Hypoxia Gym

Before we learn to squat, we are taught.  We also learn how to clean, press, snatch, pull up, muscle up, and on and on.  We learn the movements.  How about running?

Most of the time we hear something similar to, “Go run a 40.  Go run a mile.  Go run a 5k.”  What does that really mean?

Running is actually a skill.  Ever wonder why about 80 percent of the running community is usually “running with an injury?”  Bad form, bad equipment, no strength, and no body care.

We are teaching running as a skill as part of our Crossfit Running and Endurance.  As part of our six week class, we will be learning skills and drill to be more durable, run longer and faster, and how to properly run learning techniques based on the POSE running method.

The classes begin on Wednesday, April 7 and will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.  The cost is only $60.  Really!

If you want to learn running as a skill, sign up now at the gym.  The weekday classes are at 5:30 pm, and Saturday is at 10am or on your own based on the workout.Hey!  one more thing.  Check us out here.

Two certifications and two days of winter adventure in one great trip.  And lodging.  Really!

The two day Gymnastic certification presented by Jeff Tucker is to educate you in basic gymnastic movements which in turn will allow you to progress in your CrossFit workouts.  Such skills and drills, basic or otherwise, will allow you to develop strength moves and variations in your personal training.  All of these movements are based on form and the progression toward form with strength.  Small moves will bring great rewards – you don’t rush these movements, you LEARN them!

The CrossFit Nutrition Seminar is one day with Matt Lalonde and Bobbi Millsaps learning the art and science of performance nutrition. Matt and Bobbi are teaching the seminar under the guidance of Robb Wolf.  The day will include lecture and theory of performance eating, recovery and optimizing health and longevity. Significant emphasis will be placed on the PRACTICAL implementation of Paleo/Zone concepts. By the end of the day you and your clients will have no more excuses why you cannot feed and water yourself for optimum performance!

You then get to choose two days of outdoor winter adventure.  San Juan Mountain Guides,  will be leading you in your choice of two of the following: ice climbing, backcountry ski touring, snowshoeing, or crosscountry skiing.  Never been on vertical ice before?  Never been in the backcountry to ski or snowshoe before?  Remember one of the tenants of CrossFit.  Try new sports.

The Ouray Ice Park attracts visitors from all over the world.  Spend a day learning to ice climb or hone your skills on harder ice or mixed routes.  Or choose to venture into the high country around Ouray for a taste of backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, or crosscountry skiing.  All equipment needed for the adventure will be provided.

The location is Hypoxia CrossFit  in Ouray Colorado.  Ouray is known as the Switzerland of America.  The town sits nestled in a box canyon just below 8,000 feet in the heart of the San Juan Mountains in southwestern Colorado.  You will be guests of the Timber Ridge Lodge, at the north end of town.  The town of Ouray is less than one square mile, and has 900 year round residents.  This is a cozy location in a beautiful setting.

If you would like to stay and play beyond the certification dates, you can make arrangements with the Timber Ridge Lodge.  While in town, you can visit the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.  You can also enjoy front country skiing at Telluride, just an hour by car.

There is no 1:00 class this week, only 6:00 and 8:15.

p>We will resume the 5:30 class starting on 9/8.
