Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …
and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…
Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? 
Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.

Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…
Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!

What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!

For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.

This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.

Lenny hitting another pull up on his way to finishing ‘Fran’!

I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

Awesome job!
At the top of the single arm kettlebell snatch!
Way to rock this workout, Mike!
Another great day of getting Fit at CFNH! See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
“Karen”
150 Wall Ball Shots (20#/10#) to a 10′ target
For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!

Remember, we’ve extended our June Membership Specials through the end of the week (July 3), so regardless of your experience or availability, we’ve got the training plan, membership plan, and awesome members and coaches to help get you there!!!!
Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

Awesome job!
At the top of the single arm kettlebell snatch!
Way to rock this workout, Mike!
Another great day of getting Fit at CFNH! See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
“Karen”
150 Wall Ball Shots (20#/10#) to a 10′ target
For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.

New gal Lucy on the switch taps…
Michelle on the box step ups…

This was a great one, a nice short (or relatively short…) burner of a workout! Just jump in there and get it on!
We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?

This was a great one, a nice short (or relatively short…) burner of a workout! Just jump in there and get it on!
We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?
Saturday’s WOD:

After a particularly awesome Friday Night Happy Hour (a bunch of us did “Fight Gone Bad”) we changed it up and did some technique work on the overhead squat. Fantastic!!!

Remember, we’ve extended our June Membership Specials through the end of the week (July 3), so regardless of your experience or availability, we’ve got the training plan, membership plan, and awesome members and coaches to help get you there!!!!
Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…

Wednesday’s WOD:

12 Pull Ups
Post times to comments.
Next stop, Cirque du Soleil!
First night in, and already swinging that Kettlebell overhead like a pro!
Awesome job, Leah! That’s incredible!!!!! When Leah started less than 6 months ago, she was no where close to doing a pull up (sorry Leah, you know it’s true!) Now look at her! She can probably do 20 pull ups in a row…and this sweet little move!
Thanks for all the cool photos, Adele!
See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!

CrossFit North Hollywood is very proud to announce we are part of the CrossFit community’s “CrossFit Risk Retention Group”! Thank you to all of our members for helping us get there!

Saturday’s WOD:
“Chelsea”
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
1 round of the above movements every minute for 30 minutes. If you can’t make the minute call, drop 1 rep on each movement until you find the appropriate scaling.
Photos from Friday’s ‘Happy Hour WOD’s’: PS…this was soooo much fun!!!
Lenny hitting another pull up on his way to finishing ‘Fran’!
New guy Colombus recovers from another pull up…after he finished he said this was the hardest workout he’s ever finished! You’re welcome!

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

Another great day of getting Fit at CFNH! See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
“Karen”
150 Wall Ball Shots (20#/10#) to a 10′ target
For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!

Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!

By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!

For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for time.
30x each leg box switch taps
20x each leg weighted box step ups

This was a pretty cool invention from Kris, switch taps balance on the ball of the foot, step ups balance and press through the heel, stabilize and press…plus…go as fast as you can! Fantastic!
New gal Lucy on the switch taps…
Michelle on the box step ups…
Greg on the see saw press…
Peanuts on the floor! Clare always has the best expressions!

This was a great one, a nice short (or relatively short…) burner of a workout! Just jump in there and get it on!
We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?
Saturday’s WOD:
Overhead Squat
5-5-5-5-5
Post loads to comments.
After a particularly awesome Friday Night Happy Hour (a bunch of us did “Fight Gone Bad”) we changed it up and did some technique work on the overhead squat. Fantastic!!!
A couple of quick announcements. It’s the end of June, that means our June Memberships Specials are about to go the way of the Buffalo and the Globo Gym…that’s right, they’ll be gone soon…if you haven’t picked one up yet, Jump On It!!! What better time to get in the best shape of your life than right now? Plus, there’s great people, an awesome environment, and the best Fitness Program on the planet…
So yeah, what are you waiting for?

Great job everyone! Faaaaaaantastic!

