Sept 11th Hero WOD.

Please join us on the McDonough city square for a great workout Saturday morning September 11th.  We will be doing one of our HERO workouts to honor those who serve today and the many that  have lost their lives for our great country.   There are so many HEROES that have helped to make our country great, and we want to do this workout  in a public area to show our support for them.  The WOD will be at 8:00 am right in the middle of the city square on the lawn.  Come and bring a friend!  The free workout for newcomers will be at 9:00.

Interview with Chris Spealler

Check out this cool interview with Chris Spealler….taken from http://www.wannabebig.com/interviews/one-of-crossfits-finest-an-interview-with-chris-spealler/

CrossFit is fast becoming a household name.  CrossFit.com defines the modality as strength and conditioning program whose specialty is not specializing in any one form of fitness. 

CrossFit creates an athlete who is proficient across the spectrum of physical expression with the idea being that real life situations demand this form of generalized conditioning.  As such, CrossFit is the training style of choice for many police departments, military personnel, and martial artists not to mention just about anyone who simply wants to be in the best shape of their lives. 

Chris Spealler is one of CrossFit’s finest.  He owns CrossFit Park City in Park City, Utah.  He is also a top competitor in the annual CrossFit Games with three top 10 finishes to his credit (to include 3rd at the 2010 Games!). 

The balance of this article will be an interview with Chris which will provide more details about him personally and delve deeper into the phenomenon that is CrossFit.   

Chris Mason: Chris, for many of our readers this article will be their first encounter with CrossFit.  So far they know you are a prime example of a CrossFit athlete.  Can you provide us a brief bio on yourself? Perhaps some personal information and how you found CrossFit? 

Chris Spealler: Ok, to start, I’m 31 years old and married with a four and a half month old baby boy.  Our other baby is our black lab.  We live in a small town just outside of Park City, Utah.  I am a CrossFit affiliate (gym) owner and I also work for CrossFit Headquarters as a head trainer.  As already stated, I am an active CrossFit Games competitor.   

Outside of my CrossFit life I love skiing and mountain biking.  When I am not traveling on the weekends my family and I attend Capital Church.   

My athletic background is pretty expansive and diverse.  I have been active in sports for as long as I can recall.  My parents were active in sports throughout their youth and they instilled a love for athletics in my sister and me from a very early age.  I think they had a healthy way of going about encouraging us to be athletic.  They provided us a great deal of freedom in choosing the sports we wanted to participate in, but they had a rule that we had to stick with a sport for at least one season once chosen.  This taught us how to stick with something and thus was a valuable lesson in personal stability.

“Murph” news……

We had about 80 people tackle “Murph” today!  What a great day!  It is so cool to see so many people accept that challenge and reach down deep and find that something extra to finish the drill.  Great work everyone!
