Testimonials
I love Crossfit Bishop. I am the kind of girl that isn't content with 30 minutes of "cardio" on a bike, or a step aerobics class. I like the full body burn, the opportunity to compete, and most of all the surprise that comes with doing something you didn't think you could do. Crossfit is the master at all of this. Crossfit breaks your body down so it can build back up into a better stronger one. It challenges your mind when you do three more reps than you thought possible. And it teaches your heart all you are capable of. Colin is a great instructor. I’ve never had a personal trainer but it is awesome having someone watching your form so closely, it makes you feel safe knowing that someone is looking out for you during challenging exercises so that you can push yourself a little further. Crossfit Bishop has got Colins intensity and attention to detail, Mollys inspiring fitness and kind spirit, a group of incredibly fun and fit people who are as psyched as you and an adorable baby too. Its certainly one of my favorite places to be in Bishop!!

Crossfit Works! As a young buck, flush with time to get out in the mountains, I felt strongly that the best training for climbing and backcountry skiing was... climbing and backcountry skiing. Now I'm by no means the busiest guy, nor do I have the most sedentary job, but I've felt the pinch of time in recent months. I've spent many days over these busy months with Colin at Crossfit Bishop. Colin energizes the classes, exudes knowledge and confidence, and successfully walks the fine line between motivation and all out pushing. I just had my first opportunity in months to test my new Crossfitted bod'. I can say that the total body training and the fresh, varied workouts make a huge difference! The strength and endurance gains from Crossfit really shined on a recent one-day, monstrous exploratory ski tour in the High Sierra. I look forward to continuing to train and continuing to express strength gains.

I really appreciate all the dedication, knowledge, and energy you and Molly are so generous in giving. Your trained, focused attention and interest in supporting not only my fitness goals, but maximizing the quality of my performance, keeps me engaged and committed. It is inspiring to be around and has been a great catalyst fueling a new level in my health and fitness. It has always been a priority for me, but sometimes the conditions just have to be right to step up the quality and intensity. I suppose much like a CF workout...So, really, thanks. You guys are providing something very worthy to the Bishop community.

CrossFit is a different kind of fitness program that requires much more than gripping a bar and hammering out concentration curls. The complexity and variety of the movements, coupled with the intensity makes for a compelling system of improving one's physical and mental fitness. This is not accomplished without expert, careful, selfless coaching which Colin Broadwater provides.

COME ON BABY YEA!!!!!!!!
I was having nightmares of the SDHP sub for rowing--50 SDHP, 7 heavy thrusters, barf, repeat.
Damn...what a beautifully simple, brutal workout.
It was definately brutal! Felt like it was never going to be over. Do a good job and you get a nice bonus!!!! all and all I loved it when it was all done with.
I sooo want to do this. How's your grommit?
Turns out high fructose corn syrup is good for us!!!

I just love this kind of propaganda!!!
And who is Zirkel, by the way?
Well, this one hurt, but in a good way I guess. I was glad to be able to use the rower...now I need to work on getting my row times down without messing up my thruster time! FYI, Colin, something similar came up in 2007, but it was 3x 1000m row/21 thrusters (I used 65#). So, 500 m more of rowing, and 63 thrusters v. 35...but at a lighter weight. I'm not sure which one hurt more, since I can't remember that far back. Hah.
Gotta love the bonus! Great workout this morning! Yeah!
We NEEEED more rowers!!! Those machines are absolutely wonderful in the worst way possible. As soon as we have enough space I promise to purchase a couple more of those mother's. This was an awesome WOD. Nowhere to sneak a rest...period! I had to scale the weight to 125#'s and finished in 19:22. The weight felt a little too heavy to really push the metabolic ends of things, but it still felt great. More rowers...
Bonus!!!
Epic, Coach. Nice work.
That was a spirit lifting workout for sure! You know you're starting down the path of "unfuckwithable" when you can survive a thing like that. Now I feel ready to go at FGB again...
Wow! The consistent body thumping of 3 days on, sage to summit run, and the last two heavy days has caught up with me. I am with Lola on that one, I seriously thought it would never end. A lot of mental dialogue going on to keep that bar on my chest so I didn't have to clean it again in the same set. REST DAY for me tomorrow. Maybe. Heavy cleans, presses and what not sounds fun. Addiction.
And I missed out on the "bonus" after completing my workout...was it a beverage or food product sweetened with High Fructose Corn-Syrup?
Oh man, I feel jipped on not getting to do the rowers in my set! I had to improvise with a jump rope.....next time!
Chris Gaggia: Chris I wants you phone number.... his phone is 408.306.0989
Molly, I am so with you...I just did not want to clean that bar more than once per set. Reps 6 and 7 had me gasping each round, though! And Colin, see, I told you you'd beat my time...but not by as much as I thought though! Nice job at that weight...yikes:)