That means we’ve only got 1 left! Call 818-635-6264 or email CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com to pick up yours.
Remember, we’ve extended our June Membership Specials through the end of the week (July 3), so regardless of your experience or availability, we’ve got the training plan, membership plan, and awesome members and coaches to help get you there!!!!
Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouZFwzABvw4]
Wednesday’s WOD:
“Helen”
3 Rounds for time
400 meter run
21 Kettlebell Swings (53/35#)
12 Pull Ups
Post times to comments.
Next stop, Cirque du Soleil!
First night in, and already swinging that Kettlebell overhead like a pro!
Awesome job, Leah! That’s incredible!!!!! When Leah started less than 6 months ago, she was no where close to doing a pull up (sorry Leah, you know it’s true!) Now look at her! She can probably do 20 pull ups in a row…and this sweet little move!
Thanks for all the cool photos, Adele!
See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!
[wpvideo Ce4KHHGN]
Wednesday’s WOD:
For time.

Knees – to – Elbows
Post times to comments.

For those of you that don’t remember, we’ve started our Wednesday @ 6pm class yesterday, and today we start our Thursday @ 12:30pm class. That means we have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday! We’re growing…ready to come grow with us? Contact us now to schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro to CrossFit session!

Finally, the CrossFit Games are here. Wanna check out what type of fun/pain our Head Trainer Kris is in for this weekend?
[wpvideo DgusdVpm]
And just another cool video that I thought I’d share…pretty awesome!
[wpvideo 1vcnbJWq]
Hey everyone…trying to relay updates as often as I can.
The quest for the 2009 Fittest Man and Woman on the Planet has begun, with a 7.1km steep trail run (see video below).
Our own Kris Clever came in 4th place. There are 5 events today.
Her next event is a series of 20 deadlifts, starting at 185#, and going up to 375#, in 10# increments. The event starts in reverse order of your finish of event 1, so she gets some rest (not too much though).
Try and keep ya’ll posted!

The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!

[wpvideo 1vcnbJWq]
Hey everyone…trying to relay updates as often as I can.
The quest for the 2009 Fittest Man and Woman on the Planet has begun, with a 7.1km steep trail run (see video below).
Our own Kris Clever came in 4th place. There are 5 events today.
Her next event is a series of 20 deadlifts, starting at 185#, and going up to 375#, in 10# increments. The event starts in reverse order of your finish of event 1, so she gets some rest (not too much though).
Try and keep ya’ll posted!
That’s right. After the brutal deadlift workout, our own Kris Clever deadlifted 305#. That puts her after the first 2 events in 3rd place!

CrossFit North Hollywood is very proud to announce we are part of the CrossFit community’s “CrossFit Risk Retention Group”! Thank you to all of our members for helping us get there!

Saturday’s WOD:
“Chelsea”
5 pull ups
10 push ups

1 round of the above movements every minute for 30 minutes. If you can’t make the minute call, drop 1 rep on each movement until you find the appropriate scaling.
Photos from Friday’s ‘Happy Hour WOD’s’: PS…this was soooo much fun!!!
Lenny hitting another pull up on his way to finishing ‘Fran’!
New guy Colombus recovers from another pull up…after he finished he said this was the hardest workout he’s ever finished! You’re welcome!
Some of the boys made their own workout…500 double unders, 800 meter run, 25 sit ups, 25 pull ups, 25 burpees, 50 double unders…yeeowch!
Tom also made his own WOD: “Grave digger Grace”:
30x Virtual Shoveling, Grace, 30x Virtual Shoveling…dig the grave, put the body in, bury it…Very Cool!
Joey hit up a main site WOD…and crushed it…

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

Way to rock this workout, Mike!
Another great day of getting Fit at CFNH! See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
“Karen”
150 Wall Ball Shots (20#/10#) to a 10′ target
For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for time.
30x each leg box switch taps
20x each leg weighted box step ups
10x each arm see saw press
Post time to comments or www.crossfitleaderboard.com
This was a pretty cool invention from Kris, switch taps balance on the ball of the foot, step ups balance and press through the heel, stabilize and press…plus…go as fast as you can! Fantastic!
New gal Lucy on the switch taps…
Michelle on the box step ups…
Greg on the see saw press…
Peanuts on the floor! Clare always has the best expressions!
Awesome job on the split taps, Kathy!!!
Marcos making it up for another step up!

