DIABLO CROSSFIT: A SANCTUARY OF POSITIVITY  With all that is happening in the world and especially in politics, it’s nice to have refuge from the deluge of media content and online discussions – especially the negativity and vitriol. Our coaches and our support team are keenly interested in making your time at Diablo, your best hour of the day. We’ll stay focused on you, CrossFit and your fitness despite any external media turmoil.

After all, there’s not much better than a great workout with your CrossFit crew to lift your spirits and change your perspective on the world – officially certified with a fist bump at the end.

We got this. 

PUSHUP/SQUAT CHALLENGE – NOW ITS SERIOUS!  Keep your head in it! You’re in the 100’s now. You’ve got this – BUT, it’s best to break ’em up with a big set in the morning. Good luck. You can do it. 

HSA / FSA FOR MEMBERSHIP SAVINGS – CrossFit has partnered with Truemed to make Health Savings Account access easy for your membership. Just fill out a simple questionnaire to register and you’ll be able to access your HSA/FSA account for your membership fees – saving up to 30% a year. Check out Truemed here. 

A BIT ABOUT DIABLO: “THE SHED” – The only workout designed after a logo – circa 2008. On Friday last week, the workout of the day was a Diablo CrossFit benchmark called “The Shed”. The workout is for time:

• 2/3 Rope Climbs
• 600m Row
• 30 Overhead Squats (#53/95)
• 600m Run
• 30′ / 30′ Walking Overhead Lunges – ea. arm (#25/35)
• 16 Handstand Push Ups
• 30 Box Jumps
• 60 KB Swings (#25/35)

Now, examine our first outdoor sign for Diablo CrossFit above. The devil stick figures represent each of the movements in “The Shed” workout with a slight modification for Ring Handstand Push Ups. The KB swing is not show, but the after-effect is (puking in a bucket with the kettlebell close by). OG partner Jeremy Jones designed the logo – which was also one of our first T-Shirts.

“The Shed” was the nickname for our 1st indoor location at 2040 North Main St. in Walnut Creek – a 1000sf mechanics shed with a roll-up garage door. We moved out of the Shed in January 2009 to our current location in Pleasant Hill.
