Fitness Lab

Good read...

These Are the 25 Golden Rules of Running. Do You Know Them All? A master list of the most universally-accepted truths in running.

As a former CrossFit Affiliate owner, I have a drive and passion to help people reach their fitness goals. With the welcoming of a beautiful daughter came a need to reprioritize time commitments. Owning an affiliate was amazing and one of the best ‘jobs’ ever; however, the time commitment needed for the affiliate to flourish was no longer feasible. I made the difficult decision to close the affiliate and focus on my family. It was a hard decision, but definitely the right decision. That said, now the baby is growing and things have calmed down enough for me to get back to what I love... Helping people!

I’ll be using my fitness knowledge and coaching experience to help with nutritional tips, tricks, guidance, and fitness programming.

That said, given the closure of the CrossFit Chillicothe affiliate, I have changed the name to "Fitness Lab".

I am working on changing the name of the page to reflect the new name, but in the meantime: Welcome to Fitness Lab!

We had a great tribute to MURPH today! Everyone pushed hard and came out alive on the other side.

Drink plenty of water, keep moving, enjoy the rest of the day, and have a great week!

Tomorrow (May 29th, 2017) we'll be doing MURPH at 8am.

If you're in town and want to participate, you're all welcome. Come in and embrace the suck with us.

Not sure if it's for you... let me help. It IS for you. The MURPH experience isn't about RX'ing the workout. It's about coming together with other people to embrace the suck and do what your level of experience allows.

"CrossFitting for Two" is close to becoming a trademarked phrase in our Box.

In a recent post you met resident fitness mama Ann Feltis; this week we want to send another shout out to expectant moms Melanie Loftus and Kristin Porter. Both ladies have been pushing through the first three weeks of the 2017 Open with enthusiasm, excitement, and energy!

If you've always wanted to check out CrossFit, stop by and drop-in on our growing box! We have classes Monday through Friday in the morning at 5:00 and 6:00 and in the evening at 4:30 and 5:30. Your first week is free!

Don't worry if you lack experience...our coaches are ready to lead you through the first steps of your fitness journey. We can scale any workout to meet you right where that journey begins. We welcome beginners and experienced CrossFitters alike.

(Just bring your own water...there seems to be something powerful in ours!)

People tend to have the misconception that CrossFit is what they see on TV (The CrossFit Games), but it's so much more. It's about being better. That 'better' doesn't have to be 'better than everyone', it can be whatever you want/need it to be. Better movement, better endurance, better strength, better mobility, better friendships, better community, better anything...

Meet Ann Feltis. She's chosen to be better for herself, her husband, and her daughter. She comes in, works hard and crushed every workout she does. Now she's 38 weeks pregnant and refuses to give up! She comes in to be better, and today was no different. She came in, warmed up and crushed The CrossFit Games Open 17.2 workout!

If you have any doubts, misconceptions, fears, or any other excuse for why you don't do it... watch these videos and remind yourself that YOU CAN, and you're always welcome! We will help you any way we can and we'll modify the workouts to beat suit your needs.

If you're not in our area, contact any CrossFit gym in your area, and if you don't like it, don't give up, try another CrossFit gym, but make sure the end result is that You are Better!

Ann Feltis.. you're an inspiration to all of us!

The roster is filling up fast... Don't wait until it's too late. Sign-up today to ensure you're T-Shirt is included in the cost.

In addition to the T-Shirt... the next 20 people to sign-up will receive a free Doc Spartan EDC when they check-in the day of the competition.

It's going to be a great event and we want you to come have fun with us!

She's Back! Not even pneumonia can keep this determined mama sidelined for long! Ann is 37 weeks pregnant and she's still putting in that work!

We can scale any workout, any time, for any athlete.
