Welcome to Crossfit San Jose

As the oldest CrossFit in the South Bay, we have years of experience helping military special service, professional MMA, triathletes and law enforcement personnel become conditioned and prepared for their everyday challenges.  Using these same training techniques, we can help you take on whatever life throws at you.

We unofficially have a team qualified for Regionals!!!!

What a great 5 weeks it has been, we had new Elements graduates, first time Open competitors, and veterans all throwing down side by side feeling the same jitters, pain and sense of accomplishment together. And now for the first time it looks like CFSJ has a team qualified to go to Regionals!!!! This is tremendously exciting for everyone at the box.

Again, congratulations to the CFSJ team placing 29th, and to Ashley Carriveau placing 13th in the NorCal region, the next stop for them will be at the Sonoma Fairgrounds labor day weekend. Marnel King placed 4th in her masters age group and will be going back to the Games this summer to defend her last year’s title.

Finally a HUGE thank you to everyone who gave their time to judge and to those who came down to the box to support our athletes.

13.2 is now history!

Open WOD 13.2 is now finished and in the books.   Great job by both the competitors and all the classes that took this wod on.  Here on some highlights from the WOD

13.1 is in the books

What a turnout we had!!!! It is so great to see all of you joining the fun this year. Of the 138,000 who signed up for the 2013 Open, CFSJ had 42 athletes submit their scores today. We are all so proud of all of you, there were definitely some PRs set during that WOD. Thank you to all our supporters and a HUGE thanks to our judges.

Uli, Hilary, and Bunky getting down with B*^&% Barbara

Suggested use of this time would be to work on your skills, work on elusive skills (i.e. muscle-ups, double-unders, pistols, chest-to-bar pull-ups, toes-to-bar, ring dips, etc.), practice and refine Olymic Lifts (Cleans, Snatches, Jerks), and perform basic lifts (Squats, Presses, Deadlifts, etc.) to improve strength! There will be a trainer supervising, and they will do their best to assist you with any help you may need.
