CrossFit Watsonville

CrossFit Watsonville CrossFit is a community where we work together to reach our goals while bringing the fun back to you We are a community first and foremost.

We know there are many choices out there when it comes to fitness - we are in fact, bombarded by these choices on a daily basis. At CrossFit Watsonville, we try to offer something different. CrossFit Watsonville was started by a group of trainers with years of strength and conditioning experience that were sick of the same old gym experience: "check-in at the front desk, put on your ipod, zone out

on some cardio machine, lift a few weights, go home". We wanted something better, something fun, something effective, and most of all, a place we could call home. CrossFit Watsonville provides a family atmosphere and a motivating, inspirational place to achieve your fitness goals. We like to have fun, but we are also serious about our fitness - we ask the same of our clients. It doesn't matter whether you are deadlifting 5 lbs or 500 lbs, as long as you are pushing your own personal limits we will be right there with you giving you our 110%. CrossFit Watsonville can and will change your life - if you want to see how, just come on down and take a free class with us.

The biggest mistake we see people make when they first try HYROX?

Treating it like a sprint. ❌

Whether it’s the opening 1km run, the very first meter of the sled push, or those initial burpee broad jumps, the temptation is always to attack them with everything you’ve got.

But HYROX is a game of management. If you redline in the first 15 minutes, the remaining 45+ are going to feel twice as long.

Here are the three biggest pacing mistakes to avoid:

1️⃣ Sprinting the first run. Your adrenaline will be pumping, but your first kilometer should actually feel a bit conservative. Save that energy for the stations ahead.

2️⃣ Rushing the transitions. Flying into a station when your heart rate is at 180 bpm makes the movement harder than it needs to be. Take 5–10 seconds to catch your breath, reset, and then execute.

3️⃣ Not having a plan for the reps. Going unbroken on wall balls or lunges until failure sounds tough, but strategic, planned breaks will actually get you to the finish line faster and with less burnout.

In our classes, we don't just teach you how to do the movements. We teach you how to pace them, how to breathe through them, and how to finish just as strong as you started.

On Memorial Day, we pause to honor the heroes who never made it home. It’s a reminder that our freedom to gather, to struggle together through MURPH, and then go home to our loved ones, came at a cost most of us will never fully understand.

This hero WOD “MURPH” honors U.S Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, who gave his life in Afghanistan on June 28th, 2005.

Every year we come together, we suffer together, and we finish together. This is not just an important tradition.
This is community ❤️

Thinking about trying HYROX but something's holding you back? 🤔

We hear the same hesitations all the time and almost none of them are real. Let's clear up the three big ones 👇

▪️ "I'm not a runner."
You don't have to be. HYROX runs are 1km repeats, broken up by stations. They're short, manageable, and they get easier the more you train them. Most of our members weren't runners when they started.

▪️ "I'm not in shape yet."
That's exactly why class exists. Every movement scales, lighter sleds, smaller wall balls, shorter lunges. You meet HYROX where you're at, and we'll coach you the rest of the way.

▪️ "I don't want to compete against everyone."
HYROX is a race, but our classes aren't. You work at your own pace, set your own weights, and finish when you finish. The only person you're up against is yourself.

If you've been on the fence, come check it out. We'd love to have you.

The sled push 🛷

If you've watched a HYROX race, you've seen it, athletes pushing weighted sleds across the floor at Station 2.

It shows up after your second kilometer of running, and yes, your legs will know they did some work. But here's the good news: anyone can learn it, and it's one of the most rewarding movements in the sport once you've got the technique down.

A few coaching cues we use in class 👇

▪️ Hips low, body angled forward
▪️ Drive through your legs (not your arms!)
▪️ Short, quick steps to keep the sled moving

Whether it's your first time on a sled or your hundredth, we'll meet you where you're at.

Runs will be done together. A and B will work at the same time until both are finished and then they will run together.

What is HYROX? 🏃‍♂️💪

It's the world's fastest-growing fitness race and the best part? It's built for everyone, not just elite athletes.

Here's the format:
8 rounds of 1km runs paired with 8 functional workouts. Same order. Same structure. Every race, every city, anywhere in the world.

The 8 stations → SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jumps, Row, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, and 100 Wall Balls to finish.

Divisions exist for every level: Open, Pro, Doubles, Relay, and Adaptive, so you can race solo, with a partner, or as a team of four.

Whether you're training for race day or just want the toughest, most fun workout of your week, our HYROX classes will get you ready.

Meet Beverly.
She’s been putting in hard work to prepare for the “Little Wharf Race”, and today it paid off, with a 1st place finish in her division! 🥇

Her consistency and determination are such an inspiration to our community, and we are SO proud of her.
