Denise F., our Mobility Coach, hanging out with the famous K-Star during an intermission at The Reebok CrossFit Games last weekend. Denise hit it off with the mobility master and was invited to an upcoming Mobility Certification with him. Our Mobility Class just got a little more valuable, as if it’s not already a one of a kind perk. Be sure to catch a class soon.

K-Star going over what he calls the “douche bag shoulder position” with a small crowd at The Reebok CrossFit Games last weekend. A severe case of the shoulders being internally rotated, basically. The pecs and front of your shoulders are so tight and inflexible that is causes your shoulders to come forward and upper back to hunch over. This can be addressed and fixed over time with certain mobility exercises. Come to our Mobility Class for additional tips.
