Big thanks to everyone who participated in last nights WOD and an even bigger thanks to those who have chosen to use CrossFit on 18th at their affiliate to submit scores in the open games. If you haven’t seen this film yet check it out. Admittedly my double-unders need a huge amount of work but its nice to watch someone who can really nail...

CrossFit on 18th and Crossroads Bootcamp is excited to be a participating CrossFit Affiliate for the CrossFit Games Open Division. Every Thursday starting March 17 for the next 10 weeks all Thursday CrossFit classes (Except CrossFit Express) will do the WOD posted on the CrossFit Games Site. If you want to participate and have your times submitted by us...

The Bench Press  is at least in mainstream America the question that men ask each other to access their strength.  The NFL combine requires maximum reps with 225 pounds (185 for backs) as it’s primary test of strength.  CrossFit would say that to judge ones strenght based upon a single exercise to be a poor choice.  In fact you will commonly hear...

The fitness world...

If you have been around CrossFit for a little while you have workouts that while hard you would prefer to do compared to others.  For me Helen combining 400 meter runs (which one 400 hard sucks for me) pushups and heavy kettlebell swings earns my vote. For some of us workouts with planned breaks or intervals might be harder than a longer 20 minute AMRAP...

Hello CrossFit on 18th. For those of you who participated in last weeks Heavy Metcon thank you.  We had a short sweet and very challenging workout.  Since last week all of have heard through the grapevine that many of you had little or no interest in lifting heavier weights so I wanted to take a moment to review the benefits of adding a heavy metcon WOD...

CrossFit on 18th and Crossroads Bootcamp are very excited to offer a heavy metcon class starting this Saturday February 5 at 11am.
