CrossFit Upcountry Maui

Our box is loaded with success stories but every now and then a visitor comes along who is awe inspiring.  Charlie, we are going to miss you! Thank you so much for your inspiration! You’ve helped us kick off our 2011 paleo challenge!

Another visitor has been equally inspiring.  Jason, all the way from Thames CrossFit in London,  helped lead the warm up and cool down Friday, as well as motivate us through the WOD. What a treat! We’re hoping we see Jason and his mother, Nancy, from CrossFit Vallejo, at least one more time before they leave next week.

Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us. Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.

Today is the BIG day! The $100 lululemon gift certificate will be given to the lucky person who’s name is drawn at 9:00 AM.  You do not need to be present to win but then you will never know if we just threw your name away and drew again!

Last WOD of the Year!

Burgener Warm Up

WOD: Out With The Old… In With The New!
This is a NEW twist on one of our OLD favorites!
3 min AMRAP:
• 5 front squats
• 5 push press
• 5 pull ups
Rest 3 minutes and repeat for a total of 4 rounds.
We are going to run this WOD in teams. You will pick a person who squats and presses the same weight as you. Team member one begins the first round. When the three minutes is up team member two takes over right where the first person left off and continues the round. You are not allowed to hand the bar to your teammate. They must pick the bar up from the ground and clean it. Score is total number of rounds per team.

As you ponder your new years goals and resolutions, browse these photos of some of our current members and where they were about a year ago. The key? Consistency!

It’s been a terrific week so far with eleven off island visitors to our box! Wednesday we were joined by Jim, Jen, Lauren and Nick, all CrossFit’ers from Philadelphia. They just happen to be staying down the street at Peace of Maui Bed and Breakfast run by one of our own, Tammi Cadman. Tammi mentioned she was off to the box and they were jazzed to learn there was a CrossFit less than a half mile away!

Another visit by our Snohomish friends, Whitney and Charlie, this time with the new bride, Renee (opps, somehow she got away without getting in a photo. Trust me, this chick was tough!)  We are going to miss you guys!

So with all these people coming from places like Philadelphia, London and Snohomish, the talk has often drifted to “snow.”  So today we are going to do some virtual shoveling! I’ll leave the rest to be a surprise.  Bring your jump ropes.
