Yeah, I wrote that. Despite taking almost two years off from an official gym, within minutes of (grudgingly!) re-joining the sport, Aspen CrossFit quickly and seamlessly became my home and the people my family. Moving to Newport Beach, one of the first items on my agenda was to find the right box to call home [...]

3 Training Goals Before 2013
It’s beginning to look a lot like CrossFit … I’ve been out of a regular CrossFit “box” for quite some time, doing outdoor, .com, Football, and Outlaw WODs. I have the motivation and determination that allows me to train by myself, and I like it. But I also miss the community, the competition, and the [...]

Aspen: The G.O.G. (Gift of Gratitude)
I’m all about gratitude and all about yoga, so pretty much in support of this yoga collective promo from November 1-20th in Aspen. Trade can goods for a class, complete the card, possibly win big prizes. Sweet!

“I know you’re good at squats because …”

Gym Gem: Workout Skirt
I have been lifting weights for at least ten years. I’ve been CrossFitting for five. I’m no stranger to being the only girl in a gym doing olympic lifts, heavy weight, or handstand pushups. I have never once been asked to spot anyone. I have also never once worn a workout skirt in the gym. [...]

Who is Looking at Whom at the Gym
via The Oatmeal. Someday I will make one of these for the Aspen Club, because the people are even more extreme and it will be even funnier.

“I just have a few more pushups to do”
I love the gym so much. Last night, I’m doing a barbell complex over on the Olympic rack when this happens: “Oh hey, what’s up?” I don’t look over, unsure if he’s talking to me, sure I don’t want to talk to him. “Yeah, man, I’m just at the gym. Lifting some weights. Heavy weights.” [...]

What are those funny-colored plates?
I talked about how excited I was when the Aspen Club got bumper plates. Each plate is a different color for its weight, and I love them. Yesterday, I got a chance to love them for a different reason: humor! A man who was previously using the leg press came up to me as I [...]
