Members of the Tribe recently filmed with a crew from Voice of America
for their Indoensia channel. We filmed around the Bethesda area and had
a great afternoon and feel the story will be very positive! Vivit from
VOA was very cool and joined in the Primal Fitness class - she's seen
here learning how to do QM on a low wall. It was great working with
Ningrum and the whole crew - they've even signed up for some Parkour
training at Primal Fitness!

Sorry for the late post, but we've been going back and forth on scheduling this thing for a couple of weeks now! Either way, here's the specifics: Saturday July 5th 3:00pm-8:00pm Challenge: The Crossfit Total: 3 attempts at 1RM for each of the following lifts: Back Squat Deadlift Overhead Press The competition will be followed by grilling out back, so bring some covered side-dishes and beverages for the after-party, and feel free to bring family and friends to cheer you on and share in the fun! This will be free to current Primal clients and $15 or a covered dish for non-primates. See you all there! Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Last night we met with the Mount Vernon Square Neighborhood Association. The
meeting was very positive and they voted to back our request for a zoning
variance which is necessary to continue Primal's operation. They had two
requests which are quite reasonable - there are requests that men wear shirts
when jogging - why this is important or related to Primal Fitness I have no
idea. We will continue to be respectful and courteous neighbors while running -
now wear a shirt :) Primal shirts are on sale for the next two weeks - $15
(in-store only) - get one, wear it with pride!
The second request is more fun - our neighborhood does have a crime element
- if we modify our jogging route to include a few alleys (only when in groups)
this will let people know that our neighborhood is awake and aware which will
be a huge crime deterrent. We welcome our law enforcement clients to run locked
& loaded :)
As always please drop weights on double green mats and only when necessary.

Fitness for a Parkour training seminar. Lead by Amanda Henry, the

assistance from Brittany Rouin. The women went through some very tough
conditioning sessions and many of the basic techniques, premises, and
history of Parkour. Click the image for full size, read more to find

As everyone around Primal knows, Christy kicks some serious ass when it comes to hard workouts. Luckily everybody else got to figure it out too when she placed 3rd overall in the Crossfit games at Albany Crossfit ! This goes to show what hard work and dedication can accomplish when paired with some effective programming. Awesome work Christy! Write Comment (0 Comments) |

The day is finally here, after more than a year and a half of some kick-ass performances from our fellow primates, we've procured a whiteboard worthy of the PR's that have been rolling in lately! Any client who has done at least 3 benchmark workouts can get their name on the board, and will have their PR's updated as they happen for all to see. Here's to competitive motivation!

Thanks to Bill Stowell, a DSS agent and one of our most committed clients, we had a great group of FBI SWAT members come in for an early go at the Memorial Day Murph fundraiser challenge.

This past week was Jeff Van Collins' 1st anniversarry of his start date at Primal. Jeff does CrossFit classes in the mornings, It's amazing what he's done in a year! Jeff has lost about 25 pounds and drastically changed his body composition - one year leaner and meaner, Jeff consistently posts impressive gains in strength and fitness. He's  also left a lot of his trademark sweat pools.

With roughly 18 participants (haven't gotten around to an official count yet!) and some great PR's being accomplished, this past weekend's Crossfit challenge was one of our best yet. Thanks a ton to everybody who made it out and made it all so much fun! You can check out the quick cut I made of the video footage HERE . |
