36 members fighting it out this month to see who the Paleo champ will be this time around.

Do you have what it takes?

March was  a crazy month at the Crux.  Crazy but fun!

We just wrapped up 5 weeks of the CrossFit Open and Crux did awesome.  We finished 33rd out of 66 teams….there were lot’s of PR’s being set, new movements being mastered and a whole lot of gym comradery.  We had a great time watching each and everyone push their limits through the work outs and hope you all had some fun…even after the 7 minutes of burpees and 150 wall balls!

Great work Team Crux

Don’t forget to check out the next couple of events taking place for some of our gym members:

Limitless Master’s competition is this Saturday at CrossFit Select in Mississauga from 4-9pm.  We have 6 oldies but goodies competing: Bev, Steve, Sarah, Allen, Sean & Cindy.
There will some carpooling from Stouffville if anyone would like to get in on the action and ofcourse dinner and drinks afterwards……

Thanks to everyone who came out and attempted the Open Wod 12.1  ~ 7 minutes of Burpee Goodness!

Here’s to another successful wod 12.2.

Sean celebrated in style last weekend at the SuperBowl .  I suggested a hand stand push up picture but I was too late.  So this will have to do for now.

Sean and the boys (Rod and Dave) even got on the field after the game and managed to play some football for a couple hours.  So atleast there was some activity between all those beers!  Happy Birthday Rodney!

Now if we can just get Dan in his Flyers Jersey to pose at the Leafs game this year, my life will be complete?   

 Just Sayin’    Go Flyers Go!

Allen made us proud this past weekend taking on the Rx’d only Overdose competition.
