Pretty dang good Nezir! And look at those elbows…almost parallel to the ground! That’s gonna make for a big squat clean!
New guy Nick did awesome on his first class! And how could he not with focus like that!
So first of all, we have 2 JP’s in our gym. Second of all, they HAVE TO partner together. New Nickname Convention results:

Other than a tan, it would be hard to improve on this awesome photo of Greg getting to the top of a 225# Sumo Deadlift High Pull!
I wish I could say I was being clever and wanted to take a foggy photo that would resemble how unclear everything seems during the 150 Burpee WOD, but really…the battery ran out on the Gym camera and this was on the old iPhone.
Still, awesome job, Mark!
You too, Abraham!

Hey CFNHers!
October was an awesome month of getting ‘Fit at CFNH…but November is here and we are CrossFitting at full speed!
1. New SUNDAY CrossFit Class!
As our gym keeps growing, patient so do our class schedule! We are very excited to announce the addition of our first regular Sunday class (warm up, skill, & wod). We’re adding a Sunday 4:30pm class starting next Sunday, November 15, 2009.
Extra classes will not only help our growing family get CrossFit, but will also enable those of you who love the 3 on 1 off CrossFit schedule.
The class will be run by our newest Coach, Coach Tyler. Coach Tyler’s done a great job the last 3 months as a Coach in Training and we’re excited to have him take off the training wheels!
Look forward to another Sunday addition soon as well…stay tuned!
2. October Nutritional Challenge Results!
Our October Nutritional Challenge was a huge success! We had many athletes reach their goals, and even more surpass what they thought was possible in just 1 month. Big thanks to our resident Nutritionists Leah & Laura. For an awesome November challenge (Paleovember), please visit www.paleoblocks.com
3. Giving Back!
We are also giving back this month! We’ve been so fortunate with all the positive changes in 2009, that this November we are hosting a canned food drive! Please bring in your canned food to the gym any time before Thanksgiving and we’ll get it set up to be donated. We’re also in the final stages of setting up a night to feed the homeless at a local shelter. Stay tuned for further details.
4. Our Monthly and End of The Year Challenge!!!
Have you ever noticed when the holidays get going most people tend to let all the hard work they completed the previous 10 months of the year go to waste, only to have to start over at square one in January? Well at CrossFit North Hollywood we’re going to help you stay ahead of the curve!!!
Our Monthly and End of The Year Challenge is to see how many of our awesome athletes can commit to doing 2 WOD’s a week at the gym! 2 WOD’s a week, that doesn’t sound like much. Well for many of you it may not be…but for others that may be a huge hurdle. Everyone can come to the Monthly Challenge Board and write how many classes you will attend at minimum each week for the rest of the year. Maybe 2, maybe 6? Start your New Years Resolution off this November at CFNH and be a whole new you by January 1!!!!! That’s the CrossFit way!
5. Try out your first class!
So you’ve been hearing all this great stuff…people getting Fit and having a great time doing it. You’re wondering, when should I get started…and HOW should I get started?
Waiting until the New Year is sooo 2008. Get Fit NOW!
We have 2 ways to get people started this November at CFNH.
You can try out any of our popular ‘Level 1 CrossFit’ classes for just $10, or our ‘All Levels CrossFit’ classes for just $20. When you become a member we’ll apply that towards any membership you choose!
Or, you can contact us for a FREE 1 on 1 intro to CrossFit. It takes just 30 minutes, and will leave you with no doubt whether CrossFit can help you achieve all of your fitness goals. CrossFitNoHo@gmail.com.
See you all this week at CrossFit North Hollywood!

Afternoon Deadlifts…look at all those flat backs & neutral spines!
Shoulders behind the bar at the top!
Great job, Reyna!
Frank’s starting to throw some weight around!
At CFNH you can deadlift a lot…
Or be on your way to lifting a lot! Great job Cristina!
Awesome job on ‘Helen’…”now I didn’t have a stop watch with me, but I’m pretty sure it was under a minute!”
This wasn’t part of the WOD…but it’s fun to play around after class!
Todd’s helping the Level 1 Class get their Deadlift on…and is getting STRONG doing it!
Seriously…Everyone Should Deadlift!
Mother/Daughter Ring Rows! That is seriously too cool!
And now for the ‘light weight’ portion of our post…
Muscle Up Mike…good to have you back!
“Was my form Perfect?”
JPizzle’s smiling because not only did his Deadlift get a ton better…but he can finally do full range kipping pull ups…and is now in 4th place on the “Helen” record board!
See what I mean!
Tom is showing a perfect ‘American’ Swing…completely overhead with the KB pointing straight up, ear in front of the arms and biceps next to the head! Fantastic!
Yeah…another great one at CFNH! PR’s everywhere…I’ve got to go in early to redo the record board…and that is a GOOD THING!

Pnutz with a 205# Overhead Squat, I think that’s 30# over his old PR!
Timm PR’d at 185#
Accountability: Holding everyone to standard at CFNH not only helps reduce injuries, but also gives you the best results! Not sure if you’re at full depth on the squat portion of the Thruster…butt ball!
And once you’ve been here for a while, like Daniel, you just KNOW where the bottom is…partly because you don’t want to repeat any more reps!
Coach Jaron helps new guy Neil with the finer points of the Overhead Squat.
Ed did a great job on his OHS…and 1 second earlier I would have had an awesome shot of it!
Awesome Adele! 
Laura, PR, 108#!
