🗣️What the TOP athletes in North Texas are saying about CrossFit… “All you need to start CrossFit is a good attitude and be willing to work hard” Tucker, owner @RayzorRanchCrossFit “I walked into my first workout, it absolutely kicked my hutt and I couldn’t wait to do it again” Nathan, D-Town…

What do you eat after you workout? What SHOULD you eat after you workout? Carbs? Protein? Fat? Eat right away? Wait? Water? Should I be eating before too? Well, honestly, it just depends. Depends on the time of day you’re working out, your goals, your experience, and what step you’re at in the…

// PERFECTING THE AIR SQUAT 🦵Knees Hurt? 😪Lower Back Gets Tight? 👠Or do you look like a STRIPPER when you stand? Then you NEED to increase the quality of your Air Squat! Because higher quality means… …Less Injuries …More weight. …Better Looking legs (isn’t that why we’re all here anyways???) …No…

There are a lot of hard things you have to do after having a baby. Coming back to the gym and getting back into fitness doesn’t have to be one of them. Your body goes through so much change, trauma and growth over the 9 months of pregnancy. It’s hard. And no matter what your labor and delivery…

Why do people get more results at OYL than working out alone? It’s the people. Why do people still show up after hard day’s work? It’s the people. Why do they wake up to that 4:30am alarm clock even when they’re sore on a cold morning? It’s the people. Why do members drive past other gym just…

Improve your race by 14 minutes on average!! 🤯 That’s what happens when you compare our athlete’s times from the July sim —> October sim for those that competed in both! Training for a HYROX can get distorted and complicated and ChatGPT is the worst coach when it comes to this🤣 (srsly, ask for a…

Congrats. Your excuse is valid. Now what? What are you going to do about it? Do you actually think this is going to be your last busy holiday season? That next year will all of a sudden slow down and be less busy? Chances are, you’re only going to get more busy. So you might as well start now…

1 month til HYROX Dallas // 5 months til HYROX Houston… What you do now will prepare you for your race. You can’t just cram a bunch of training into the final 2 weeks. Prep for HYROX Dallas started months ago. At this point, we can only refine our fitness. HYROX Houston goes on sale next week…

💥Why the traditional gym model is BROKEN >> How many times have you tried to do it on your own? Tried to follow the pictures on the machines but don’t know if you’re doing it right? Endless hours on the elliptical to “do cardio” because you’re scared to walk over to the free weights? Same…

I’m calling it out, because I’ve been there. It’s so “easy” to log your gym lifts, memorize your 1RMs, your Fran time, and compare your Open rankings year-to-year, so why can’t you do the same with your food? It’s clearly not your ability to track, it’s your willingness. You are embarrassed of…

No time?? 18 coaching cues in 10 seconds! You’ll either make time for your health now or later. You’ll either spend money on your health now or later. But today you have a choice, but later you won’t. Later, you’ll be forced into emergency mode. Spending recklessly for pure survival…

Only losers quit. If you never quit, then you’ll either get there eventually or die trying. And we will all pass away from this earth, eventually so really your only option is to WIN or QUIT. So no matter the struggles, the fight, the obstacles, or all the things you feel are stacked against you…

Why add @HYROX as a program to CrossFit OYL? I view HYROX as a race / way to test your fitness. CrossFit is a training methodology, that’s what OYL revolves around. But our members regularly test their fitness outside the gym in different ways - local 5k, spartan, Olympic weightlifting, and…

Intensity is the most important factor in your training. To quote Greg Glassman: “Intensity is the independent variable most commonly associated with maximizing the rate of return on favorable adaptation toe exercise.” In other words, intensity gets you results. Intensity doesn’t mean 110%…

You can’t effectively coach with something in your hand… Just had a member drop in to a CrossFit gym while traveling and they said the coach wrote the warm up on the whiteboard, explained the workout, told the class to get started then sat there on their phone. Does this really still happen? Do…

Don’t confuse knowledge with wisdom. Just because you know information doesn’t mean you understand how to implement it. It’s always easier to help as a third party. With yourself, you give yourself too many excuses, free passes, and most of it is subconscious. That’s not bad. That’s your body…

Tough workout? A little bit sore? Stressed at work? Kids schedules are crazy? We’ll see you again tomorrow😎 #crossfitoyl #crossfit #gym #haslettx #rhometx

HYROX MINI SIM 🏃‍♂️💨 8 of our OYL athletes took on the HYROX Mini Sim at CrossFit Iron Horse last weekend and came back with a 🥇 for RX Male, 🥈 for RX Female, and 🥉 for RX Female! If you’re ready to take your HYROX training to the next level, I’ve got two options for you: 1. HYROX Full Sim @ CF…

A coach should coach. Before the workout. During the workout. After the workout. Shown is a cue during a set of wall balls mid-workout. Then the follow up 30 seconds later during the rest period to reinforce. It’s super causal and kinda boring, because that’s how normal this is. Basic cues, use…

In honor of my kid’s 6U baseball season starting on Saturday! Your kids should play sports. But you can’t buy them $300+ bats, enter tournaments, and sign them up for 3 sports at the same time and then claim how you don’t have the time or money to be healthy. 20 years from now, they won’t…

The Tale of Two Doctors 👨‍⚕️ This week, we had a doctor tell a member to modify their workouts to avoid overhead movements on one shoulder while they worked on a plan to return to activity. That member came to class yesterday. Last week, we had another doctor tell a different member that CrossFit…

Imagine not going to college because you don’t already know all the material… Or, not signing your kid up for t-ball because they’ve never hit a ball before… Or, not going to a movie because you don’t know the ending? Wild. That’s literally the whole point of going to a gym + following a…
