WoD - Saturday 7th January 2017

A rare Saturday workout posting for you guys. Usually reserved as a special surprise but tomorrow we have a special opportunity to help the wider CrossFit community.

Rachel Park unexpectedly passed away on the 27th of December leaving behind her husband and their 9 month old triplet daughters. They were recently in the news about being home in time for Christmas.
Bill Swampy Moore and CrossFit No Ego are running a fund raising WoD to raise money for their family at this terrible time. 
Please come to the gym and help out, anything that you can give would be very much appreciated. If you can't be there but would like to donate something, please click here

WoD - Monday 12th December 2016

It is extremely difficult to put into words how much of a privilege it was to be a small part of the massively successful feat that Danny Watson undertook this past weekend. 

Witnessing that man continue to battle through inconceivable pain, utterly selflessly, for hours was a truly humbling experience. 

Danny, what you have achieved is second to none. Hold your head high with pride. Rest up brother. I will never forger your conduct that day.