Post times to comments.
This was a great one, a nice short (or relatively short…) burner of a workout! Just jump in there and get it on!
We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?
Saturday’s WOD:
Overhead Squat
5-5-5-5-5
Post loads to comments.
After a particularly awesome Friday Night Happy Hour (a bunch of us did “Fight Gone Bad”) we changed it up and did some technique work on the overhead squat. Fantastic!!!

Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…

12 Pull Ups

Next stop, Cirque du Soleil!
First night in, and already swinging that Kettlebell overhead like a pro!
Awesome job, Leah! That’s incredible!!!!! When Leah started less than 6 months ago, she was no where close to doing a pull up (sorry Leah, you know it’s true!) Now look at her! She can probably do 20 pull ups in a row…and this sweet little move!
Thanks for all the cool photos, Adele!
See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!
[wpvideo Ce4KHHGN]
Wednesday’s WOD:

That means we have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday! We’re growing…ready to come grow with us?

Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.

30x each leg box switch taps
20x each leg weighted box step ups
10x each arm see saw press

This was a pretty cool invention from Kris, switch taps balance on the ball of the foot, step ups balance and press through the heel, stabilize and press…plus…go as fast as you can! Fantastic!
New gal Lucy on the switch taps…
Michelle on the box step ups…
Greg on the see saw press…
Peanuts on the floor! Clare always has the best expressions!

We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?
Saturday’s WOD:
Overhead Squat
5-5-5-5-5
Post loads to comments.
After a particularly awesome Friday Night Happy Hour (a bunch of us did “Fight Gone Bad”) we changed it up and did some technique work on the overhead squat. Fantastic!!!

It’s the end of June, that means our June Memberships Specials are about to go the way of the Buffalo and the Globo Gym…that’s right, they’ll be gone soon…if you haven’t picked one up yet, Jump On It!!! What better time to get in the best shape of your life than right now? Plus, there’s great people, an awesome environment, and the best Fitness Program on the planet…
So yeah, what are you waiting for?

Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…

First night in, and already swinging that Kettlebell overhead like a pro!
Awesome job, Leah! That’s incredible!!!!! When Leah started less than 6 months ago, she was no where close to doing a pull up (sorry Leah, you know it’s true!) Now look at her! She can probably do 20 pull ups in a row…and this sweet little move!
Thanks for all the cool photos, Adele!
See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!
[wpvideo Ce4KHHGN]
Wednesday’s WOD:

That means we have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday! We’re growing…ready to come grow with us?

[wpvideo DgusdVpm]
And just another cool video that I thought I’d share…pretty awesome!
[wpvideo 1vcnbJWq]
Hey everyone…trying to relay updates as often as I can.
The quest for the 2009 Fittest Man and Woman on the Planet has begun, with a 7.1km steep trail run (see video below).
Our own Kris Clever came in 4th place. There are 5 events today.
Her next event is a series of 20 deadlifts, starting at 185#, and going up to 375#, in 10# increments. The event starts in reverse order of your finish of event 1, so she gets some rest (not too much though).
Try and keep ya’ll posted!
That’s right. After the brutal deadlift workout, our own Kris Clever deadlifted 305#. That puts her after the first 2 events in 3rd place!
Kris on the 170 meter hill run with 100 foot incline and 35# sand bag. She finished 24th in this WOD, and is now an amazing 11th overall!
Big thanks to CrossFit North Hollywooder Daniel & the rest of our crew up there supporting our awesome gym and having a blast! Thanks for all the updates!
That’s right! Kris is in 6th after 4 events, she came in 13th in the 4th WOD! Fantastic!!!
She has one more event to do today (dang), and that’s a 3 round WOD of 30x Wall Ball, and 30x Snatch…if she end up top 16 overall, she advances to Sunday’s portion of the competition with 3 more WOD’s…

Leah, PR at 193#!!!!

