2017, the best year yet!

As we are starting out 2017, and CrossFit Coronado’s 10th year of bringing the pain and getting people gains, we’ve got several reasons to believe this might be the best year yet.  Clint will be finishing his doctorate in physical therapy and thus ending school FOREVER (so he’s obviously excited).  Kim should be finishing up her masters in nutrition this year too!  Plus, we are working with our awesome team at CFC to come up with a game plan to make 2017 the best year of CrossFit for everyone here.

Before you start reading, we want to ask you to take our gym survey to help us make CFC the best it can be in 2017.  The link for the survey is at the bottom of this post and also HERE.

Here’s some of what’s in store for CFC this year:

First Friday Happy Hours starting in March.  We will vote on somewhere to meet after the 4/5pm classes the first Friday of every month for some social time with everyone.

Nutrition Challenge/Reboot will run from February 20th – April 2.  This will be a partner/team based challenge with a flexible design to challenge you as much or little as you need and are ready for.  We will be meeting Wednesday 2/15 at 6pm to review guidelines and talk nutrition and how to implement changes in your diet/lifestyle for success.  There will be a benchmark partner WOD for the challenge.  If you know someone you want to partner with that will help keep you accountable, sign up for the challenge with them.  If you don’t have anyone in mind but want to do the challenge, we will find you a partner.  There is no cost to join in the challenge.  We will select a male and female winner based on who sticks to their plan the best and commits to making healthy changes.  Winners will get free dinner from the gym at the April “First Friday” Happy Hour!  We’re also hoping to get some recipe exchanges and maybe a meal exchange going on with this!

The 2017 CrossFit Open.  This years open starts February 23.  We will be doing the Open WODs during the classes on Fridays.  We will have a potluck at the gym on 2/24 and 3/24 during the afternoon classes and will have childcare available so EVERYONE can come and hang out!  We will have a brunch Open party week 3 after the 09:30 class (date is 3/10).  If you haven’t signed up for the open you can register at www.games.crossfit.com for $20.  You don’t have to register to participate with us though.

The Committed Club:  We want to recognize our members that are getting into the gym 15 times in a month.  We’ll be posting January’s “Committed Club” list this week.  If you want your name on the list for February, make sure to hit 15 or more workouts!

Mobility Wednesdays will be the last Wednesday of each month during the 6pm class.  Feel free to BYOB of choice and come ready to get better and learn some new mobility tricks.

Skills Wednesdays will be the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm (Starting in March).  We will focus on different skills each month based on what you guys want help with.

BEACH WODs are BACK!  We have a beach WOD scheduled for Sunday 2/19 at 9am.  We will meet at North Beach on the sidewalk.  These are always fun and you are welcome to invite anyone you’d like to join!

New Equipment: We just ordered 2 “Speal Bars” for the black rig.  These are stainless steel pull up bars that don’t need any tape and make pull ups awesome.  Just wait and see if you haven’t tried them before!

Track workouts!  Mekenna is going to be doing some track workouts at the high school and is extending an invite to anyone that want to join her.  We’ll let you know when the first one will be.

Please take our gym survey and let us know what we can do to help make CFC the best it’s ever been.  The survey is anonymous and we welcome all of your feedback!

He joined the Navy after High School in 2007, where he has served as a Helicopter Aircrewman and Rescue Swimmer since. It was in the military that he was first introduced to CrossFit in 2009 and he was hooked.

He enjoys spending time outdoors with his family, playing in various washed-up adult hockey leagues, and completing in local CrossFit competitions. His favorite WOD is anything heavy so he can beat all of the smaller faster athletes in the gym or Murph.

She spent her summers teaching swim lessons to kids of all ages, developing a love for teaching & coaching in the process. She started CrossFit in April of 2016 on the recommendation of a friend. The group environment, positive atmosphere, and athletic challenge hooked her immediately. With her love for CrossFit and passion for helping others find their strength, it was a natural progression to get her L1 and start coaching at CrossFit Amundson in Santa Cruz, CA under the mentorship of Greg Amundson. She moved to San Diego in October of 2020 and found her new home at CrossFit Coronado.

MIKE MARRIOTT

COACH

Mike came to CrossFit Coronado after a 26-year career in the Marine Corps. Having made fitness a way of life during his time in the Marines, he was searching for a means to maintain an elite level of fitness after he retired from the Corps. Maintaining a regimen of elite fitness was an elusive goal for him until he stumbled upon the back alley garage that is home to CrossFit Coronado. As the 8th original member Mike was at CrossFit Coronado from its very start and adapted to the CrossFit protocol like a duck takes to water. Mike was a devoted and dedicated coach and friend.  Unfortunately he passed away in march, 2018 from pancreatic cancer.  His spirit will always be a part of CrossFit Coronado.  He helped to build and shape this gym into what it is today.  Strong Like Bull.  Semper Fi Sir.

KIMBERLY RUSSELL

Owner

Kimberly started doing CrossFit in 2010.  She quickly realized the awesome benefits of CrossFit and was eager to help Clint when they decided to take over as the owners.  She helps with our teen program and the behind the scenes work that needs to be done.  Kim works part time as an oncology nurse and is a full time to mom to their two little girls. Prior to that, she worked for the City of San Diego for over ten years teaching children of all ages and abilities how to swim and spent three years working as a substitute teacher for kids in grades K-12.  Kim took long-term sub positions teaching high school physical education and middle school science.  After seeing the lack of physical fitness with kids in the school systems, Kim wanted to help set up a teen program to give kids a positive physical outlet aside from school competitive sports.  After having kids and realizing how challenging it is to workout with little ones, she also created a program in the gym to offer childcare so that moms (and dads) can get their workouts in!  Email Kim

CLINT RUSSELL, DPT

OWNER

Clint started as a customer with CrossFit Coronado in October 2008.  He became a trainer in August 2009, and the owner in August 2010.  He has been an athlete since he was young.  Starting with 7 years of gymnastics and martial arts, as well as high school football and track.  In college, he got into endurance running and swimming.  He was first introduced to CrossFit in the military.  A CrossFit athlete is one that is well rounded in all areas of fitness.   It was this, and the fact that there is absolutely no way to duplicate the results that CrossFit produces for the short amount of time the workouts require, that initially hooked Clint.  Clint has personally experienced improvement in every aspect of fitness, with much shorter workout times.  He competed in the SoCal Regionals in 2010 with a team and in 2011 and 2012 as an individual.  Clint thoroughly enjoys helping people reach their goals.  Clint recently completed a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the university of Saint Augustine and is excited to integrate PT into the gym. His goal is to help professionalize the fitness industry and bring educated and safe training to everyone.  Clint enjoys working with everyone, especially people who need more individualized attention or modifications.  If you’re interested in CrossFit Coronado or personal training, email Clint.
