Crossfit Fairbanks


I visited Crossfit Fairbanks on thursday to meet up with the owner and take him to rugby practice. He and his friend Reese both came out. They are in great shape and seemed to really enjoy the chance to stretch their legs with the fellas. Kane was pretty excited to get out and hit, he was even contemplating heading down to Anchorage for the weekend tournament but I think family obligations coupled with the short notice made it too difficult. That's okay the next one is in 2 weeks down in Palmer.

Concept 2 rowers by the big open doors that let in the fresh air.

The usual assortment at a Crossfit gym. rubber plates, kettlebells, medicine and slamballs. squat rack. sledge hammers. abmats. and some dumbells for good measure.

The side area is great for alternative fitness stuff like rolling tires or pounding them with sledges, or carrying logs.

The dreaded GHD. Glute (butt) Hamstring (back o da leg) developer. you can do them upside down and it becomes the dreaded Abdominal developer also. Ask my wife she did 90 the day before I came back to SC and whined about her sore abs all week.

Ah, tractor tires for pushing around and beating up. Most go around 300lbs.

Eagles don't lift weights in Alaska, just errant wandering children under 5 years of age. Keep them on a leash folks. Say this in an aussie accent, "Eagle ate your baby?!"
