possible,  and thanks to all of our future members for becoming a part of this Crossfit Okanagan movement!

We do a lot of Olympic lifting at our affiliate and because of this we are very focused on making perfect form a key aspect in our programs. Our athletes are trained at how to do perfect lifts with the most efficient and safest lifting techniques. When doing multiple heavy sets of deadlifts, snatches, cleans & jerks it is imperative that our form is strict in order to minimize injuries and maximize capacity which is the overall goal of Crossfit training. Training at a proper weight and practicing perfect form will ensure a long and healthy Crossfit experience so make sure you’re doing the right things when it comes to your lifting habits.

Crossfit has been an outlet and a conduit for realization for many, many athletes in the Crossfit world. Some Crossfit athletes have never been a competitor in their lives and other have been world class competitors in Olympics sport or professional leauges.

Being in physical shape is fundamental in living a long, happy and healthy life and unfortunately too many people have taken themselves for granted, and now they’re paying for it. Trying to get into shape again or for the first time is a ruthless and challenging up hill battle but one thing you can guarantee is that at the end of the day you know you’re doing the right thing for yourself and your family.

North American culture has been based on many unsustainable features such as overloaded industry, fast food nations and materialism but thankfully there are things that are bringing some of the negatives and turning them into positives.

Small group today but as we expect every Monday we were lined up for a gruelling workout. We rocked a good solid warmup to make sure we were ready for the task ahead and then there it was…

-500 M Row, 50 Overhead Squates (75 lbs), 50 Deadlifts (155 lbs), 50 KB Swings (16 Kilo) & 50 Pullups

-500 M Row, 25 Overhead Squats, 25 Deadlifts, 25 KB Swings & 25 Pullups

Like I said… gruelling but a great way to kick the week off & a fantastic set of exercises to build postural strength and rigidity.

Good work people!
