Tuesday was the workout “Nancy” and it involves overhead squatting and running. Please comment and share your Nancy experience with us all:)

This is a fantastic workout - pinpoints weaknesses like shoulder and hip flexor flexibility, challenges one’s lactate threshold, and ability to express squat strength and run endurance at the same time.

Jay T. set a new gym record today with a time of 13:58! Way to go Jay. He also did a weighted pull up with 123 lbs but didn’t count it cause he only got his chin over the bar. I like those standards.


Not high enough…dang it, I have to lower my PR now.

If you have been thinking about checking out CrossFit Portland but feel like you need to “get in shape first”, here is a great example of how we scale our workouts so anyone can do it. We prescribe movements and exercises that will strengthen you from your core to your extremities. The overhead squat delivers this strength in a most effective way.

The load (the weight) is scaled appropriately for Sonja.




Introduction Gymnastics and Tumbling class was super fun tonight! Ramman helped everyone with a bunch of basic skills like cartwells, headstands, swinging on the parallel bars, pommel horse trips, etc. You should come check it out!
