CrossFit Cove

CrossFit workouts are by definition “constantly varied, functional movements, performed at relatively hard intensity”. This is the magic sauce that has allowed so many of our athletes to find success in all their fitness pursuits.

 

 

 

To start the year, we are going to focus on another movement to help take our fitness to even new levels. Over the coming weeks, we will be working on perfecting our Snatch.

 

There are ten domains of fitness that we look to attack in our programming and are also core to CrossFit’s style of training (cardiovascular endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, accuracy, agility and balance) and nothing hits more of them than the Snatch. It is arguably the most complicated barbell movement we do in the gym but is very much a staple of our program because of its powerful benefits.  We expect our athletes to see tremendous gainss in not only their strength and power but also the mobility, core strength, coordination, balance, agility and body awareness with this training cycle. 

 

We were blown away with the improvements we saw in our most recent cycle and are excited to see what you have in store for us with the upcoming snatch program.

 

NOTE: For those athletes that are dealing with injuries, mobility or struggle with the Snatch in general, we will be offering you alternatives for you in class. At times we will focus on another movement (power cleans for example), accessory movements to allow you to build capacity to snatch or even focus on Power vs. Squat snatches.  Long story short, no matter where you are with your mobility or strength, we will find what’s best for you!

 

 

 

Tomorrow’s Wod

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In lieu of the regular 5:45 class next Friday (12/17), we will be holding our annual Holiday WOD and Potluck STARTING AT 6P.

 

Come on in for a great workout and bring a dish and/or drinks to share. This is one of the best nights at the Cove, so come on in and celebrate the holidays with your fellow Covies! We will maintain a regular schedule the rest of the day and the 12 Days of Christmas WOD will be the workout for all classes.

 

We are BEYOND thrilled that Jamie Renee Lang has agreed to join the coaching staff here at the Cove. Her growth trajectory has been extraordinary, she moves like she’s been doing this CrossFit thing for a decade and she brings a warmth and sense of humor that delivers the best hour of anyone’s day. Making the transition from athlete to coach is always tough, but with her CrossFit Level 1 certification done and her kicking ass on the regular in the gym, she’s more than ready. Make sure to give her some Cove love! For those of you who don’t know her (yet), here’s some background that even those who DO know her might not know! 

 

“What most people don’t know about me is that I grew up in Germany and lived there for 23 years. My whole life I was involved in sports –through high school and even as a young adult. I played soccer, was a gymnast and for many years after that I was a runner and trained in bodybuilding. Outside of fitness I own a salon where I educate people about the newest hair trends and colors techniques. I found CrossFit through the amazing Jessica Shamoo Marx. After many attempts of her trying to convince me to join the Cove I finally did… and I never looked back!! CrossFit has giving me so much happiness and strength (both mentally and physically). Most importantly I love being part of the Cove community. As a coach I feel I can bring my energy and ideas to the Cove and my ultimate goal is to help people enjoy CrossFit as much as I do!
