MBS Rowing Class is in Session

MBS Rowing Club

For the past few months, we have been experimenting with a new rowing program to add some variety to the gym and to allow our members to get some sport specific coaching from Aaron, one of our newest coaches.

This is a great opportunity for everyone to clean up their technique and learn to row more efficiently during a 2000 meter piece or 500 meter sprints during a WOD.

Rowing Schedule:

Tuesday’s at 7pm - OPEN Class (this class will focus on technique and will offer some challenging rowing WODs).

Friday’s at 11am - Novice Class ( this class will focus on basic rowing technique and some easier rowing WODs).

If you are interested in attending our rowing class, but you’re looking for a time that fits better with your schedule, please let us know what works for you in comments. We’ll see what we can do.

Our Friends in Florida

One of the greatest things about being a part of our community is the friendships we make and support we get from one another.

It doesn't seem like that long ago our friends Jason and Jenny we're wodding it up with us here at the hanger. Even though they've moved cross country we are fortunate to still have our friendship with them. We miss their presents at the gym and we're glad to see they're still representing!

An update from Jason;
“Jenny and I ran a warrior dash here in Florida this weekend, and when we changed after the race we realized we both had MBS shirts on. Thought we'd send you a pic to let you know we're still representing for MBS over here. Hope all is well with you, Janelle and the kid. We miss the box and everyone in it.
Take care,”
Jason and Jenny Wagnon

 Parkour Seminar at MBS

MBS will be hosting a Parkour Seminar by APEX Movement on Saturday, February 25th. What is parkour, and why should a CrossFitter care? Parkour is an art of movement in which you train the body and mind to over come obstacles. Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but is common in areas where obstacles are prevalent like walls, barriers, fences, stairs, and gaps. Parkour practitioners find the most efficient way to move themselves from point A to point B in their environment by jumping, vaulting, running, climbing, and rolling. Sound familiar? Just like CrossFit, Parkour challenges you to assess, identify, and execute effective body movement. If you want to improve your gymnastics movements, this is definitely the course for you. Beyond that, building better body awareness is critical to anything we do in CrossFit. And it's fun!!! Challenge your skills to a new and different way to workout!

I just wanted to share a little video of the OC Throwdown this weekend. This is the final event for the men's elite. There were some awesome competitors there and I had a great time - thanks to SICFit.com for the video!

Would you ever do a CrossFit Competition/Vacation? Honestly, that's how I started competing in 2008…Janelle and I coordinated our vacation with the 2nd ever CrossFit Games in 2008. We've been doing every year since!
