A Quick Look Back
Craig, Yvonne, Jennifer & Jamie Lee got together for a FB Live discussion to talk about the InBody test, upcoming events, the Fall Classic, Sep programming and a lot more. Check out the videos below – our broadcast was interrupted so we have two parts. The #liftlikeagirl Oly Clinic was a hit – sold out – and featured Alessandra Pichelli, Carrie Olson and Alyssa Ritchie, 3 of the best female lifters in the world.
We have a new Start Up! class in San Jose – a take on our old “Elements” program: six group classes on MWF at 6:30 PM – for anyone new to CrossFit. We’ll take them through our 6 start up workouts and add some nutrition coaching. At the end, they’ll be ready for class – with a crew of friends who shared the experience.

Craig’s List
Joe Rogan with Elon Musk #1169 – This was an excellent podcast with one of the smartest and best thinkers in America. Ignore all the hype about Elon’s one small hit of marijuana, please. Elon is a very thoughtful individual with some very interesting and compelling perspectives on artificial intelligence, traffic problems, solar energy and excessive carbon in our atmosphere. His mind is always working and looking for simple solutions to the world’s problems. I’ve never wanted to drive a Tesla, but after listening to Elon talk, I’m now keenly interested in trying one some day.
