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.

CrossFit Bishop is getting better once again!!! Every Tuesday night at 7:30 pm, a martial arts class will be offered by Chris Reynolds. Chris will be renting space from us and will start with this one class per week and grow from there. We'll have an informational meeting/question and answer session on Saturday February 5th at 6:00 pm immediately following our 5:00 class. Rates will be determined by Chris and will be separate from your monthly or punch card membership. Following is a little bit about Chris's history with Martial Arts:

Chris started learning The Filipino Martial Arts (Kali/Silat/Arnis), Jun Fan Gung Fu/Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun in 1998 in Auburn, AL with the Auburn Jun Fan Club. He took private lessons from Sifu John DiJulio and Sifu/ Guro Bruce Jolly for the next three years. In 2001, Chris started attending classes and taking private lessons in Columbus, Georgia with Sifu/ Guro Juan R. Perez in the arts above and also submission wrestling. Juan is an Army Ranger 1^st Sgt with multiple combat experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan. Chris learned from Juan the differences in training for the street, for sport, and for wartime situations. Also, Juan taught Chris the idea of “progressive resistance”, a way of testing all of your techniques against an unwilling opponent in a safe environment. In 2005, Chris received his instructorship in Kali: The Filipino Martial Arts & Jun Fan Gung Fu/ Jeet Kune Do from Sifu/ Guro Juan R. Perez. Also, over the last decade Chris has explored other martial arts including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai/Thai Boxing, Shoot Wrestling and Madjapahit Silat. He has been taught privately by many famous martial artist including, Guro Marc Denney founder of Dog Brothers Martial Arts, Guro Victor Gendrano, Samuel Puccio (Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu), and several others. Currently, Chris continues his training with Sifu/ Guro Juan several times a year as well as attending seminars with the famous Guro Dan Inosanto.
