You have likely noticed over the last month that your warm-ups at CrossFit Iron Legion have been… …well… …a little bit different.  Actually, they have been a whole lot different.  Gone are the days of the same predictable warm-up movements:  Run or row 500m followed by 20 pass throughs, 20 air squats, 20 lunges, some […]

It’s not.   It’s easy to see why folks feel this way in a country full of “Mclook-a-like business-Marts”.   Franchises follow a strict guideline to maintain the same – or […]

A great article by our friends at CrossFit Kings Point in Orlando!     A few years ago, if you would have asked me about Groupon, I would have answered differently. We ran one deal, but were overstaffed at the time and made sure we structured it in a way that we could handle the […]
