Gymnastics


Ashleigh Miller showing off her balance on the beach

In Crossfit, gymnastics is huge! The ability to maintain control of your own body from all positions is extremely functional and useful for life and sport. There is no parallel for developing upper body strength, core, and balance than gymnastics. Pullups, air squats, handstands, pushups, dips, as well as rope climbs, muscle ups, are some of the most important movements we utilize in our training. Our very own Bill Huffman has been a gymnastics teacher for 13 years! If you have any questions about gymnastics (like about progressing your handstand), he is the one to ask. Shoot him an email at huffyhuff@gmail.com I'm sure he'd love to help you out!

CJ,

Great job on the PR! Today's WOD was a tough one for me. I haven't done these exercises in awhile and it showed.
