New Technology On The Horizon

This week we will announce our New WOD Tracking App. In preparation for that please download the Train Heroic app from the APP Store. It is available in both Android and IOS.

Whole Life Challenge Is Up & Running

There is still time to join in the fun. Join us for the new Whole Life Challenge. It started on Saturday the 16th, and will last until March 11. I think we should be able to build some good habits by then! Register Here.

We will host the Benchmark WOD on Wednesday of this week. This time, we give you a choice of WODs. We offer the traditional WLC WOD which is the 11-minute AMRAP full of body weight movements that can be performed on any street corner, and a new, more challenging CrossFit WOD. Scroll down to preview your choices.

We are upping the ante this time round by offering prizes each week! At the end of the WLC, we offer a cash prize to the overall winner on the Wine Country CrossFit Team. Don’t miss out and sign up NOW!

Back Squats

We have been building to the 20 rep max over the last 5 weeks. This week is the culmination. We have seen amazing gains, and we applaud your hard work. FYI during the last week of January, there will be NO squatting. The workouts will be challenging, but we will de-load as it pertains to squats.
