Geneseo CrossFitters out and about

Numbers realizing that Ariel is about to kick his butt on pullups at the CrossFit 585 grand opening!

Coop and Numbers back on the pull up bar together!

This time with 50# back packs!

Use #98 for old karate belts. They are excellent for tying a kettlebell to your waist for weighted pullups!

Chase approaches the bar for a max attempt

And gave me some pointers on improving my jump rope skillz!

Baby Daddy worked in on Chase's set and set himself a new PR! Numbers and I also set some deadlift personal records today! We have fun on Saturdays!

Craig found this article in the Wall Street Journal. I think CrossFit ought to be a big part of the solution!

Props to Austin Peters.....

......who ran the Fischer 5k in 17:51 and won! That's 5:45 mile splits for 3 miles! Wow! And he was wearing his CrossFit Geneseo t-shirt! He can also do a handstand pushup! We are all very proud of you Austin! Keep up the good work!

There is just amazing stuff going on around here lately! Karen and Steven both did handstands last night...first time since gradeschool. Cooper's Mom did a super job with her Clean and jerk this morning, chics doing pull ups like they've done it their whole lives, Numbers did a 6:28 Fran yesterday! Everyone here is kicking butt lately!! I LOVE my job!!!

Don't they look awesome?!

Courtney and Ariel are really taking off with their pull ups! I'm so proud!

Numbers took 10 minutes off his Angie time today!

Numbers trains consistently and he gets results.

Great article from Lis Darsh at CrossFit Watertown.

Geneseo CrossFitters out and about

Can anyone identify the Geneseo crossfitter who set down her trumpet and did burpees during the Toronto Santa Claus Parade???

We have a Rock Star among us!

We are all rock stars.....but this needs to be highlighted

Courtney did a 215# backsquat, 95# press and 290# DL this morning which gives her a total of 600#! That is a 65# increase in her total since May! Make sure you give her a high five!

Numbers and Austin messing around with handstands! Austin turned 14 today!

Marsha, Lori, George, Ariel, Numbers, Steven, JP, Laura, Craig and I went up to Rochester last night for the grand opening of CrossFit 585

We had a great time and Eric and Tello have a really nice gym!

I'm in Montclair, NJ this evening and going to attend a meeting of Northeast CrossFit affiliates tomorrow. Don't worry! I'll be back for 5 AM on Monday!

There is just some fantastic stuff going on here!

Ariel came to us one year ago, a very cute little girl with noodle arms. Now she's doing pull ups on the big girl bar and doing these awesome weighted pushups. That's a 25 # plate folks!! I'm so proud of you lady!


Cliff, these workouts are tough but I really don't think you need to be armed!

Thank you to our Veterans today!

Big, big thank you for your service George, JP, Cliff, and Craig!

Did a little inversion practice today

It's good to get comfortable with being upside down! Austin did a free standing handstand pushup (as well as a lot of walking around on his hands!) this morning and his mom is getting more comfortable up side down using the bands. Ariel also did a free standing handstand this morning! Wow!

New and old faces

New members Andrea, Don and Katie are doing great!!

She got it!!!

Big, big congrats to Karen Linder who got her first pull up tonight!!!!

Almost Karen!

You are soooo close! You're gonna have that pull up soon!


4 days straight Laura and Lori. What's that about the Bethany Wadsworth Pain Train???


Austin and Sandy. The family that deadlifts together stays together! Austin hadn't been here in awhile d/t a very sucessful (I might add) cross-country season, but still managed to pull 165# off the floor 3 reps at a body weight of 108#! Not bad my young friend, not bad!

Big welcome to new member Katie! I didn't manage to snap any pics of her this week, but the 9AM crew knows her now! Katie comes to us after some initial fantastic coaching from JP. Welcome Katie! We are very glad you're here!

Announcement!

We will be having our "12 days of Christmas" workout and party on Sunday December 13 at 2:00 PM. We have invited the Dansville Fitness club to join us! Just like the Palooza...family and friends (as well as our friends from Rochester) are invited! One does not need to do the workout to attend the party, but keep in mind Geneseo CrossFitters.....you WILL do this workout even if you don't come to the party ;)!

SAVE THE DATE!!!

Jessica and Cliff KTE

Cooper's mom

a.k.a. Becky with near perfect sumo deadlift high pull form. Hips fully extended and elbows high and on the outside.

JP and I are trying to put together a little Christmastime get together...of course there might be a workout involved. I'll keep you posted. The gift of fitness at Christmas! Life is good!

9 AM crew dealing with the roll of the dice!

The manditory cute pic of Timmy and Ariel is feeling better...at least better enough to do a few burpees!

We're going to close a little early on Friday November 13 so that we can attend the Grand Opening of CrossFit 585 in Rochester that evening! Let me know if you want to go so we can carpool!
