CrossFit Oakdale will be open on Saturday, # 60mg from 8:30 to 10am.  We will be open for registration, waiver paperwork and other odds and ends.  But it won’t be all boring stuff.  We’ll also be running a WOD, and give you a chance to work off some of those holiday calories.  Depending on attendance and when people roll in, we may run a couple of heats.   We’ve been getting the gym ready, and we have power, but it’s still pretty spartan.  Please bring water and a towel if you want one.  We bought 100 towels, but we can’t seem to find ’em.  But I’m sure they’ll turn up;)  We have received about half of our shipment: we have wall balls, jump ropes, weights and a few kettle bells.  The rest of the shipment is supposed to land next week, and we’ll get barbells and more.  We’re pretty fired...Read more

Hannah W is 12 years old and arrived on the scene about 6 months ago. Her parents CrossFit as well as her younger sister Kate. Hannah is amazing. She competed in the 2011 Barbells for Boobs in October. She was the youngest competitor that day and finished 30 Clean & Jerks in  3:36 at 35#. Here is what she had to say: Hi, illness my name is Hannah Wessling.  I am twelve years old. I started doing CrossFit about six months ago. My coach’s? name is Alison Huberty. One of my favorite things to do is CrossFit. I love doing CrossFit because I like how there is no treadmill or elliptical. I like how there is a new work out or WOD everyday. I like the community because when you show up to CrossFit you get a nice greeting of ?”Hey Hannah! What?s up?!” Or “?We haven?t seen you in...Read more

Soooo, dosage we got a delivery today.  It wasn’t the whole enchilada though, prescription it was a whiteboard and six timers.  We were expecting the Big One, approved and we got the little one.  The shipping company told us tomorrow is the day, so we’re pretty psyched. Power is slow coming, but we hope to have it hooked up next week. We will be at CrossFit Oakdale Saturday from 8:30 to 10am to sign contracts.  If you wear your workout clothes, you may even get to break a sweat.  That’s an actual workout, not just moving stuff. I’m going to try “Smoking Gun” at 4pm. “Smoking from Shooting” by My Morning Jacket Workout of the Day Strength Behind the Neck Jerk Build to a heavy lift, then 1-1-1 at that weight Metcon “Smoking Gun” 7 Rounds for time of: 4 Burpee Deadlifts 3 Burpee Power Cleans 2 Burpee Squat Clean...Read more

CFO saw it’s first true WOD, both in the AM and the PM.  With 100 pull-ups in a WOD, we saw our first “emotional” hand moments.  Just cause the pull-up bar is beautiful doesn’t mean you can’t rip your hands.  We are still sorting out our color scheme, but we hope to get painting real soon. It looks like we will get out major gear delivery tomorrow, but we’ll have to transport it from our house to the gym.  If any of you bad mother truckers want to help us move a couple thousand pounds of gear, hit up Alison on Facebook after she puts out the arrival notice. We got our handmade boxes today (3 of em, with 20, 24 and 30in sides.  They are sweet!).  Tomorrow’s WOD will likely be the last that I do from the house. Workout of the Day AM 3 rounds, not for time...Read more

  The pull-up rig is up and the floors are down!  A serious minded work crew got to work early Saturday, purchase and by Sunday at noon, # buy we turned an empty warehouse into a starter CrossFit gym.  Sure, you have to use the bathroom in the dark, but you can do muscle ups!  HUGE thanks to all the helpers over the weekend!  It was great experience for a guy that has very little when it come to building something like this.   For today’s WOD, I want to test out the structure.  I’ve also been without a pull-up bar for a bit; I think the last serious pull-up WOD I did was OC Throwdown WOD #2, so a big pull-up WOD is needed.  If you want to be a “test subject”, hit me up in the comments section.  We may try this WOD in the dark, with no...Read more
