Death by 10 meters anyone?

CrossFit is growing there is no doubt about it. Pro athletes, MMA fighters, and now celebrities are starting to CrossFit.

Lately we found pop singer Kelly Clarkson says she CrossFits.

Is that welcome news for our community?

Or not?

Why?

If you’re truly committed to CrossFit, does it really matter what anybody else says or does?

Great Form Hali!

We are excited to announce our 1st Challenge at CrossFit Sioux Falls. We all know how popular the Biggest Loser is and the amazing results people achieve. Well we are doing the BIGGEST WINNER challenge.

And the Challenge you ask?…is the “Cindy” challenge.

“Cindy”
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 Pullups
10 Pushups
15 Squats

How the Challenge Works

1. GET REGISTERED – get your name on the list and pay the $20 entry (remember, $15 goes back in the “kitty” for prize money).
2. PRELIMS – Sat. May 30th set your baseline. Set your baseline “Cindy” rounds. This will be the time off of which we will calculate your improvement.
3. TRAIN – CrossFit for 8 weeks with the intention of improving your “Cindy” time.
4. FINALS – Sat. July 25th. Go for YOUR best “Cindy” time!

** PRIZES will be awarded for:
• Most improvement – 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place in combined women’s and men’s divisions.
• Most Rounds – 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in M1 and W1 divisions.

Men’s Categories

Women’s Categories
W2: Green Band on Pullups, Pushups on knees
W1: No bands on Pullups, Pushups chest to floor no knees

Rules:
– You must choose the category you are going to compete in and STAY in that category for the finals. Rankings for TIME:
o There will be one master list ranking participants based on time
o Your TIME rank will be based on your performance within your category.
o Categories will be listed in the order M1, M2. This means that all M1 category finishers will be ranked above all the M2 category finishers.
o For example, if you compete in the M2 category, the best ranking you can have is one below the lowest in the M1 category. So if there are 6 people in the M1 category, your ranking, if you have the highest time in the M2 category, is #7.
– Rankings for IMPROVEMENT:
o There will be one master list ranking participants on percentage improvement.
o This list is NOT categorized. Your category has no bearing on where you finish on this list.
