It’s that time! The next Bootcamp starts Monday July 6! Register for you spot!
Got a workout “routine”?
Maybe that’s the problem.
CrossFit Challenge CFC Bootcamp is not routine, it is:
- Intense
- Focused
- Powerful
- Effective
- Transformative
- Unforgiving
- The best thing you will do for yourself this year.
0500 to 0615 every workday morning for two weeks train with a combat veteran who draws on over a decade’s experience serving and training with the Marine Corps’s Anti Terrorism and Fleet Marine Forces.
Combining team and individual workouts, with non traditional tools outdoors and using the CrossFit methodology, you will push beyond current capabilities and expectations to realize what true fitness feels like.
We have one mission here to see our athletes improve: If you bring the guts and the sweat then regardless of ability level you will see results.
Comments from June: “Class 0109”
“I look forward to the challenge and pushing myself every morning. The personal lessons learned are greatly appreciated… Boot camp has made an immediate impact…”
“Thanks for your help and making me “will” myself to finish what I’ve started.”
“I want you to know how much I enjoyed the Boot Camp and how inspiring and motivating you were in this class!! I love to be “fit” as you Crossfitters say and I get so caught up in work and other priorities that I don’t get my Happy ASS up early enough to get my fitness needs met. This class taught me that I COULD do that and I am so glad I made the commitment to do this! I appreciate your stories and inspiration and I will be back in the gym upon my return from vacation.”
First two weeks of every month
Now reach down and pick up the challenge.
Next class starts July 6, limited slots
The CrossFit Challenge CFC Bootcamps are 2 weeks long (10 workouts). They are held the first 2 weeks of each month. Enrollment and payment are required prior to attending the bootcamp. To sign up for the next one, click here!

Just got home from judging at the CrossFit Houston Summer Challenge.
The first thing I have to say is WOW! What a spectacular display of elite fitness. Very inspiring work by all competitors.
Thank you Carlos, Lisa and Audrey for hosting the event. Ya’ll did a great job!
More than anything else, I want to express how proud I am of the CrossFit Champions athletes that competed. I don’t know if I have ever been more impressed with your performances than I was today. It is an honor to be your coach!
