Fight Gone Good

Who says Crossfit can't make you ripped?!?! Im here with Coach Carey and client Mel at this weekends big event, FIGHT GONE BAD. We raised over $27,000 for Prostate Cancer and Wounded Warriors and had an awesome time doing. The support was great and our participants all crushed the workout. Thanks to all of you who donated to this cause and all who showed up to show support, we couldn't have done it without you!

Personal Empowerment


This past weekend I was lucky enough to get to attend a Trigger Point Certification taught by the man himself, Cassidy Phillips (inventor of the TP system). By gaining extensive knowledge on this product, I have a whole new tool to help clients that might have biomechanic issues and ongoing injuries. The Trigger Point System is basically an intense massage that gets deep into the fascia and releases tense buildup that we have from years of overworking our bodies. It creates elasticity within the muscles and allows people to perform at a level they desire. The Trigger Point shows us the difference between treating the problem rather than the symptom.

The Incredible Shrinking Woman!


This is a before and after pic of Mel Joulwan of Crossfit Central, also known on the streets as "Meliscious". Mel is one of my hardcore bootcampers and has just recently moved into an indoor class as well. She is a great example of what happens when you put nutrition, exercise, and supplementation all into one package....a new person! By zoning and Crossfitting Mel has lost a total of 38 inches, 44 pounds, and 4 jean sizes!!! She recently came in 3rd in the Spartan 300 challenge. Mel is not only a role model for many people trying to change their fitness levels and lifestyles, but also sets the standard for what we here at Crossfit are trying to acheive. Just want to give a shout out to Mel and tell you that all of the sweat and tears you have gone through have no question paid off! You are a true Rockstar, YOU GO GIRL!!
