I know most of you reading this are rather new to the ‘Sport of Fitness’. As you get more involved in CrossFit, what we call ‘getting the bug’, you may find yourself tempted to workout out more often than usual, pushing yourself to even greater levels than once imagined.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by this weekend to lend a hand, we really made some great progress! The boxes came out awesome! A few finishing touches and we’ll be ready to start adding them into the mix this week. To touch on another subject, I’ve been noticing a wide array of footwear being worn by everyone. Believe it or not, footwear really matters when it comes to CrossFitting. At

Hans Selye once said, “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”. A brief explanation of the adaptive changes at the cellular level, caused by CrossFit training, will help you understand how intense CrossFit workouts will result in an improvement of your fitness. We have known for centuries that when the human body is presented with a sub-lethal dose of physical, pyschological, or chemical stress, it can adapt to

Im going to keep this short and sweet. The Bruins are all tied up in game 7 of the Stanley cup playoffs as they head into the third period in just a few. Speaking of hockey, have you ever wondered how fit these guys are? In my opinion, they are in good shape, but pale in comparison to a solid, well rounded CrossFitter! How can I get away saying that

The new schedule is set! Hopefully there is a class time scheduled that will fit everyones busy day. As you may have noticed, there are a lot more beginner classes than anything else. This is self explanatory. As more people start ‘Testing out’ you will start to notice less beginner classes and more ‘regular CrossFit’ classes. Class size will remain capped at 10 until more coaches are available. This is

Whether you are new to CrossFit or not, there will come a time when you will have to question your integrity. It is human nature to want to be better than your peers and finish first. The real question is – did you really out do everyone – or just make everyone believe you did. Here is a great article I came across that gives some great differences between the

At CrossFit Magnitude, we like to think of the community as an extension of our immediate family. This means we love your presence when your working out or just hanging around. Don’t ever think that just because the workout is over, you have to go home.
