Any Doubt He’s Working Hard?
Look at the facial expression, the sweat soaked shirt, the muscle flexion-any doubt that Ali is putting almost everything he has into this workout? If you are not taking yourself to this place during the daily WOD, then you are cheating yourself out of becoming a fitter individual. Keep the intensity high and reap the [...]
Is There a Doctor in the House?
Good thing Chad is marrying a doctor, because this is not a healthy post-WOD look! ******************************** Stupendous first week in the new box! It’s nice to finally have a little breathing room and some more equipment. We will continue to add equipment as our pocketbook allows so please hang in there with us. As always, [...]
Dynamic Duo
Beavis… and Butthead… Anthony and Trevor have formed quite a bond since joining ARCFit. Kat affectionately nicknamed them Beavis and Butthead because of their somewhat whacky antics while training at our box. Both guys are super dedicated to becoming bigger, stronger and faster and they motivate/challenge each other on a daily basis. I also hear [...]

Breaking in the Box

Our New Home
Well we are almost entirely moved in to the new place. ARCFit WODs will be rockin’ at 1512 B Howe Avenue, Sacramento from now on! Thanks to Burl of BC Construction and Melissa for helping us put the final touches in place. Without Brad’s assistance, I’d still be in there trying to hang those ropes! [...]

You guys rock!!! ******************************* Rest Day Sit around and enjoy the extra hour you gained today and [...]
