The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT)Saturday, June 26th, 9:30 AM – 11:00 AMCamp Dodge, Johnston, IA 50131 Athlete instructions and map here… https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IdmF3PjdGV5xshnVBn-kGjDJJlX0kKpmIGK7CRphPe4/edit?usp=sharing CrossFit WDM gets to host a small ACFT event next weekend. If you’ve ever wondered or wanted to know if you are “Army” Fit for the modern battle… I encourage you to come. If you are a veteran, active military, interested in joining the military, join us. If you are like me, fitness stands for a lot. And to me, fitness is fun. But the Army isn’t doing this for fun, they are doing it to protect their Soldiers and better predict outcomes in battle. Reading the foreword in the ACFT manual gives me increased perspective of the values the Army is upholding in the development of it’s new standard fitness test. “The ACFT will strengthen our fitness culture, our Soldiers’ fitness for battle, and our Army’s...

Over the years we have had members show interest in acquiring equipment that they would like to use for a short period of time, to travel with, or even to invest in to build out their own home gym usage. During quarantine we gave out EVERY piece of equipment that would fit through the doors. And people used it and very much appreciated it! Our goal is to serve those needs anytime you need it. Whether you are wanting to work out with some friends or build a challenge for your family at home, create a custom outdoor WOD, train for a Rowathon, go on vacation, or just workout using our At Home Programming while you recover from a mild illness or on an extended stay for whatever reason! We’d also like to purchase some of the new equipment that is on our WANT list so that all members can enjoy the new stimulus that awaits! Behold, the...

33 Members measured their effort on the bike, rower, and ski erg over the course of the month to rack up as many calories as possible. Closing in on a goal of 3,500, 7,000, or an aggressive 10,500 calories.. 1 lb, 2 lb, 3 lb’s worth. We challenged you all to log this on the whiteboard as an ongoing challenge to promote extra cardio as some baseline accessory work. We have some recognizable achievements that we think you should hear to men and women who tallied up the most this month… are they someone who is usually in your class? Give em’ a pat on the back! We also brought a new idea to March with the 50/50 Raffle Challenge! Anyone who bought a ticket for $5 would be entered into a “split the pot”. For every Calorie you burned on the challenge you received an entry. The winner of...

Coaches and Athletes, We want to help everyone the best we can. After review of the new proclamation it states that fitness centers may remain open under conditions. Short answer, we are staying Open, read further on changes we are inputting. The condition that raises the most concern is the term “all group fitness activities prohibited”. We have a cap on our classes for a reason and it is to primarily ensure the distance between athletes is adequate and the equipment being used is yours only. We are keeping it under 15 people as well. There are times during pull up bar transitions, moving around the room for plates and other equipment, or walking to a hspu/wall ball spot where 6 feet gets breached, please be mindful of using the aisles and not cutting through squares during those times and others like it. It states that masks are not required for “any...
