Come Join Us!

Join us this Saturday and be a part of the awesome and growing Crossfit community we have here in sunny Santa Barbara. At 12pm, we will be meeting in front of the main entrance of UCSB's Rec Center. As always, our workouts are suitable for everyone, regardless of experience, fitness level, or age. Shoot me an email if you have any questions. See you there!

The workouts I post everyday here on this site are programmed to tax even the most elite and conditioned of athletes. Most of us cannot and should not be using the weights I post up. It also might be useful for some of us to reduce the number of reps and number of rounds suggested in the workouts. If you want some ideas on how to scale down these workouts, check out Crossfit's FAQ HERE. If you can do the workout as recommended, then that is great, but please modify it to your level of fitness. If you can't find an idea on how to modify a workout from the link above, just post the question in the comments below.
