20 minutes here, 10 minutes there. Everybody loves a start time, right? While we don’t currently have an EXACT start date, we are hoping to be back in a matter of weeks. That means smaller classes, a little more patience for cleaning and sanitizing and definitely more of my sing-songs for washing hands. Did I mention the arrows and signs on the floors? There is no normal. There might be a new normal, but isn’t it easier just to say “this is currently how it is.” Change is hard, but we keep rolling. See you Saturday for the Burpee Hour at 10am! Location is mapped out on the Member group page. Text 209-345-4380 with any issues.

We will begin to get back into some heavy squatting. If you don’t have something heavy or a rack, the front squat is fine, If you don’t have something super heavy, you can lower your body slowly – like a 4 count – and explode out of the squat. The workout is from CrossFit.com. So is the empty chamber workout – it’s from .com years ago. I’m sure it turns up now and again. Might be a fun games workout.

I know I asked for thoughts on Burpees for an hour… not a ton of feedback. We added in burgers and got better responses! Saturday’s WOD will start with a warmup around 10am and then after we calm ourselves down from an hour of burpees, we can get to go orders from Gillman’s Classic Drive In! They will be generously opening their doors on a Saturday to get love and give love. Even if you hate burpees, you probably love a fry, milkshake and a burger. I will post their menu tomorrow. Probably best to preorder, and then it can be ready for pickup around 11:45am or you can swing on by after. Gillman’s Classic Drive In is family owned and run, by the parents of the Dale’s Pony CrossFit Commune of the DeGraff/Austin Family. Please check out the event on Facebook and RSVP. You can do burpees ANYWHERE with...Read more

We are sorry to hear over the past few days of two CrossFit gyms in the Central Valley closing permanently. Both CrossFit Quake and CrossFit Parabellum have been around for a very long time. We have shared competitions, Opens, and general CrossFit life with both of them and are saddened by this news. We truly appreciate those who have stood by us during this time. Thank you. Your support is keeping our currently shuttered doors metaphorically open. For those of you continuing on this journey with us, O2 Recovery, Born Primitive, Bear Komplex and Puori are offering a combined $100 gift card to all members who keep their memberships active through the entire month of May. Continue to use the RECOVERY2140 code at checkout. There are some great deals with these companies. We thank them and you for your generosity.

Tuesday at 6pm we will be having another outdoor workout – same place – bring your same equipment. Check out the Facebook group for more info. Please let us know if you can make it! We are lucky to have partnered with the Jones Candle Co., from right here in Oakdale. Here’s my pitch – I know in the beginning when there seemed to be nothing to do, a lot of cleaning was going on. Now – maybe we don’t clean as much. I have three teenage boys and while they have their chores during this time, they are NOT getting up at 7am to get ready for school. If you are in the same boat, if you need some good smells, ENTER THIS CONTEST! Take a picture of cleaning – dumbbell, barbell or house and tag @crossfitoakdale and @jonescandleco on instagram and you will be entered to win a...Read more
