The Box.  Clean and Jerk.  WOD.  AMRAP.  It is so easy to become addicted to the world of Crossfit.  Crossfitters have their own lingo, diet methodologies, workout perscriptions, and a way of life that constantly encourages one to shatter their perceived limitations.  Crossfit makes people strong, healthy, increases confidence, and the commeraddere found among athletes is second to none.  Life ‘in the box’ is one filled full of achievement and positivity, with people becoming better every single day.  

How can you NOT get addicted to this sport?

With all the positive aspects of Crossfit, we sometimes forget there is sport and fitness fun to be had outside the confines of our gym.  We consider ourselves Crossfit Athletes.  We start focusing on individual WOD times, max weights, and PRs, while the day-to-day practical applications of Crossfit in other areas of life get overlooked.   

All those box jumps, squats, and sit-ups are great, but you’re not going to notice how much your skiing has improved since introducing Crossfit if you’ve completely thrown hitting the slopes to the wayside.  Sprints and power cleans are awesome, but when was the last time you picked up a basketball and checked your speed and vertical jump in a game of one-on-one?

Crossfit Vallejo wants you to see how your Crossfit skills transition outside of the box.  At least one Saturday a month we are going to take you on a fitness adventure.  These field trip WODs are not about PRs, times, or weights, but rather the application of your Crossfit skills in different sports and activities.  It's a chance for you to try a new sport, or revisit an old favorite, and see how your Crossfit training applies in a broader spectrum.  Best of all, these field trip WODs are going to be fun way to change things up while getting your sweat on!

Ready for a hint?  Our first fitness field trip WOD involves water, Vallejo, something you've already practiced in the gym during team WODs, and doesn't necessarily require a swimsuit.  Any guesses?

We'll let you know the final details as the date draws closer.  Can't wait for you to see just how practical your Crossfit training is for all types of sport and adventure!
