0 to 9 Pullups without Bands in 5 Weeks!

0 to 9 Pullups without Bands in 5 Weeks!


Congratulations to Troy Keyes!

Troy is Mr. Consistentency and it is paying off. Troy is a committed 5 times a week CrossFitter! Rain, snow, sleet, or shine Troy brings his intensity and energy to every class. Troy we appreciate all the hard work and the great example you set for all of us. Thank You!

Check out Troy’s Story:

“I can’t say enough good things about CrossFit and Chris. Every workout is different and exciting, which keeps me coming back. I have always been in to running and lifting weights occasionally, but I always had a problem motivating myself and pushing myself like I knew I should. CrossFit has changed that!

After just 5 weeks (going 5 days per week) my jeans no longer fit. This last winter I broke down and bought one pair of 38X32 jeans, which was hard for me because for the past 8 years, I was a 36X32. I gave them (the 38X32’s) to my father-in-law this week because they won’t even come close to staying on. My 36X32 jeans are now loose, and I’m on the last “notch” on my belt.

At this mornings work out, I though I would try to do a pull up without the rubber band assisting straps. I expected I would be able to do 2 or 3. I did 10 of them! I have never in my life (highs school football, military training, etc) been able to do 10 unassisted pull-ups. I was amazed because I never expected results like this after just 5 weeks.

I have had these results and I really haven’t even changed my eating habits, other than a protein shake after my workouts. I feel better physically than I have in the past 10 years. Thanks Chris for everything (except the fact that now I have to go buy new jeans and a new belt.)”

Get your NEW “Success Journals”

Journaling your workouts is one of the important habits to get into for yourself. It is the ultimate form of accountability.

Why do this? There are a ton of reasons. The main benefits include:

– Accurate tracking of progress through logging work out variables
– Effective and precise planing of future work outs (knowing how you performed previously will eliminate guesswork). It is 100% objective, no excuses, nothing wishy washy, just accurate data you can’t argue.
– Heightened motivation and intensity through striving to beat previous bests. (boy do we know about that…)
– Increased focus and efficiency through having a clear, written plan.

Your goals and results are at your fingertips.
