In a world where women are told what they can't do, we are here to do it better than you!!



The Elite Woman's Mission:

We are the women of Elite CrossFit. We are mothers, grandmothers, wives, girlfriends, sisters and daughters. We are secretaries, CPA's, students, teachers, community leaders, professors, and coaches. We are a family of females, driven by the goal to be better human beings. We achieve this through fitness. We will lift, jump, run, swing, press, squat, throw, pull, snatch, clean, row, win, lose, and climb our way to the top! We will never give up. Ever. We are here to send a powerful message that beauty and confidence are found through strength. And we are strong. To all the ladies who are scared of a barbell, to those afraid to sweat, and to all the women who have sufficed to "girl pushups," we challenge you to take the leap; adequate is not our goal. Better is what we must be. We will push each other, compete, succeed, fail, and endure pain some men may not imagine. And we will do it everyday, so we are better than we were yesterday.

Myth Buster

--Your muscles don't get leaner...you do!
--There is no possible way to "lengthen" your muscles without some radical orthopedic surgery.
--Fat does not make you fat! Nor does +protein make your muscles bulk up and -protein make them smaller.
--There ARE such things as "good" and "bad" carbs. Don't eat the bad ones often!
--Women, no matter how much weight they lift, will never ever get as big as men. (Unless those men are slim by nature and deconditioned, or 12 years old, or unless those women take steroids.)
--Cutting water-weight is not a form of weight loss. Hydrate or die!!
--Your body does not "train" itself to hold onto fat instead of burning it. Nor can you stimulate weight/fat loss in one specific area.
--"Cardio" = "50 burpees"
--Everyone google "hyperinsulinemia."
--SQUAT!!!
--Any activity is and should be science-based. Be a student of your sport, learn and apply daily.

Have a nice day!! :)
