Vigilante CrossFit Vigilante CrossFit Forging an iron will... The philosophy of Vigilante CrossFit is to improve an athlete's fitness from the inside out. Function before fashion.

Pursuing performance before anatomy. We are not interested in what is cool or stylish. First we want what works. Some train to make the body beautiful. We train the body to simultaneously discipline the mind and develop the will. The flesh is only as strong as the spirit within. From this strength of character which has been developed the body can then be made to do anything.

One year ago, weighing in at 340 lbs, I decided that I was tired of being unhealthy and miserable. I happened upon Vigilante Crossfit and sent the inquiring email that would change my life. Barely able to walk 1/4 of a mile without pain, the amazing coaching staff met me at my fitness level and mentored me on how to adopt a sustainable, healthy lifestyle that has allowed me to lose 115 lbs. VCF is more than just a gym. It is a family that has and continues to support and motivate me every day. Check out the website at www.VigilanteCrossFit.com .

TESTED, PROVEN, STRONGER.... If what you are doing is not challenging you, then it will not change you.
Every time I enter the gym to train - I remind myself; I am not here to set a PR, lift a certain amount of weight, or out do somebody else's performance. I enter in to become stronger. I have learned to accept that I may perform differently on different days. As each year passes, that becomes more unpredictable. That means embracing that I must maintain the balance of challenging myself daily while working sincerely within my limitations. My main goal is to leave the gym a little bit different - a little bit better than when I walked in - every single time. Therein lies success.

Happy winter everyone from VCF! Just in case you were wondering...yes we are open in spite of the snow and treacherous roads. In fact - as long as we have electricity - we will be open(kinda hard/unsafe to work out in the dark). So if you have the means to get here safely - you can count on us to be here with the heat on ready to go with donuts and hot chocolate! We're not about to let the USPS be the institution known to be the most reliable any longer..the gauntlet has been thrown down!

The summer is winding down. People are enjoying their last vacations and school has started again. This last week there was a hint of autumn in the air.
As we have just completed a week of testing at our midway point in our 6 month training cycle I am taking stock of your accomplishments. I am impressed and inspired by your persistence and progress. Immense gains have been made across the board by virtually everyone. Many of you confess to doing things you never thought possible. Your coaches at VCF are thankful to share in the odyssey with you toward meeting your goals.
For those who are newer to our community and yet still being introduced to our unusual approach to fitness we extend a welcome and a sincere thank you for choosing to train with us. You are going to begin laying a solid foundation over the coming months that will set you up for astounding progress.
For those of you who have stayed the course with us for a long time now, again we extend a sincere thank you for entrusting us with helping you to meet your goals. As we move forward you will start to experience exponential progress as your foundation has been laid. You are now on your way to uncharted territory in which we will help you navigate it and survive it!! The following months to come are going to be filled with excitement as we continue to coach you and observe the transformation that will take place.
In closing - I want to encourage you to keep on keepin' on. Train when you feel motivated. But train when you lack motivation. Remain consistent. Exercise your will and press on to do what so often we don't "feel" like. Remember how good you do feel when you've completed the workout for the day! It's when we add up all those daily investments that we will come once again to the place where we look back and take stock of our work. I want you to be proud of your accomplishments and share in your success as we see again your hard work and consistency paying off.
We've got a lot of fun albeit challenging things ahead. We are in awe of what you've accomplished already. We're bracing ourselves for what we're going to witness you achieve in the months to come!!

BELOW: many of the deadlift PRs from Friday. My apologies to anyone I missed. There were so many PRs being set I was struggling to get them all on camera! What a great problem to have!
P.S. To our friends who could not be with us due to circumstances that have taken you to new phases of your lives both temporary and permanent - you are missed and thought of often. We are with you in spirit. We hope are paths do cross again. Ian- good luck in school. Kim- have fun, be safe, and show em how it's done. Mark- best of luck in your career. Sorry for your recent loss. Danielle- good luck in school - keep your feet warm! Chris Rapp - we await your return. Liz- don't over reach on the rower. Come see us over breaks. And Sara Hauck - it's time!! See you soon.