It was an awesome night. I wish I had photos of everyone, but everyone was just smashing their old limits so quickly that I needed about 4 cameras just to keep up…and that’s a good thing!
See you all Friday!
CrossFit North Hollywood is very proud to announce we are part of the CrossFit community’s “CrossFit Risk Retention Group”! Thank you to all of our members for helping us get there!

Saturday’s WOD:
“Chelsea”
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
1 round of the above movements every minute for 30 minutes. If you can’t make the minute call, drop 1 rep on each movement until you find the appropriate scaling.
Photos from Friday’s ‘Happy Hour WOD’s’: PS…this was soooo much fun!!!
Lenny hitting another pull up on his way to finishing ‘Fran’!
New guy Colombus recovers from another pull up…after he finished he said this was the hardest workout he’s ever finished! You’re welcome!

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

That’s right. After the brutal deadlift workout, our own Kris Clever deadlifted 305#. That puts her after the first 2 events in 3rd place!
Kris on the 170 meter hill run with 100 foot incline and 35# sand bag. She finished 24th in this WOD, and is now an amazing 11th overall!
Big thanks to CrossFit North Hollywooder Daniel & the rest of our crew up there supporting our awesome gym and having a blast! Thanks for all the updates!
That’s right! Kris is in 6th after 4 events, she came in 13th in the 4th WOD! Fantastic!!!
She has one more event to do today (dang), and that’s a 3 round WOD of 30x Wall Ball, and 30x Snatch…if she end up top 16 overall, she advances to Sunday’s portion of the competition with 3 more WOD’s…
Hey everyone!
Kris is in 6th place in the 2009 CrossFit Games going into the last day of competition. Only 16 males and 16 females made it into the last day out of over 150 qualified athletes from around the world. SoCal had lots of great performances today, but we are proud to say that our own Kris is the only female (one male, David Millar, CrossFit Marina) from the SoCal region to qualify for the final 16. Congrats Kris!!!
She’s in 6th place, after posting a 3rd place finish in the 5th WOD of the day: 3 rounds for time, 30 squat snatches, 30 wall ball…yikes!
Get some rest, we’ll be cheering you on tomorrow!!!

See you all Friday!
CrossFit North Hollywood is very proud to announce we are part of the CrossFit community’s “CrossFit Risk Retention Group”! Thank you to all of our members for helping us get there!

Saturday’s WOD:
“Chelsea”
5 pull ups
10 push ups
15 squats
1 round of the above movements every minute for 30 minutes. If you can’t make the minute call, drop 1 rep on each movement until you find the appropriate scaling.
Photos from Friday’s ‘Happy Hour WOD’s’: PS…this was soooo much fun!!!
Lenny hitting another pull up on his way to finishing ‘Fran’!
New guy Colombus recovers from another pull up…after he finished he said this was the hardest workout he’s ever finished! You’re welcome!
Some of the boys made their own workout…500 double unders, 800 meter run, 25 sit ups, 25 pull ups, 25 burpees, 50 double unders…yeeowch!

