If you’ve been working out at 6am with Team 6, information pills you may have noticed we’ve gotten a little bigger.  That’s because Russ Van Cleave and Jen have gotten some of Oakdale’s top swimmers into CrossFit Oakdale to get stronger and more balanced.  These kids are Athletes, and they have a ton of room to grow.  But, behind every great athlete is a great coach: Russ was announced Swimming Coach of the Year by the Modesto Bee.

Cheating on Paleo.  I hate the term “cheat” meal, # buy even though I use the term.  Oh, buy and I do “cheat”.  I like the concept that cheating implies deception, and I am fully aware of my eating decisions. ** There will be no 4:30 class on Wednesday June 20th and Friday June 22nd.** Attention 6am-ers – we will be holding 6am classes at our normally scheduled days: Mon, Wed and Fri.  Tricia will be commanding Team 6 in our absence.  BOOM!
