News Flash !*@&!*!

Level 2 gymnastic certification? That's right... This will be a continuation of functional core strength work and body movements learned at a level one cert for CrossFit WOD's; however we will focus more specifically on larger more difficult body movements and gymnastic skills. We will host this cert at GSX in order to offer a safe environment for the more advanced movements and skill work...

At GSX we have all the equipment - in ground trampolines, safety harnesses, tumbling pits, air tracks, and coaches needed to put on a very challenging body awareness and body movement certification. We will work on basic to intermediate gymnastic elements - back tucks (in tumbling pit & trampoline & floor)), front tucks (in tumbling pit & trampoline & floor), front handsprings, back handsprings, front and back walk overs, balance work, ring work (including backward rolls to support, muscle ups, handstands on rings), front levers, planche, parallel bar work, mushroom work, trampoline work, spotting techniques, and some Gymnastics 101.

Prerequisites: You must have attended a CrossFit level one gymnastic cert or been prior approved via Coach Jeff Tucker.

Paint Party, This Sunday @ 1pm

The Outdoor Training Center at Hell's Half Acre is just about finished. Come join us this Sunday, at 1pm, for a little paint party. All are welcome. Leave your mark on this one of a kind training area. Sound off to comments, and let us know you're coming.

CrossFit Running & Endurance Training

CrossFit Running & Endurance Training at GSX, Feb 21st-22nd

What's your CrossFit "Helen" time? It could be better in a weekend by improving your running efficiency.

Maybe you want to improve your 5k, 1 mile, or 400m times? Or your marathon? Do you hurt when you run? Do you suffer from shin splints, knee or hip pain? Improving your running efficiency may be the key to running both pain free and faster.

You will run less than 2.5 total miles over the weekend and spend 2 full days with Coach Brian MacKenzie learning the fundamentals of run technique. Learn how to utilize CrossFit and minimize oxidative overload to improve the performances of both your short distance and endurance athletes.

Brian Mackenzie is an expert in strength and conditioning forendurance athletes, and is the creator of http://www.crossfitendurance.com/ and a CrossFit Endurance Coach. He is a Level 3 CrossFit Certified Trainer and is a Level 3 POSE Certified Running Coach. Brian is the owner of CrossFit Newport Beach, and operates an internship for professional trainers. He has been a competitive Ultra Runner and Ironman Triathlete. He has competed in Ironman Canada along with several ultra marathons ranging from 50k to 100 miles including theWestern States 100 and the Angeles Crest 100. Brian has successfully used CrossFit as the cornerstone of his programming for endurance athletes, while supplementing sport. His athletes train sometimes a third of what the norm train with superior results.

State of the Union

On Jan 21, 2009 CrossFit at GSX will have completed its first year under its belt... And what a great inaugural year that has been. It would have been impossible to predict the effect CrossFit was going to have on our lives and the lives of those, who of their own accord stepped within our doors.

If you feel this banner year has been a good beginning - you ain't seen nothing yet! We have much planned in the way of certifications, equipment, events, programing, expansion, and positive changes for CrossFitters and those who want and desire real positive changes in their lives.

We have merely taken the first steps toward a brighter and more exciting future. Stay posted gang and come be a part of the CrossFit revolution at GSX. For those of you have have dedicated your time and efforts at GSX this first year - hold on to your socks! Its gonna get fast and furious in 2009!

Much Love - Tucker
