Visited CrossFit 424 in Pella, IA today. (www.crossfit424.com). A friend of mine from High School, Jack Nicholson, invited me over while I was back at home. I have been to a lot of CrossFit's but this had to be one of the coolest facilities. Attached to the box, there is a turf field where we did a dynamic warm up. Clint was our coach for the day - excellent warm up, challenging WOD, and good cool down. WOD was with a partner. 100 KB Swings while your partner was holding a push up plank, then 100 thrusters (65/45) while your partner holds the bar in the rack position, then 100 wall balls while your partner hangs from the pull up bar. Switch as you need. The fact that I did Karen yesterday (150 WB) made the thrusters and WB pretty fun.
Thanks to Jack for invitation and shirt. Hope I get the chance to reciprocate. And, thanks to Mitch and Klint for to WOD and welcoming environment. If you are traveling close to Pella, make sure to stop by.
I started CrossFit in Oroville, CA in 2008. Since then, I have gotten my family and friends started. In January 2014, with some awesome partners, we opened Oroville Crossfit. Crossfit has made such an impact on our lives, it was time to share with our community. My career requires that I travel alot. I try to take advantage of the travel to visit as many CFs as I can. So far I have visited over 70 boxes. I started this blog to share a little about each box I am fortunate enough to visit.
