Oh Jeff...you really thought you could hide from me?

Jeff was doing his most favorite (ahem) exercise, burpees, and decided he didn't want his picture taken. I wish I had snapped the look on his face just before he walked outside to hide from me and my camera. So because we all love Jeff (and his adorable wife Stephanie), I took his picture anyway. :)

What does your gym look like?

So I know I'm preaching to the choir here--so to speak--but what should a gym look like? What impresses you? What makes you want to get to work, because that's why you're there, right? To work, to sweat, to improve your health and fitness!

*

CrossFit gyms are known for having equipment that lets you use your body as it's intended to be used. This is in contrast to 'machines' because as you know, we believe our bodies are our machines. You don't want to sit in some contraption which forces you to move your body within the confines of the machine's range of motion. Every body that sits at that machine is not the same!

Some recent snap shots of CrossFit Georgetown. Barbells ready to be used with weights scaled to each person's ability and strength. A plyo box for jumps, step ups, box squats, balance lunges...and more. Rings for stability holds, dips, push-ups, muscle-ups, ring rows...and on and on...

Back in the corner are some medicine balls for cleans, wall balls, slams, etc. The only thing wrong with this picture is that dratted mirror which has to come down but I'm afraid of 7-years bad luck to break it. :)

There is much more in our gym not pictured, like kettlebells, jump ropes, our awesome pull-up bars and more. One glance inside CFG and you know this is a place to work hard, get fit and ultimately feel good, after you peel yourself off the floor.

Come check us out!

Sorry for disappearing....

So much for my resolution to keep up the blog. BUT--Good News--we are now on FACEBOOK. Search for CrossFit Georgetown and we'll have regular discussion there. I will still keep the blog updated (yeah, you've heard that one before, right?) but the Facebook page gives us another option.



**Here's Ken doing his last 400m run carrying Gwen. Ken needs something to slow him down a bit since he runs like the wind and it's not fair. :) Gwen LOVED it!
