Testimonials

I love Crossfit Bishop. I am the kind of girl that isn't content with 30 minutes of "cardio" on a bike, or a step aerobics class. I like the full body burn, the opportunity to compete, and most of all the surprise that comes with doing something you didn't think you could do. Crossfit is the master at all of this. Crossfit breaks your body down so it can build back up into a better stronger one. It challenges your mind when you do three more reps than you thought possible. And it teaches your heart all you are capable of. Colin is a great instructor. I’ve never had a personal trainer but it is awesome having someone watching your form so closely, it makes you feel safe knowing that someone is looking out for you during challenging exercises so that you can push yourself a little further. Crossfit Bishop has got Colins intensity and attention to detail, Mollys inspiring fitness and kind spirit, a group of incredibly fun and fit people who are as psyched as you and an adorable baby too. Its certainly one of my favorite places to be in Bishop!!

Crossfit Works!  As a young buck, flush with time to get out in the mountains, I felt strongly that the best training for climbing and backcountry skiing was... climbing and backcountry skiing.  Now I'm by no means the busiest guy, nor do I have the most sedentary job, but I've felt the pinch of time in recent months.  I've spent many days over these busy months with Colin at Crossfit Bishop.   Colin energizes the classes, exudes knowledge and confidence, and successfully walks the fine line between motivation and all out pushing.  I just had my first opportunity in months to test my new Crossfitted bod'.  I can say that the total body training and the fresh, varied workouts make a huge difference!  The strength and endurance gains from Crossfit really shined on a recent one-day, monstrous exploratory ski tour in the High Sierra. I look forward to continuing to train and continuing to express strength gains.

I really appreciate all the dedication, knowledge, and energy you and Molly are so generous in giving. Your trained, focused attention and interest in supporting not only my fitness goals, but maximizing the quality of my performance, keeps me engaged and committed. It is inspiring to be around and has been a great catalyst fueling a new level in my health and fitness. It has always been a priority for me, but sometimes the conditions just have to be right to step up the quality and intensity. I suppose much like a CF workout...So, really, thanks. You guys are providing something very worthy to the Bishop community.

- Paul Elia

CrossFit is a different kind of fitness program that requires much more than gripping a bar and hammering out concentration curls. The complexity and variety of the movements, coupled with the intensity makes for a compelling system of improving one's physical and mental fitness. This is not accomplished without expert, careful, selfless coaching which Colin Broadwater provides.

Back Squats

5-5-5

Then, 

21-15-9

Thrusters
Box Jumps

This is just the start of the week. This should be light and fast acting as assistance work to the back squats. Don't over do it. You'll need your shoulders and legs for the rest of the week...

Don't forget to clear your calendar for next Saturday's party. We want to celebrate our amazing community. Great food, great people, great opportunity to hang and have a some fun.

Try to get in a little warm up before showing up for this brick if you want the option of adding a little more than previous sessions.  

Either just show up on time to repeat last Sunday's workout, or try this:
Run One Mile
Bike Seven Minutes Out/Seven Minutes Back
Run One Mile 
Bike Seven Minutes Out/Seven Minutes Back

Obviously with a warm up and cool down, this "class" will take longer than an hour.  So, if you want to take this on, do a little warming up before arriving to class at 8:30, and then warm up a little more with us and then plan on taking a little extra time after to cool down...

SPRING FLING next Saturday afternoon/evening/night!!!  Yep, we're gonna have a party and you better be there cause it's gonna be silly fun!  We are going to sell tickets for $15.00 per person so that we can provide a good dinner for you and your guest/s.  In the past we have gone potluck style, but we want you all to be able to just show up and hang without having to take part of your Saturday out to prepare.  So, a few of us are going to spend some time putting together an awesome spread that we can all enjoy.  Your kids will eat free, and we will start at 4:00 so that families that need to leave early can do so, and those that need to work late, just feel free to show up whenever you can make it.  We'll be sorting out details throughout the week, so stay tuned... 

Again, don't forget that the 8 am class is moved back to 7:45 to accomodate for swimming from 9-10:00.  We have around 10 folks signed up for the clinic with the Otto's which is awesome!  Give me a call if you didn't get your name on the board, but would like to be there.

WOD for Saturday morning
Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

Make up Day!  This week was full of great workouts and I'm exhausted just from putting folks through the last few days...  If you've missed any of these days, get your arse in here and get it done!!!  We can also use this last of the weekdays to work on your goals.  It's crunch time if you haven't hit yours yet!!!

And get your name on the whiteboard to get signed up for the swim clinic this Saturday morning.  We need at least eight total for it to go and we have around six or seven signed up so far?!  I know it was a little bit late notice, but if you are planning on being there anyway, then you should definitely go for this opportunity!!!  Do it!!!

And the Tri training plan says...  Swimming!!!  For 30 minutes...

Great opportunity to get some swimming instruction this Saturday morning with Theresa and Donovan Otto.  During our hour at the pool this Saturday, you can pay an additional $15.00 and get both group and individual instruction from these experienced and accomplished swimmers.  Theresa has been teaching for years and Donovan is just plain bad ass in the water.  Don't pass up this opportunity...
