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.

People People!!!

Changes are afoot!!!

Prepare yourselves!!!

You may want to sit down for this...

Your daily workouts will no longer be available for viewing on this website!!!  If you want to know what your workouts are ahead of time you will have to ask me or one of our awesome coaches for access to our member website if you don't already have that.  

Why, why why!!??  I know that change can be a bitch, but hey, that's life eh?  And this is ultimately for the better!  We're really getting on the ball with tracking your fitness data these days and this is just another step in that process.  Writing the workouts on the Zen Planner website will allow us to quickly and easily track your progress so that we, the coaches, and you the ahtletes, can have a clear vision of where you are improving and where you might need to focus a little bit of extra energy...  Also, we will be following the programming genius of the folks at CrossFit Seattle/Moveskill.com, where I will soon be part of the team, and it is not available to the general public for free.

We will still be using this site for general information regarding the daily/weekly workouts.  That is we will post articles, videos, and general information that you can use to prepare for what may lie ahead for the day or week...  For instance, you will need to start becoming familiiar with the tempo training style.  We have played around with this a bit in the past, but never really stuck with it for our general programming.  You will see things like this:

5 sets of bench press for 5 reps @ 3010
That 3010 means that you will lower the bar down to a 3 second count, spend 0 seconds in the bottom position, 1 second driving back up, and 0 seconds at the top.
The first number is always the lowering phase, the second is always the bottom position, third is the drive up, and fourth is the top position.  This does mean that there is NO rest in the top or bottom position.  Stopping and resting/re-setting is not allowed at this tempo. 

This can be a little confusing for a movement like the pull up where you are starting at the bottom of the movement.  Just remember that the first number is always the lowering phase...
