Gym Closed Friday-Sunday for Arnold Classic and CrossFit Sectionals!
A handful of members and the entire staff will be out of town this weekend at various competitions. We will be closed Friday Afternoon-Sunday. We will have classes Friday morning!! Also, will you still post WODs on the blog for Friday and Saturday that you can do at home.
Or… you can skip out on trainin this weekend and drive to Huntsville to watch your fellow CrossFitters compete in Sectionals!!
Mike Bledsoe, Mike McGoldrick, Ashley Bledsoe, Craig Ward, Brett Canale, and Grey Avant are all competing at CrossFit Sectionals this weekend!!
Ok seriously, who do you think would win in a fight between Grey and Brett??

Also, Doug Larson and Jon Bienz are competing in the Arnold Classic Grappling Tournament in Columbus, OH.
Nutrition is the Base of Your Physical Health, Longevity, Physique and Performance – Here’s the Basics!
CrossFit Sectionals Competition – Huntsville, AL – March 6-7th!!!
If you want to compete please meet with Mike ASAP to discuss your workouts for the next few weeks!
If you’re not going to the Arnold (below) then you should try to compete at Sectionals the same weekend! It’s a qualifying event for the Regionals (and eventually the Games) so it will be a good opportunity to watch, and compete against, some great athletes!!
FYI: No one ever feels like they are ready to compete for the first time, myself included. Those are normal feelings. That being said; quit putting it off and assuming you’re going to be the worst person there (hint: you won’t be) and go do it!!! Smile big!…you’re about to puke in front of a crowd (and it’s not even New Year’s!!)
NPC Southern Classic Figure Competition – June 5th, 2010!
A few Faction ladies (Wendy Kaspar, Ashley Bledsoe, and maybe Vanessa Walker and a few others) are going to compete in their first (except for Wendy) figure competition this coming June! Basically it involves training their butts off to look as sexy as possible! It’s great incentive to really dial in your training and nutrition for summer and it’s a hell of a lot of fun too!
If you interested in competing come talk to Doug ASAP so we can get you started on the right track!!!
Great job Mike McGoldrick, Justin LaMance, James Cheney, and Chris Bodry at the Garage Games in Atlanta over the weekend!!!
New T-shirts are here!!!!
It’s been far too long but we finally have some new shirts!! $20 each. First come first served.
Pose Running Clinics – Every Wednesday Night @ 6pm!
For those of you wanting to run marathons, triathlons, or just want to better your Helen time there is no better coaching/programming in Memphis. You’ll gain better gait efficiency, decreased run time and injury reduction.
If you’re interested in learning proper run mechanics come to our Pose clinic at 6pm at CrossFit Memphis with Mike Bledsoe.
Cost is $10 for members and non-members of CrossFit Memphis and free for CrossFit Endurance athletes at CrossFit Memphis.

“With CrossFit you never know what you’re going to do each day. You try things you would have never thought of! You do things with your body you never thought you could do. Everyone is working out in a similar way so we all feel each others pain (ie., working our tails off) and everyone is so supportive. I like that the coaches are always there to help. It’s nice to not have to rely on machines; your body IS the machine! It’s the most efficient way to exercise. I’m hooked!”
