We are extending our hours on Monday-

Open Noon- 7:30pm
NO EXCUSES NOT TO BE HERE!!!!!!
Congratulations Climbers!
Congratulation to our members and trainers who participated "The Big Climb for Leukemia" by running, walking or crawling up the Columbia Center in Seattle last Sunday.
A HUGE Congrats to Dave Salyer (front row on the right) who placed 5th out of 2666 participants with a time of 8:14. WOW...incredible!!!!
Rachel's Bootcamp!
Our CrossFit trainer, Rachel Olson, instucts her version of 'Bootcamp' Tuesday and Thursday morning at 5:30am and Thursday evening at 5:30pm. I am thrilled with the consistency of attendance by the participants. Why do they keep coming to her class? Because this Bootcamp is the 'real thing' and she kicks their butts, AND THEY LIKE IT!!
If you are planning to give Mt. Baker CrossFit a try, DO NOT begin with Bootcamp. We must 'release you' to be able to attend Rachel's class.
When you visit our facility for the first time, enter during 'CrossFit Training' hours.
A Card from Rachael
This week, we received a Thank You card from Rachael Vaniski. It reads:
Skip & Rhonda,
Can you believe it's already been a year since I walked through your door? Happy Anniversary to us!
I don't know that I can thank you enough, but here's a start: Thank you for showing me the strength and confidence I always had, but never realized. Thank you for assuring me that I can, even when I think I can't-and you are usually right too! Thank you for showing me who I can be. Thank you for your enthusiasm and personal interest. It is easy to see that you genuinely care and love what you do. I feel blessed to be a part of your CrossFit community family and couldn't imagine life without it.
I'm looking forward to another year of great workouts, friends and fun!
Love,
Rachael Vaniski
Rachael, you said it better than I could. We are all blessed to be a part of the CrossFit FAMILY! That is exactly what we are. Rhonda and I have worked at various 'clubs' during the past 30 years. We were all 'loners' it that setting. No one really cared about us as individuals. CrossFit brings us together and creates a new wonderful circle of love and caring.
We are blessed to have discovered CrossFit and all of our new friends and FAMILY!
Rachael and her mom, Becky train on our 'unlimited training' program and they both attend our Commando Krav Maga classes.
Kirk Has Something to Say...
"Inactivity and poor eating habits got the better of me. October 2007 I tipped the scales at 263 with a blood pressure of 150/100 and on two blood pressure medications.
Today I weigh 230 and my blood pressure is 120/70 and I've taken in 5" on my belt.
My wife, Katherine convinced me to try Mt. Baker CrossFit giving us the opportunity to do something together now that we are 'empty nesters'. Training at Mt. Baker CrossFit has been the best thing I've done for myself in a long time.
I used to exercise, but not like this. At the beginning, it made me feel 'sore' but now I recover much quicker. I never thought a pull-up would be an option for me, but now it is!
Food is my new 'medicine'. I'm following the CrossFit nutritional plan about 90%. This is the way I am going to eat for the rest of my life.
I sleep much better, with less snoring, according to my wife. Also, my memory seems to be much improved, although I still have trouble with some of those dates my wife remembers.
My results have made me very motivated to continue. My goal is to be 200lbs. by the 4th of July. My ultimate goal is 175. Also, I want to perform 20 muscle-ups, which will be more than what I could do when I was 18."
Thank you, Kirk! The bad news is, we will NEVER be able to remember all those important dates our wives remember! It's unfair!
Kirk, like me is 50 something. CrossFit training gives us ALL the hope and confidence to become as fit and healthy as we USED TO BE.
Every day we have someone new enter our door, and they tell us an 'I used to' story. "I used to compete in triathlons.." "I used to weigh 175."
CrossFit allows us to perform and become what we used to do and what we used to be.....just walk in the door! We'll take over from there and train you and teach you how to eat! Results.....GUARANTEED!!
