Friends and Family
Chad had family in town last week and was able to get these two “traditional” weightlifters into our gym for some CrossFit action. Both Jonzey and Toa had great attitudes and gave 100 percent during their training at ARCFit. One question though, what’s with the matching shirts fellas? ************************************************ 3 rounds for time: Run 400 [...]
I’ve Got to do that Again?!
Here is Larry finishing up the first lap of the hill run at the CrossFit Games last Friday.

New Invention
Lisa S. got a little overheated during yesterday’s WOD so she came up with this bright idea! That’s right, those are two cold cans of Coors pulled from our beer fridge. Sorry Flip and Josh, I didn’t have the heart to tell you guys. Did they taste any different? This week is going to be [...]
Strong Girls Rock!
Here are some in action photos of Gina, ATP, and Beth competing in Friday’s Affiliate Cup Challenge in Aromas. Our women rocked it during all three WOD’s and Chad, Larry, and I got fired up watching them! Thanks to my sister-in-law Kristine for snapping these great pix and I know for a fact [...]
From Globo Gym to the Box
New member Anthony had a hard time leaving behind the mentality that lifting heavy weights at a Globo gym in 4 sets of 10 equals fitness, and he was at first reluctant to change his ways. One month into training at ARCFit and the visible transformation of his body composition is amazing-the dude is getting [...]