Recovering while the others are running…
I ended up doing this WOD with everyone, so there aren’t many pictures, except for this awesome Sweat Angel!
Great weekend everyone! See you all Monday for Part 2 of our Pull Up Challenge…and a new challenge!
Monday’s WOD:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Heavy Snatch!
This is a really awesome workout if you haven’t done it. It doesn’t appear to be much on paper (and who is writing anything on paper anymore anyways?)…but to perform the snatch properly, aka the fastest lift in the world, it takes a large combination of CrossFit’s 10 skill and fitness domains. All of that wrapped up in one explosive and powerful movement. By the end you’re wondering why you’re covered in sweat and ‘all you’ve been doing is single rep lifts’…well if ya don’t know, then now ya know!
From the ground and into the hang …and extend the hips and start to flip the arms over…
Then get under that bar…Take it to the bottom of the squat…
And stand it up!
Who can do olympic lifts? Everyone…
Even new guy Matt learned to do this on his first day!
Yeah, no matter what we do, it will WORK YOU!!!
See you all Tuesday for something completely different.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for Time.
7x 135/95# Thruster
15x Pull Ups
200 Meter Medicine Ball Run
Post times to comments.
This workout was pretty hard/awesome. Plus, we had an 800 meter medicine ball Indian run warm up…good times. We’re just trying to make sure that we’re not lying when we say ‘You’re Workout is Our Warm Up’!
Yes, it is a warm-up. Yes, it is awesome. Yes, you can do it if you want to!
Then some Med Ball Sprints. Why? Why not!
Working on the bottom of the Over Head Squat…
And onto the Work Out!!!
Great job, Rachel!
Josh said that 135# Thrusters were too light…why not 155#! Yeah, we can accommodate that too!
Keleigh came in 1st place today in the WOD, partly because she completely got after it on the Med Ball Sprints! Great job girl, your hard work and consistency have been paying off!
Tyler partnered with Josh, so he decided to go up and hit the 155# Thruster too. You just don’t have that type off motivation when you’re on your own working out…but in here, anything is possible!
Great job, Simon!
You may ask ‘Why?’ Eventually I’ll ask ‘Why Not’!
The ever growing 5:30 class proved just as fun!
Lenny’s been hitting up the Thrusters a lot lately…and it shows in his improved form and work capacity!
Way to rock it, Padriac!!!
Steven coming out of the bottom of the Thruster…
and Carly finding the top!
New guy Matt did amazing on his first of many, many WOD’s with us!
Dinos rocked the 8pm class tonight. No matter when you drop in, there’s a group of cool people ready to sweat with you!
We just keep going, and going, and going…Awesome post WOD flop!
And finish up with a little bit of L-Sit Holds…Yeah, it was another Great Night at CrossFit North Hollywood!
If you’ve been watching the site lately and itching to drop us a line but a little nervous…now’s the time!
Email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com for your complimentary 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit session!
It’s time to get FIT!!!!

Harder than it looks…try it!
Even harder…
Awesome job!
At the top of the single arm kettlebell snatch!
Way to rock this workout, Mike!
Another great day of getting Fit at CFNH! See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
“Karen”
150 Wall Ball Shots (20#/10#) to a 10′ target
For Time
Post times to comments.
It’s always the workouts that don’t seem like much…
We did this workout about 2 months ago…and saw some huge improvements in the scores and new PR’s (Personal Records) everywhere.
Measuring your fitness level is an integral part of CrossFit. We’re constantly tracking your progress to make sure you reach your goals…and I think it’s working!
Load, extend, release, recover! The stages of wall ball.
Fantastic!
And a little finisher…another great day of CrossFit!
See ya’ll Tuesday!
And don’t forget our new classes starting the second week of July:
As our family grows, so do our classes…
Wednesday, July 8, 6pm class!
Thursday, July 9, 12:30pm class!
We’re also about to start another Saturday class. Stay tuned for details!
What’s Up CrossFit North Hollywooders (and future CFNHer’s!)?
A couple of quick announcements for you all.
First, and definitely most important…The 2009 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA are coming up Saturday & Sunday July 11 & 12th.
As you all know our Head Trainer Kris is competing. She is 1 of the top 75 CrossFit women in the world competing for the title of The Fittest Woman on the Planet. In all there are 152 male and female competitors from every corner of the globe. If you’re interested in going, GO! We’re definitely going to be there, so you should too. To buy tickets to this awesome event click on the image:
Secondly, for those of you that are interested in getting your CrossFit Level 1 Certification, there will be one in Huntington Beach, CA, on September 19 & 20. This is definitely the closest one that will come for a long time, and you should know by now they sell out very, very quickly. So at least put your deposit down and reserve your spot!
Thirdly, starting in July we’re adding 2 more classes to the schedule. Both of these times have proved very popular, so we’re gonna give you more of what you like!
Starting Wednesday July 8 we’re adding a Wednesday @ 6pm class.
Starting Thursday July 9 we’re adding a Thursday @ 12:30pm class.
This means that we’ll have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday (either 5:30pm or 6pm).
Pretty awesome, huh! And we couldn’t have expanded to this many classes this quickly without all of your help. Thank you for all of your hard work, group encouragement during the workouts, and of course, SWEAT!
If you have questions, either post them to comments, or email us at CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.
Tuesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for time.
30x each leg box switch taps
20x each leg weighted box step ups
10x each arm see saw press
Post time to comments or www.crossfitleaderboard.com
This was a pretty cool invention from Kris, switch taps balance on the ball of the foot, step ups balance and press through the heel, stabilize and press…plus…go as fast as you can! Fantastic!
New gal Lucy on the switch taps…
Michelle on the box step ups…
Greg on the see saw press…
Peanuts on the floor! Clare always has the best expressions!
Awesome job on the split taps, Kathy!!!
Marcos making it up for another step up!
One more rep!!!
Fantastic, Leonard!
Great job, Ana!!!
See you all Wednesday for something completely different!
Wednesday’s WOD:
5 Rounds for time.
30x Double Unders
30x Sit Ups
30x Squats
Post times to comments.
This was a great one, a nice short (or relatively short…) burner of a workout! Just jump in there and get it on!
We’ve also been talking a lot about nutrition lately…check out this video from one of the top CrossFit athletes in the world, Josh Everett, about what he eats in a day. Everyone’s diet is different, and I’m sure there’s lots to learn from this incredible athlete!
[wpvideo BOtIKsQX] Thursday’s WOD:Tabata
Deadlifts (Body weight) & Push Press (95/65#)
Post lowest scored round of each movement to comments and crossfitleaderboard.com
A Tabata is a measurement of time: 8 rounds, 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest. Your score is the lowest number of reps you do in any one of those rounds…Don’t bonk!
Awesome job, ladies!
The boys are working hard too!
See you all Friday for Happy Hour WOD’s!!!
What will you choose? How far will you push yourself?
Saturday’s WOD:
Overhead Squat
5-5-5-5-5
Post loads to comments.
After a particularly awesome Friday Night Happy Hour (a bunch of us did “Fight Gone Bad”) we changed it up and did some technique work on the overhead squat. Fantastic!!!

