Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing.

The program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

The needs of Olympic athletes and the average Joe differ by degree not kind. Our nation’s military, triathletes, firefighters, housewives (and students like you) have found their best fitness from the same regimen.

Come on by the weight room below SC1 and check us out. All you need are some gym clothes and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone and push yourself!

Solecki's Filthy Fifty

"I find that people who workout because they hate the way they look or their body may have dramatic results in the beginning, but it never lasts and they won't be truly happy. Learn to LOVE working out! Learn to love the anticipation of knowing you are going to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Learn to enjoy the feeling of satisfaction and pride that comes from knowing that you just gave everything you had; a true sense of accomplishment. If you can learn to love yourself and working out...you will be amazed by the results that you can have."

WOD for Warriors

Special event for Veteran's Day today!

Meet at 3:00 per usual then we will carpool over to Bulldog CrossFit in Forest Park.

The Situation:

A divide exists between military veterans and the civilian community. With the fighting force consisting of only 1% of the country's population, that divide is growing. This fact is damaging to Veterans as they attempt to reconcile their lives as they exit the military, and face a population that does not understand their experience. Team RWB, and WOD for Warriors, aims to bridge that divide.


The Mission:

Conduct WOD for Warriors on Veterans day to further connect the Crossfit community with veterans. In addition, show support for their service and sacrifice by honoring them on this day (11.11.11), set aside by Congress, for that specific purpose.

We want to provide a tough, team oriented, meaningful WOD that the Crossfit community can really sink their teeth into and be challenged by. Team RWB's model of advocacy is all about partnering Soldiers and Civillians, and growing these bonds by fostering meaningful friendships. By executing a Team WOD, we emphasize this source of strength; community.


The WOD:

11 Rounds:
11 Exercises
11 Reps each
to be executed in 2 person teams

1- Burpees
2- Tuck Jumps
3- HSPU - buddy holds feet
4- Ring dips
5- Sit-ups
6- Air Squats
7- Deadlift (135/95)
8- Pullups (any type)
9- Press (45/25 plates)
10- Jumping Lunges
11- 11 meter fireman's carry

A two person team will have one member working at all times. #1 begins with burpees, once complete, #2 executes tuck jump, once complete, #1 executes HSPU while #2 holds feet, then #2 executes Ring Dips, and so forth. Since there an odd number of exercises, the second time through, #2 will start burpees, #1 will do tuck jumps, etc. The idea is a quick and even work-rest cycle, high intensity, giving it our all to honor our Veterans, and improving our ability to move more further faster!

"Activation"


Crossfit Games 2008 Inspirational video | Break.com

The girl in the above video is Kallista Pappas, and at age 14 she was the youngest person ever to qualify for the CrossFit Games. The event in the video is 30 clean & jerks for time at 100lbs, and she only weighed 103lbs. She didn't win, in fact she came in last. But the crowd and other competitors yelled and cheered more for her than they did for the person who came in first. An amazing display of grit, determination, and physical and mental toughness.
