Celebrating 10 Years and Crushing the Open 22.2 WOD

Celebrating 9 Years!

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 08:20:00 GMT

March 1, 2021 is the 9-year anniversary of CHC. In March of 2012, the first fundamentals class was held in an uninsulated warehouse just down the road. Some of you here in this room are part of that founding community of coaches and CrossFitters just starting out.

A lot has transpired since those bitter cold (or wicked hot) early days in a rented space down the road. We’ve moved, grown, learned, given, competed, lost, won, and most important of all, we have persevered. For some, CHC has been a launch pad; for others, a way station; and for still others of us, a home.

In this 9th year, it is fitting to think about the meaning of completing 9 years together as a community.

The number 9, as the highest single digit, is recognized in many cultures as the number or time interval that can only be achieved through sacrifice, through successfully enduring multiple challenges and navigating one transformation after another. The mere accomplishment of reaching the 9th year is a measure of experience, accumulated wisdom, and right actions, balanced with a raw determination to persevere – sometimes through the sheer strength of will.

In a lot of ways, this describes the path of CHC.

Nothing has magnified this process more than this past year.

In recognition of the endurance of CHC through the most challenging year of our generation, a commemorative coin has been designed in remembrance. With this, we recognize the magnitude of the challenge that we have stood before and prevailed.

While the global conditions of 2020 have added weight to our lives, changed our behaviors, and sorted our priorities, it has also forged this community into an unshakable human collective and it has stamped this community “resilient” to whatever comes its way!

Thank you for your enduring support and commitment,

Pam

We are LEVEL METHOD licensed!

Sun, 05 Jan 2020 23:53:00 GMT

We are always looking at the best ways to improve what we’re doing, and how we can provide an even better experience. It’s important to constantly evolve and evaluate how we can be better. Just like we tell all of you, our members!

We’ve had an eye on the Level Method for a year, met with its founder and developer, spent multiple hours researching and truly believe it is a game changer in the CrossFit world.

We are FIRED UP to implement the Level Method, and confident it will be an amazing addition to the College Hill community.

Check out the MAP (“Method of Athletic Progression”) during your next class as it is a detailed yet easy-to-understand chart of athletic tests that measure.

You’ll see a colorful board consisting of Levels moving left to right (separated by vertical lines), and Categories from top to bottom (separated by horizontal lines).

Each category has an upper number (MALE Standard) and a lower number (FEMALE Standard) and there are 32 Levels in each category.

The 15 categories are comprised of things like Upper Body Pull, Deadlift, and Running.

Each category moves from left to right →, from beginner to advanced, and correspond to colored levels, similar to a martial arts belt ranking system.

The information you obtain through these tests will show you exactly where you are in your fitness journey.

Knowing exactly where you are in your fitness journey is the first step needed to safely and effectively progress toward your goals.

How will it be implemented?

Beginning Monday, January 13 ^th we’ll begin assessments in all regular CrossFit classes over the course of 2 weeks. There are tons of opportunities to make up missed workouts, so no worries if you can’t make a certain day.

How is this a game changer?

● Accurate representation of current fitness level

● Shows improvements in multiple areas

● Visible path of where to improve & set goals

● Clear communication and guidance from coaches

● Meshes perfectly with what we are currently doing

● Better understanding of “why” behind training

● Ensures correct safety & development

Yours in fitness,

The College Hill Team!

NUTRIENT IV THERAPY AT COLLEGE HILL!

Sun, 01 Dec 2019 20:19:00 GMT

IV Hydration Therapy Is HERE!

ABOUT IV HYDRATION THERAPY

Nearly 75% of Americans don’t consume the daily amount of water recommended by the Institute of Medicine. This means that most people in the U.S. are chronically dehydrated. IV hydration therapy is an easy way to ensure you are getting enough fluids to keep you hydrated and operating at optimum health. The therapy treatments intravenously deliver fluids, vitamins and other nutritional supplements directly and safely into your bloodstream.

By delivering fluids and vitamins directly to your bloodstream, you’re able to almost immediately absorb 100% of these nutrients and take larger quantities of them. For example, with Vitamin C, you can only take 5 grams by mouth before stomach distress. But, through an IV, we can administer more than 10x this amount of vitamin C.

Whether you’re training, designing your recovery plan, or recovering from an injury, Dr. Cat’s team can help integrate IV hydration to optimize your efforts. They are looking forward to helping you achieve your athletic goals.

WHY IV THERAPY FOR ATHLETES?

Athletes committed to optimal health and performance understand the benefits of proper hydration and diet. Professional and amateur athletes also know the importance of effective recovery plans for intense training and events. Cellular damage, muscle soreness and fatigue, and a weakened immune system can keep you from returning to normal activities for many weeks, and sometimes longer.

This is why we have partnered with Dr. Cat’s IV Drip Bar. The Myers’ Cocktail has become one of our most popular treatments. The Myers’ Cocktail has a combination of vitamins and fluids that hydrate, reduce inflammation, increase muscle recovery and boost your immune system. The package also includes a B12 shot which sustains the benefits of the IV while also improving your energy, mood and sleep. All of this helps you recover fully, faster.

“THE MYERS’ COCKTAIL” FOR WELLNESS + PERFORMANCE

The Myers’ Cocktail is focused on treating people before they’re ill and keeping people operating at their best, which is why everyone loves it. Being surrounded by people who are choosing to improve their health and wellness is what drives Dr. Cat’s team every day. When you schedule an appointment, you’ll meet with either Cathrin Olsen or Ren Bizzell to discuss the reason for your visit. Once they have determined your best treatment, your IV is administered and you will sit back and relax in a private room, equipped with TV, Wi-Fi and comfortable chaise lounge chairs.

All of the IV hydration therapies are administered by experienced, board-certified physicians, registered nurses and licensed paramedics, are safe and are highly effective.
