- *these sessions are for anyone interested in learning about our training
Crossfit is a growing community and another step in the evolution of physical fitness. Many people learn about this type of training by word of mouth or online searches. The training involves foundational movements combined with intensity and motivation. For some this conjures up reluctance and hesitation regarding their ability to participate.
"I don't think I can keep up."
"What if I don't know the exercises?"
"I'm not strong enough to do pull ups, how can I do the workouts?"
These are all questions and comments we hear when people come to our gym.
#1 You can keep up! We modify and scale the workout according to your abilities.
#2 We teach and coach. We stress learning proper form first before increasing weight or intensity levels.
#3 Worried about not being able to perform certain exercises? No worries. We will go over how to perform the exercises as well as how to modify the exercise to make it doable for you.
Basically we have two requirements. The first is to have the self motivation to walk in our doors. The second is the dedication and willingness to work hard. Simple enough. We handle things from there. We are not a typical gym and our community of hard working crossfitters help create a supportive and motivational group.

Raw Brownie Bars
1 cup Almonds (preferrably almonds that have been soaked in an acidulated medium (i.e. lemon juice) for at least eight hours.)
1 cup dates
5 tablespoons raw cacao (cocoa) powder
4 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut
2 tablespoons honey (optional) *I would not recommend honey for people who are trying to lose weight. The bars are sweet enough without it anyways!
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
--Frosting choices below
1. Place almonds alone in your food processor and process until crumbly.
2. Add dates to the almonds and process again until the mixture sticks together and the dates are well processed.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and process again until the mixture turns dark chocolatey brown. Stop processing before it gets too buttery. (There should still be air between the small bits so that you will be able to press them down into your brownie pan.)
4. Dump the mixture into a loaf pan
5. Store in Refrigerator
3 tablespoons raw cacao (cocoa) powder
2 teaspoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons honey (optional)
3 tablespoons of Almond butter
1 teaspoon of Vanilla extract

1/4 cup cold-pressed coconut oil
3/4 cup water

**Frosting may be slightly runny but will firm up in the refrigerator.
