CrossFit Apex Christmas Wish

We are so excited to announce the first CrossFit Apex Christmas Wish. Apex will be giving away one full year FREE to TWO FAMILIES in need of fitness. Now through November 15th we will be accepting nominations for families in need. With every membership(s) purchased during the month of Oct-Nov 15th you will get 1 nomination. If you already purchased a membership earlier in October please fill out a nomination form.

Nomination forms are located on our check in table. We will be choosing our 2 families in 2 different ways. One will be drawn at random on the night of our Christmas Party (Dec. 14th) and the other will be chosen by the training staff based on stories/letters written by you and announced at the Christmas Party. You may choose how you want to nominate a family (raffle or story) on your nomination sheet. To be selected by the trainers there must be a story written, otherwise that nomination will go into the raffle. Additional raffles (only) may be purchased for $20 (unlimited number).

Please join in nominating a family you know who may not be able to afford CrossFit training and give them the gift of fitness for 2014.

Chat with a Former Champ

CrossFit Games page caught up with Tanya Wagner

Read the Full Article Here

Tanya Wagner is an OG.

The 2009 CrossFit Games champ first appeared on the competitive scene at the 2008 Games where she took second to Caity Matter Henniger. The next year, she returned to Aromas, Calif., and won.

Over the last six years, she has witnessed the evolution of CrossFit and gained knowledge and experience few others have had the privilege to share.

Wagner is still heavily involved in CrossFit, acting as a commentator for the Games season. She also continues to compete, despite her decision to pull out of Regionals this year because she is expecting her second child in December.

I talked with Wagner about the ever-more challenging Games programming, past champ invites, the future of CrossFit and more.
