Hey CrossFitters,
My last three Thursdays have been pretty exciting. I had the pleasure of working with our cities local Fire Departments. They allowed me to come in and demonstrate what CrossFit is all about and how it can be helpful to our local fire men and women. I had a short video that demonstrated some of workouts and even had some footage of firefighters doing our WOD's. After the video we went into the bay area where they keep the fire trucks and had some of the guys participate in the Fight Gone Bad workout.
The guys were good sports and worked hard to get high scores. Most had never trained this way before and found it to be very challenging. Of course Fight Gone Bad isn't your typical workout. I don't think anyone is truly prepared for the intensity that is required from this particular workout.
I give these guys credit for stepping up and giving it a try. I feel that everyone gave 100% effort and worked to their fullest capacity. Below is a list of people that completed this workout and their scores. NICE JOB GUYS!
If I'm ever in an accident or fire this is definitely the group of men and women I want to come and rescue me. All of you are truly amazing people and I want to thank you for having me in your home.
I would like to thank a few people for their participation in assisting me with this project. Without their help and support I would not have been able to pull this off.
Thank you,
John Specuza

Excellent numbers put up by the firefighters. I have to admit to wanting to go again to beat the high number! Oh well, maybe I'll get a chance to do it again when they come to the gym.
This is cool...way to go to the firefighters!
We can always do it again. Just tell me when and where.
Maybe at the Beach. Maybe.
I don't know how well the equipment would hold up to the sand, water and moisture. The weights might rust and I don't know if it would damage the rower.
The beach does sound like fun though as long as the equipment doesn't get damaged.
