Limestone Athletics

Here’s what we’re working on this month at Limestone Athletics:

Summer Running: We’re taking advantage of the summer days with continued running work. Expect a blend shorter and longer distances to build endurance while enjoying the sunshine.

Back Squat Testing: It is time to test your back squat strength. This is a chance to see where you are at, apply what you have built, and set a new benchmark for the coming months.

Olympic Lifting Waves: We are shifting our Olympic lifting focus from snatches to the clean and jerk. This month’s waves will help you develop power, timing, and confidence through the full lift.

See you at the gym!

Saturdays are for Partner Workouts at Limestone. Sign up with your favourite WOD person, lift some heavy weight, sweat and fist bump at the end.

See you in the gym!

Meet Tara!
A full-time Labour & Delivery nurse, wife of 29 years, and mom of three grown kids, Tara started CrossFit at Limestone Athletics in January 2025 inspired by her friend and former nursing mentee, Sylvia.

Since then, CrossFit has changed her life. It’s shown her she’s capable of far more than she imagined and taught her that health and fitness aren’t about a specific size, but about feeling strong and confident.

Lately she’s celebrating handstand progress, chasing pull-ups, and happily showing up to workouts with movements like dumbbell snatches and single-unders. However, she would be voting to ban thrusters, burpees, and wall balls if she could.
