Members!

Registration for the 2013 Crossfit Open is online NOW. Get yourself registered to compete and see how you compare to the rest of the world. The open is an exciting time to test your abilities in a global competition of the fittest on earth. Rookies and veterans alike can participate, and at Hybrid, we utilize open hours to allow you to do the workouts. This year, we will likely be dedicating a specific day of the week where the class WOD will be the Open WOD. You’re likely to be doing the work anyways, so you might as well see where you rank in the world. It’s a fun experience.

Registration is at games.crossfit.com

Hybrid Members,

The gym wants to host a member’s-only old fashion game of HORSE, you know, the old basketball game you played as a kid on your street, with trick shots and trash talking. Well, we’re doing it with Crossfit. Show off your strengths, and be challenged on your weaknesses as you try and outlast a group of your peers. Groups will be assembled according to ability by the trainers.

The game starts with one member picking a movement, or a mini-wod, being very specific on what is required. They then have to complete their own task. If they do, all members of the group have to attempt it. Anyone missing the requirements gets a letter. If the person picking that round misses it themselves, they get a letter and the game moves on. The game continues until there’s only 1 person in the group left standing.

A date has not yet been determined, but we will host the event during open hours on a Thursday or Saturday. We’re looking to get at least 10 participants, but welcome much more.

If you have interest in playing, e-mail James at James@hybridathletics.net

This is an email sent to us from Anna Wie-she recently participated in one of our Strongman Challenges:

Hi, I’m from Reebok CrossFit Nuremberg and I participated in your Strongman Challenge. I just wanted to let you know that I really had a lot of fun (and pain) and that it would be great if you came back next year with your awesome crew, when I’m stronger (hopefully)! Thank you! Best, Anna

Come join the fun- we will be sure that everyone not only participates but maximizes their knowledge and ability to do strongman.

Hey guys Crossfit Defense did a Q&A as to the benefits of learning self defense. Check out the great Questions and Answers below:

Q1- “I’m a female. I CrossFit because of what it does for my health & my  looks. What will I learn as a female? Is this more for guys or can I  learn the moves too?
