All-Pro Member of the Year:

So I've decided to do my inaugural All-Pro of the year award. Awarding the most outstanding member in 2012 (even though APF has only been in operation since the early summer). What more can I say about this amazing person? She was not only my first member , she is one of the nicest and hardest working people I have ever met.  This woman has shown up to the gym at least 3 times
a week since we have started and has put out %1000 effort every single time. No matter what I put her through, she has had the grit and will power to push through and finish. Which explains the amazing results she has achieved. At 46 years young, she has lost over 20 pounds and has gained substantial overall strength and fitness (135 pound clean and jerk... No BS). So I'm proud to announce the 2012 All-Pro member of the year to LouAnn Crook!! The picture above is LouAnn performing her first kipping pull-up last night. I couldn't have been more stoked and fired up over witnessing this accomplishment she has worked so diligently to achieve. I'm excited to see LouAnn compete in the 2013 Crossfit Open as a master and I look forward to working with her for a long time to come. Congratulation LouAnn

PR's for DAYS!!

HERE IS SOME COOL PICS FROM LAST WEEK

gritty workout with swings, ring rows and tuck jumps

ascending wall ball and pull-up ladder. that one was nasty..but always fun

former huskies qb Johnny D doin some deadlifts

lori and adam rockin over 150 air squats

Finally as I have an opportunity to post on the blog and the first snow falls in Graham, I look back on the progress our community and gym has made the past 6 months. I can honestly say that even though I still have a lot more work to do on developing the gym with enhanced equipment and optimal programming, I could not be more excited and fired up with the accomplishments and comradery that we have achieved thus far. Nothing gets me more stoked than when I see someone hit a PR (personal record) on a lift or workout and performs 10 plus true push ups when they couldnt do 1 when they started. Our increased strength on a lift by over 50%! For some of our awesome ladies their first kipping pull ups are RIGHT around the corner and I so can NOT wait to see that!! Tomorrow night will be the last class for 10 days because I will be heading back to California to visit family and friends for Christmas break. I will still be posting workouts on facebook and expect everybody to report their scores and times on the wods. I hope everyone has an amazing holiday and I could not be more optimistic for 2013 at APF.

Also some new developments: starting January 7th we will have MORNING classes. 530 and 630 am. I'm not an early riser but I will be here kicking butt with all you morning people that love to get their sweat on before the sun comes up to tackle the day. Incredible work done this week by all my amazing people. You guys never fail to impress me with your effort and continued persistance. Let's keep this attitude rolling, see you guys on Monday.

All-Pro Day

doin work as usual

Officially reached the 6 month mark at All Pro Fitness, and what a 6 months it has been!! I've seen some major changes in some truly inspirational and quality people. I can only imagine the major accomplishments that will be achieved if we continue to work hard, stay the course and build off our grassroots foundation. There is no doubt what my motivation and drive in my everyday life is. It is my family, friends and my All Pro's that I train and coach at my gym. Great workout tonight!! Let's be persistant with our recovery with nutrition, stetching and rest. See you tomorrow
