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.

- Paul Elia

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.

sand bagged by Colin. TIme to put the beer down and start drinking some water! Wish I could do this one with everyone. I'm waking Naya up at the crack of dawn to come watch the 6 am madness. Krista "light as a feather, stiff as a board".... the honey bucket does not exist with this Helen attempt!

Annie, are you going to be able to finally do this one running instead of rowing???? That will be fun to see. YOU'RE going to kill it.

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterMolly

I can run! I hope I make it back from June Lake in time!!

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterAnnie

Man! One week away from crossfit and I am having withdrawls reading all the WODS and posts! I checked out US crossfit today in Encinitas, sweet gym for sure, but I have to say I am happy to be a member at crossfit bishop! I can't wait to get back and hit a WOD!

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterGavin

Bring it on back Gavin!!!

wow. 1:55 slower than last time. Ridiculous. Nice job to Howie...new record (as of 10am) by one freakin second! Oh the humanity.

I feel like I've been doing worse and worse, while everyone else is improving. Nutrition? Frequency? Motivation? Timing? What's happening to me? growl.

ok, suck it up, buttercup.

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterVicles

oh yea...nice job to Malloy too! RIghteous.

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered Commentervicles

Thanks, Vic...and we all go through cycles, I think, of PRs and plateaus or drops. Maybe you work better in the evening? Maybe you just have to want it:) I'm going to try it with the big KB next time!

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterSarah

Sorry Vic, I didn't realize I beat a record until Molly pointed it out. Climbed a few pitches this afternoon and felt like someone turned up the gravity. You'll get 'er next time.

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterHowie

Sarah I was trying to get on that white board haha...you are awesome!! My "Helen" hero.

June 30, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterKrista

You'll beat me in no time, Krista! I've probably done Helen at least twelve times, maybe more, and improved almost every time. I'm ready to up the weight now, so that I can do it with the 1.5pd KB. It's fun to go for the heavier weights sometimes...