Finally, I’ve been visiting some CrossFit gyms around the country this week. Hitting up some awesome workouts with more very cool people. On Monday I visited CrossFit Central, in Texas. They were a ton of fun, and so was the WOD. One of their members asked me if CrossFit gyms were the same everywhere I’ve gone. I told her that while each gym is a little different, the one thing that I’ve always noticed is how great every CrossFitter I’ve met was.
It’s true. Don’t belive me? Come on in or schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro Session and find out why CrossFit is different than anything you’ve ever done before!
A cool Video our Friends at CrossFit Central made…

Wednesday’s WOD:
“Helen”
3 Rounds for time
400 meter run
21 Kettlebell Swings (53/35#)
12 Pull Ups
Post times to comments.
Next stop, Cirque du Soleil!
First night in, and already swinging that Kettlebell overhead like a pro!
Awesome job, Leah! That’s incredible!!!!! When Leah started less than 6 months ago, she was no where close to doing a pull up (sorry Leah, you know it’s true!) Now look at her! She can probably do 20 pull ups in a row…and this sweet little move!
Thanks for all the cool photos, Adele!
See you all Thursday for something completely different!
Monday’s WOD:
Skill = Clean & Jerk.
The Work Out = The July Challenge. (Ever literally lifted a ton?!)
Take your body weight, and attempt to clean and jerk that amount until the reps add up to 3000# for men, and 2000# for women.
For example, if you are a 200# male, you would try to Clean & Jerk 200# 15 times (200 x 15 = 3000). If that’s too heavy, scale it down, but the weight should still add up to 3000/2000#, you’ll just do more reps.
Congrats, now you’ve lifted a ton!
We’ve recorded everyone’s times and weights for this WOD, so now in the beginning of August we’ll try it again and see how much CrossFit North Hollywooder’s have improved!
[wpvideo Ce4KHHGN]
Wednesday’s WOD:
For time.
21-18-15-12-9-6-3
Front Squat (185/125#)
Knees – to – Elbows
Post times to comments.
How’s everyone walking today? Yeah, I’m not walking so hot either. But still, a great effort from everyone!
For those of you that don’t remember, we’ve started our Wednesday @ 6pm class yesterday, and today we start our Thursday @ 12:30pm class. That means we have a 12:30 class every weekday, and an early evening class every weekday! We’re growing…ready to come grow with us? Contact us now to schedule your Free 1 on 1 Personal Intro to CrossFit session!

