Tires were flipping, ropes were whipping, and the rower wheels were spinning! Afternoon crew, come prepared! :) AMAZING displays of teamwork and sportsmanship! So impressed by you athletes.

It was impossible to capture ALL the awesomeness, but check FB soon for the more of the action.

Big things happening this weekend!

The Stride is on Saturday! We are proud to support Discovery Dental and the Washougal Schools by being involved, so come on out to have fun and give Tom, Dave, and the rest of Washougal a run for their money!

One of the best days of the Year

SONY DSC

It’s a day to celebrate! Congrats to Bryan on rolling into the early bird class and throwing down a new PR! Incredible. Nice way to start your birthday. :)

Dozens of you set or smashed your PRs today. You each deserve a leap-in-the-air high-five!! If I missed you in class, find someone to do that with right now. You’re hard work has really paid off!

Today is one of my favorite days of the year! When you see this handsome guy, please wish him a happy 29th birthday!

It’s Raining PRs!

Gary celebrated Earth day with a wall ball workout earlier this week. ;) This guy is an amazing athlete, and the master mind behind the tire rigs that we got to play with last weekend! Thank you, Gary. It’s going to be an incredible summer of flipping, hitting, pulling and pushing!

We aren’t specifically testing maxes today, but it’s barely noon and already scores of you have set PRs simply because you have gotten THAT much stronger! I’m so lucky to be your coach! And outrageously proud. Thanks for being amazing!

Happy belated birthday to Dave S. – what a great week to have a birthday!

  1. Yes, Dave had a happy birthday, he will be back in the box in the future.

  2. Eric Tiberius Johnson says:

    Another great, relevant article. I used to think this way and peep in at Camas once in a while from a distance. I felt like I would be a mere, lowly pigeon amongst strong swift eagles. Actually, pride is what kept me delayed from making THE key move to improving my health. I figured: Why would I want to fail in front of strangers and look comparatively weak and feeble? The truth of the matter is: A) everyone fails – that's what makes them stronger. B) People aren't really strangers once you engage them in a positive atmosphere. and C) The community of encouragement and good coaching found in a Crossfit box neutralizes all those fears and illusions that our pride can conjure up, which keeps us from reaching full potential. Anyway, that was how the old me thought.

Monday Madness!

Happy Birthday to Kevin! Have an awesome day, man!!

Ok, times are a changing. :) Not class times, but how we do business. As you guys know, we are constantly upgrading, testing, tweaking and changing to make your CrossFit experience the best it can be.

We started expecting a lot more out of you guys, and you delivered.

The North Pacific Elements program is a raving success! Athletes now enter regular CrossFit classes with a solid understanding of the Olympic lifts, basic gymnastics, and fundamental movements.

From now on, there will be no penalty for arriving late. If you are stuck in traffic and roll in a few minutes late, no biggy. Just jump into the warm up and do your best. It’s your hour with us. You get what you put in. The start and end time will not change. The more involved you are, the more you get out of your time with us. Now, a few things go along with this:

-If you are a new athlete or coming in the early morning class, you should BE ON TIME. (Because if you are new,  you NEED this time! And if you are a 6AM person, you’re only late because you were lazy and didn’t get up early enough.)

-Elements athletes are still required to arrive on time. No late comers.

-If you are more than 15 minutes late, don’t bother coming because you will miss too much.

-If you are always late, this is going to be an issue. If you constantly miss a quarter of the class, we know you won’t be getting what we strive for you to get out of class – access to the finest coaching of constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.

Oh, and don’t worry: The other bullets of the board still apply!!! ;) If you have your name on the board, for gosh’s sake, DO YOUR BURPEES!
