​These are strange times, chaotic times, special times, unique times - These sayings have become ubiquitous in our conversations lately. Whatever we want to call it, things are different for all of us in one way or another. Most of us have experienced huge changes to our routines. The gym has closed, our kids aren’t going to school, we’re working from home, and other extracurriculars have been cancelled. While I don’t have much experience and therefore can’t offer much help on how to deal with kids at home, I have had experience with remote work and working from home, and can help offer some suggestions to help you navigate through this new (hopefully only temporary) norm.  

There are some key things we can do to keep ourselves healthy, both physically and mentally, during these turbulent times!

Tara first joined the CrossFit 6S family in the summer of 2018. In the fall of the same year, she added Olympic weightlifting to her training regimen and she has been a staple of CrossFit 6S and Rx Weightlifting ever since. Tara is the embodiment of a hybrid athlete. On top of CrossFit and Weightlifting, Tara is also known for her long distance endurances races, and comes from an equestrian riding background. Whether it’s in the domains of maximal strength, explosive power, aerobic conditioning, or anaerobic endurance, Tara can do it all! You only have to look at her competition record to see proof of her fitness across various domains.

Fitness can be done anywhere! And with the recent travel and work bans surrounding COVID-19, some of us may not be able to make it into the gym as frequently as we would like. But, this is no reason NOT to workout! If we want to stay healthy and combat this nasty flu season, we all need to work together to strengthen our immune systems! One (of several) ways to do this is to stay active.

Plus, who doesn't feel better after a good sweat!?

To help get you through the next weeks and months, regardless of where you are, we've adapted 20 workouts from our mentors that can be done AT HOME. Some will require equipment, but others do not. Feel free to take these as your own templates and make adjustments as needed. 

Let's all continue to do the things we love, while also ensuring we stay HEALTHY!

On Saturday February 28th, we made memories. We made new friends, we tried new movements, and we had FUN. It had been since 2018 since our last in-house members competition because of 2019's 'double Open', but CrossFit 6S brought the house down for the 2020 Underground Throwdown. 44 of our athletes came together on 11 teams. Some people meeting for the very first time on that Saturday, but everyone came together and worked as a team. By the end of the day and after 4 (and for some 5) workouts, we crowned 3 teams on the podium, handed out those giant cheques you see on the game shows, and celebrated every ones hard work with post workout carbs (beer)!
