CrossFit's newly found relationship with Reebok. What do you think? You may not even know what that relationship is but give your 2 cents anyways. What does this mean for the sport? What does it mean for affiliates?
Post your insightful thoughts to comments.
Huge group of 19 6amers!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
Merry Christmas, all.
Re: Reebok - not surprising. Crossfit is getting bigger and bigger, and corporate sponsorship of this type follows suit. With it comes good stuff, and potential for not-so-good stuff, just like anything else in life.
17:33 Rx'd (252# on DL). 9 days down seemed to go very quickly and then you hit the 10th and start to notice it. By the second time through on day 11, I definitely noticed! I took my time on DL from the beginning even though it was only one rep and felt good throughout. I also noted that on pullups I wasn't wasting an extra swing before doing my first one so hopefully this sticks with me in other wods where pullups are involved.
Great work 6 a.m.!!! Good to see Mike back for the holidays too!
Also, I think the relationship with Reebok is a good thing. More exposure for CrossFit means more spreading of CrossFit.
17:50 - jumping pull-ups. I agree that day 11 was terrible and totally kicked my butt.
Big class this morning. Great work by everyone!
Love all the comments the past few days. Especially from all those that use to comment. Paul, always like to read what you are doing on the road.
Merry Christmas everyone. Be safe if you are traveling.
Reebok-CF was bound to get a sponsor sooner of later. It will mean the sport will become much more professional. It should help affiliates get members. I think you are going to see more professional type athletes and not as many will come from the regular affiliates because they will be training at a higher level. Which I think is going to be the downside to CF getting professional.
Merry Crossfit-Mas.
Be safe everyone--see you next week!

My thoughts on going corporate: More money and awareness for the sport and discipline. It is great to see it embraced by the fitness culture and have the funding from a big apparel company to take it to the next level. It ultimately means changes though. Big, commercialized, mass-marketed events, new products and spokespeople will introduce the sport to so many new people and gyms will get bigger and new competition will enter in to the market (both business and athlete). So for those who embrace change and evolve with it; it is fun to see it morph and grow. Those whom are apprehensive to changes or enjoy being early adaptors of innovation will develop a new discipline to bring into vogue. And the cycle will continue.
If they start choreographing WOD to Pink “Get this Party Started”…I’m out.
I wonder if we were to do our WODs wearng the Reebok Easy Tones if it would make us even more fit?! Lol! It was only time that a big sponser was going to come in. Hopefully it doest change for the worse.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
I am going to start to post on here as well it will hold me accountable and I can keep track as well.
100 Burpees - 5:20
Did 2 extra at the end cuz im pretty sure i missed counted in there somewhere.
Not sure if I will do todays cuz I have been moving this morning and thats a workout in itself.
Rebook CrossFit - I don't know what to think. I like it and I don't. It will take aways from its roughness of a garage gym feel, but it will ultimately give more people a chance to do whats best for their body, exercise. I just want people to become healthy fit individuals and CrossFit is the best way to do that so I hope this will help change the way people view fitness on a wider scale.
Rebook and CrossFit
Kinda like -
Wal-Mart and Paleo Snacks
Something doesn't sound right? Anyone?
Well whatever gets this country doing CrossFit Im all for it!
1st - Grace Re-Test - Old PR 1:59
- 135# - Power Catches - 1:52
** Did the first 20 unbroken but had to regrip then did 4, 3, 1,1,1
Rested (well currently resting) 30 mins
2nd - Lifting -
Going to Front Squat
Then Hamstring/Lower Back - Low Rep
Core Work and Inverted Row - High Rep
3rd - Tonight - 2 mile run
Ill post times and weights tonight... A good start to the day.. My hamstrings and shoulder took grace pretty hard...
12:47 - I did my damnedest to keep Stacie and Reba in the corner of my eye and to try to keep up, but I should have known better. Med ball cleans get me every time.
Then had to rush back to work without my customary cool-down/heckling time. A sweaty, hungry drive with the windows down. 11 hours after breakfast, I'm just now getting to "lunch." Luckily, Dodge was backed up from 102nd to 680 and I was forced to detour to Maple and pick up a pound of brisket from Hartland.
(note: I will mention carnivory in every post until I beat BC's deadlift.)
135 185 225 245 261 which I think is a 3RM PR or pretty damn close
Stiff legged DL.. Standing on 6 inch elevation.. 3X8 205#
Ab roll outs 2X12
Inverted row 2X15
I wanted 6am to break out a Christmas carol in class, Kyle was on board, but we just listened to Christmas music during the workout instead. Loved that. Noon wasn't as open to it. Big groups and a fun workout, good day.
Addi, thanks for noticing! I have been tidying up the dumbbells. And I have to say, I second your comment with a people-can't-put-them-back-properly undertone. :)
Reebok and CrossFit... As with EVERYTHING there are definitely pro's and con's. I will outline my top reasons.
PRO-Spread CrossFit to the masses. As we all know, this is by far the most legit form of exercise; leading to a healthy lifestyle. And as we all (should) know people need more of in our US of A.
CON-More CrossFit's to me equals a very large chance of a lot of low-quality coaches/instruction. There are already quite a few "CrossFitters" I have seen with less-than-desireable technique and range of motion and I would foresee that getting a lot worse. This con leads to another idea: Is crappy CrossFit better than no CrossFit? Probably. Just as any exercise is better than no exercise. You just are at a higher risk for injury with less knowledge and instruction... In summary, you take the good, you take the bad and there you have, the facts of life. (I shouldn't know that phrase/theme song).
On another note, made it to my original home, North Platte. And just watched my mom do our own version of "12 Days of Christmas" in our living room. My dad had it done when I got here. My brother (Logan - a regular this summer) is about to do it in the driveway. Yes, it's 25 degrees here, he's a BA. Spread the love, CrossFit is good.
Loved the WOD today, even though it did kick my butt! Finished in 20:47, was feeling a little barfy this morning so I'm just glad I finished it!
As for Reebok and Crossfit, I pretty much agree with what most people are saying, could be a great thing but we will see I guess!
Great work at 4:30!! Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
