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.

crossfit for the handyman's soul

my weekend binge of chips and salsa was neutralized not by a crossfit wod..nope..the Jesus WOD friday did it in for me...but by hours of yard work. hard work and sweat pay off...whether it's Fran, 1RM deadlift, 5k run, or shoveling mulch and picking weeds. thanks to my amazingly high crossfit work capacity...which is directly related to power, and thus, intensity...i was able to sustain a few hours in a 1/2 squat, 1/2 deadlift position plucking weeds from their roots and loading, unloading, dumping and shoveling 40lb bags of mulch. crossfit is not a workout program. it will not call for cardio, resistance training, m-w-f back and legs, tues-thurs arms and chest, but it will utilize all possible modes and domains in conjunction with full-body, compound movements that branch across a lifetime...forever safely and effectively bridging the gap between fitness and health. skinny is not fit. healthy is not disease-free. if you can move large loads, long distances, quickly, you are FIT AND HEALTHY. you are CROSSFIT! needless to say, the front yard looks great, i was able to increase my work capacity "WOD-free," and the poop smell inside my car thankfully didn't last too long!! hope everyone had a great weekend!! happy easter!!