Finally, the CrossFit Games are here. Wanna check out what type of fun/pain our Head Trainer Kris is in for this weekend?
[wpvideo DgusdVpm]
And just another cool video that I thought I’d share…pretty awesome!
[wpvideo 1vcnbJWq]
Hey everyone…trying to relay updates as often as I can.
The quest for the 2009 Fittest Man and Woman on the Planet has begun, with a 7.1km steep trail run (see video below).
Our own Kris Clever came in 4th place. There are 5 events today.
Her next event is a series of 20 deadlifts, starting at 185#, and going up to 375#, in 10# increments. The event starts in reverse order of your finish of event 1, so she gets some rest (not too much though).
Try and keep ya’ll posted!
That’s right. After the brutal deadlift workout, our own Kris Clever deadlifted 305#. That puts her after the first 2 events in 3rd place!
Kris on the 170 meter hill run with 100 foot incline and 35# sand bag. She finished 24th in this WOD, and is now an amazing 11th overall!
Big thanks to CrossFit North Hollywooder Daniel & the rest of our crew up there supporting our awesome gym and having a blast! Thanks for all the updates!
That’s right! Kris is in 6th after 4 events, she came in 13th in the 4th WOD! Fantastic!!!
She has one more event to do today (dang), and that’s a 3 round WOD of 30x Wall Ball, and 30x Snatch…if she end up top 16 overall, she advances to Sunday’s portion of the competition with 3 more WOD’s…
Hey everyone!
Kris is in 6th place in the 2009 CrossFit Games going into the last day of competition. Only 16 males and 16 females made it into the last day out of over 150 qualified athletes from around the world. SoCal had lots of great performances today, but we are proud to say that our own Kris is the only female (one male, David Millar, CrossFit Marina) from the SoCal region to qualify for the final 16. Congrats Kris!!!
She’s in 6th place, after posting a 3rd place finish in the 5th WOD of the day: 3 rounds for time, 30 squat snatches, 30 wall ball…yikes!
Get some rest, we’ll be cheering you on tomorrow!!!
Been wondering what all the fuss is about?
Now keep in mind, this is the elite of the elite…this event is designed to see who the Fittest people in the world are, so it must be incredibly grueling.
We do much of the same stuff…just scaled down for most people…but the method of CrossFit is the same:
Constantly Varied (yes), Functional Movements (yes), Performed at relative High Intensity (yes).
[wpvideo eGTqj7cs]
Day 2’s events are:
1 rep max Snatch
8 minute AMRAP: 4 Hand Stand Push Ups, 8 72/54# KB Swing, 12 GHD Sit Ups
And a Chipper (1 time through of various crazy movements)!
Kris Clever takes 4th place at the 2009 CrossFit Games…meaning she is the 4th Fittest Woman in the World! Fantastic!
She ended up tied for 3rd, but lost a tie-breaker. Lots of great CrossFit athletes from around the world, and it truly is an honor to be a part of this competition, and have our gym a part of the CrossFit world-wide community!
8 WOD’s over 2 days…and on the last day she out scored everyone!
Congrats Kris, we are so proud of you!

Monday’s WOD:
“Angie”
100 Pull Ups
100 Push Ups
100 Sit Ups
100 Squats
Post times to comments.
Angie is a little different type of a beast. You must complete your 100 pull ups (or how ever many you decide to scale it down to) before you can begin your push ups, and so on…yeah, your muscles are going to be a hurting! And yeah, you know you like it…
New gals Lindsay and Melina jamming through their push ups…’real’ push ups too!
Here’s a really cool video of the final workout at the CrossFit Games. This WOD is enough to put anyone on their butt, and these people did this after 7 previous workouts over 2 days…Fittest athletes in the World? You betcha.
