We’d like to send out a great big thank you to everybody that came out for the Open House. To our members who came out and hit a great WOD and then stuck around to welcome and cheer on the new people, what can I say – thank you, thank you, thank you. You guys get it, you understand what this community is all about and we are so proud and thankful to have you with us. To the people who stopped by to check it out, hope it met your expectations.  We hope you learned something about CrossFit and, we would love to see you again soon. Call or email anytime to schedule your FREE, private, Intro session.

Further proof that the mainstream fitness industry just doesn’t get it!

I don’t want to go off on too much of a rant here, but this just blows me away.  I have a post planned out that will discuss appropriate footwear for CrossFit.  I don’t want to let too much out of the bag but suffice it to say, the Reebok EasyTone is not likely to end up on my recommended list anytime soon.  I have so many issues with this shoe that it’s almost hard to know where to start.  What this shoe screams to me is that THEY STILL DON’T GET IT.  Mainstream fitness still thinks that it’s all about aesthetics.  They don’t understand that you can look good and still die a young, weak and unhealthy wretch. 

Fitness is about developing capacity across the 10 recognized physical skills (page 4).  Notice on the list that “a nice looking ass” is not part of the definition of fitness.  It happens to be a benefit that often comes with developing well rounded fitness, but it’s not a requirement.  It’s too bad that the mainstream fitness industry perpetuates this line of crap that fitness is about how you look and not how you feel or perform.  Our goal at Kitsap CrossFit is to teach you otherwise.

Rant over!
