The home for fitness misfits – those who believe in CrossFit, hard work, and the power of community.
New rule: no Try a Class on 15-sec Echo bike sprint days😜🤢.
Some impressive performances on Monday's bike sprints. Quite the swing from last week's oxidative 10k to this week's phosphagen 15 seconds.
This is what GPP looks like.
Well done, Roots. MisFit Athletics / Crossfit Programming and Coaching
The fall Nutrition Workshop was a hit! Athletes spent Sunday morning learning about CrossFit's dietary prescription, how lifestyle factors can combat the conditions of chronic diseases, and how to put habits into place to drive longterm health and performance.
Athletes finished the day by learning how to prep and pack weighed and measured meals based off of their individual macros and needs.
Shout out to Eric for the meal prep spread! Amy Smith Eric Christensen Nicole Christensen

Tomorrow, we train the phosphagen pathway.
Burn. It. Down. Status.
•
There are three metabolic pathways that provide the energy for all human action.
-
1️⃣ Phosphagen (or phosphocreatine) dominates the highest-powered activities, those that last less than about 10 seconds. Examples include a 50-meter sprint or 1-rep-max clean.
2️⃣ Glycolytic (or lactate) dominates moderate-powered
activities, those that last up to several minutes. A workout like Fran or a 400-meter run is an example of this.
3️⃣ Oxidative (or aerobic) dominates low-powered activities, those that last in excess of several minutes. Benchmark workouts such as “Cindy” or “Kelly,” or running a 5K are examples of this...

This past weekend, we had the opportunity to host the CrossFit Kids Course at CrossFit Roots. This course was born almost 20 years ago, and went online during the pandemic. In-person learning for the win.
The next generation, coaches, and parents need this course and the principles and methods it teaches more than ever.
Our youth are over skilled and under athletic; youth sports structures drive early specialization, and we forget that play - pairing fitness and sport with fun - is paramount to developing strong, healthy humans who will become contributing members of society.
To Aimee, John, and Tegan – thank you for the care, passion, and mastery of the subject you each possess and tirelessly share. Johnbrownactual Aimee Lyons Tegan Aymond Soderlind CrossFit Training & Education

Get ready for the fall nutrition workshop! Sunday, September 20th!
Have you ever been in the sweet spot with your nutrition?
You feel dialed, informed, and the effort doesn’t seem like a giant hurdle. Then, something in the foundation starts to crack. Maybe your job changes, you enter into a new season, or your workout times change – and all of the sudden no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to get back to that nutritional flowstate.
Is it your food quality? Is it that you need new macros? In most cases, no.
You need a hard reset to the fundamentals of nutrition.
Whether you’ve worked on your nutrition before or you’re brand new to CrossFit’s dietary prescription, this workshop is an entry and reset to the big, meaty levers that make the greatest impact on your health and performance.
