Since the weather has been cooperating, we have been doing some outdoor workouts to balance out our fitness regime.  We are taking classes to the hills and terrain of Knox mountain and cranking up the intensity level. Our most recent workout was a team run/pushup relay followed by “short burst uphill sand sprints.”  Both the warmup and cooldown consisted of a 1 km jog from and back to  the gym.  As the weather continues to get better we will spend more time outside.

The above workouts include pushups, tire flipping, kettlebell swings,and box jumps and they are some of the movements that constitute “human functionality”. We  are naturally predispositioned to move in these ways. Focus on this, and you achieve your optimum and highest  fitness level.   At our gym we  push, pull, drag,lift, jump, squat, throw, climb, and run,  among many other moves  that always incorporate multiple muscle groups working at once to maximize power output.   Its 100% effort all the time.  Couple this with structure and supportive coaching in a group environment and you get results which is what we’re all about. Check out primallife.ca  to get a look into our gym community that expands into nutrition and all other elements of primal living. If you are  serious about your health and fitness and want to be the best you’re in the right place; we urge you to  get involved.

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.
