Getting Leveled

The wonderful people from Level 4 CrossFit in Seattle put together a list of athletic skill levels.  They are ranked from Level 1 for a well rounded beginner to Level 4 for elite athletes (FAQs about the levels).  Two things happen when I present this to people.  First, they look at the elite athlete standards for what they can do and second, they look at how many things on the Level 1 list they can do.  Then I inform them the rules of the Levels:  you have to be able to complete every single thing on the list within 30 days to be considered at that level.  This will give most of us a gut check for where our weaknesses are, which is a great thing to know!  Try to set goals that will help strengthen these weaknesses.  Read about “The Finisher” at CrosSFit San Francisco, part 1 and part 2.

On another note, we will finally be getting the On Ramp program up and running the first week of October!  The program includes 3 classes per week for 4 weeks on a set schedule.  We are not sure what times will fill up, but our proposed times are as follows:
