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.

What do you do for work? I'm a Firefighter

How has training at CrossFit Bishop improved your performance in sport and as a firefighter? Exponentially! I saw lots of improvement in strength and endurance when I first started training, then I began to plateau. My issue was nutrition. Thankfully I had Colin and Molly to talk to and help set me on the right track with food. Ever since then I have been on a consistent rise in strength. I keep waiting for the plateau and it's not happening. Every time I ride my bike I'm setting PR's and my average speed keeps increasing. The benefits at work have been tremendous! I don't seem to fatigue as easily anymore. I am able to operate the jaws of life through an entire extrication without having to trade off. My body is able to handle heat better and work for longer periods during fires. I'm not tiring as easily when we get that wonderful patient that wants to fight, and it seems as though my reaction times and split decision making processes are increasing for whatever reason.

What do you do when you're not at CrossFit Bishop or working? Usually I am trying to travel as much as possible, although I have not been able to do much in the last couple of months. I'm looking forward to the snow melting in the back country to do some hiking/fishing this summer.

Favorite WOD? Fran, The only reason is I have to beat that guy in Chico!

What do you love/hate about CF? I love being pushed and seeing the improvements. It's kind of sick to say, but I like the pain. I genuinely hate that CrossFit makes me have to stretch. Anybody that has seen me do that Chicken wing thing with the leg knows why!

If you could be transported to a fantasy world of your choice, where would you go? HaHa this always changes, I guess right now I would like to be on a tropical beach, with my own house, a paleo cook, and surfboards.
