MPLS Bootcamp – Second wave…

CrossFit Minneapolis | CrossFit St. Paul Bootcamp

CFMPLS|CFSP Bootcamps are coming back in July!

NE Minneapolis Location – Tues/Thur, 6:30-7:15am from July 13 - Aug 20; St Anthony Park in NE Minneapolis

St Paul Location – Mon/Wed/Fri, 6:30-7:15am from July 19 – Aug 27; Merriam Park Rec Center

CFMPLS|CFSP bootcamp is for people looking for fast results in a 6-week program. Workouts are short, intense, and fun, and can be scaled to any individual’s physical abilities.

CFMPLS|CFSP bootcamps use the CrossFit methodology of constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity to quickly build strength and endurance while promoting fat loss. This class focuses on bodyweight exercises, high repetition weightlifting movements, and metabolic conditioning without the complex barbell lifts used in regular CrossFit classes.

Rates are $169 for the 18 session St Paul Bootcamp, and $120 for the 12 session Minneapolis Bootcamp.

And what now?

With our recent move across the river, there remains one important question: what should become of our beloved website? I’ve considered a number of different options, though none seem to represent the perfect solution, and I am afraid that I may be running out of ideas. So, I am posing this question to you, yes you, as to how we should go about maintaining www.crossfitminneapolis.com. I’ve considered narrowing the scope of this question, but was concerned that in doing so I might be stunting creativity. All answers will be considered – within reason of course – and I really am open to a number of potential options. What do you people out there in cyber space, some directly associated with this gym, others not, want to see happen here? Health and wellness blog? Open forum for CrossFitters worldwide? Please, post thoughts and ideas to “comments”.

One last WOD…

Mmmmmmmmmm…

Hard to believe it’s already been a year. Thanks to everybody who has helped to make CrossFit Minneapolis what it is today. We have some phenomenal members and I’m looking forward to blending our group with the community down the road.

For tomorrow, there will be one last WOD. It will, as usual on Saturday mornings, be a team WOD. The more the merrier!

Power

JQ - Clean PR (185#)

Complete one clean per minute for as many minutes as possible. You can utilize either the clean, or the power clean in this WOD. Regardless, you must start each lift from the floor. You may fail as many times as is needed before completing a successful rep, just so long as you are able to successfully clean your weight within the one minute time frame. The point of this WOD is to go heavy. Do not choose a weight that you are comfortable with. Work on perfect execution of the movement and efficiency.
