Arizona Affiliate Competition

Luke — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 07:46:05 +0000

Congratulations to all of the athletes who competed in this weekend’s Arizona Affiliate Competition at CrossFit Flagstaff. The weather was awe full pounding us with snow all the way up and down the mountain. Our very own Nick Zambruno and Jeff Brennan both competed and finished in the Top 10. Nick was one workout away from winning the entire event in only his 2nd competition to date and having only been Cross Fitting for less than 7 months. The 8 total workouts were challenging, technical and exciting to watch. The men’s final heat came down to a few muscle ups and our good friend Peter Egyed of CrossFit Fury pulled off the dramatic finish with 39 total muscle ups beating out Derek Kneadler and Michael Moseley to win this local competition two years in a row. The top 3 women were Samantha Silverman in 3rd, Katie Brown in 2nd and in 1st Place Amanda DeRosa. Check out SicFit.com for all your CrossFit media news.

Dr. Sonya’s focus is on women between 20 and 30 years of age, particularly before they become pregnant so she can have a positive influence on both Mom and Baby’s health.

The “Bigger and Better” CrossFit Scottsdale

Najla — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:00:58 +0000

CrossFit Scottsdale est. 2008

We’ve come a long way in the last 3 years and we’ve worked hard to maintain the reputation as a leader in the Fitness Industry and within the greater CrossFit Community. Over this time period, we have developed some of Arizona’s greatest athletes, local affiliates, business partners, healthy human beings, and a community that embraces each other’s successes.

To us, fitness is a state of mind, a way of being….it makes you a great human being. It shows up in the way you present yourself. It’s in your attitude, your character and your core values. In one way shape or form we all share the same ideologies at CrossFit Scottsdale. We believe that being physically fit and healthy is inspiring; it feels good, enriches our lives and allows us to live our best.

We are proud of how far we have all come and we are thrilled to announce that as of today, we are taking over the space next door and expanding our facility to 5,000 square feet. Over the next 30 days, the gym will transform into a “Bigger and Better”, CrossFit Scottsdale. We will be knocking out the north wall right under the Ten General Physical Skills banners to create one large gym floor or two working classrooms. In addition the back garage will house six muscle-up stations and be the learning center for Goal Seminars, Food as Fuel Classes, Competition Meetings, and Olympic lifting video film reviews. The new expansion space will have ropes, platforms and house a pull up structure that would appeal to the Gorilla Expedition at the San Diego Zoo, complete with flying pull up bars, ropes, rings and racks.

We continue to meet the growing needs of our School of Elite Fitness and with the new gym expansion comes the launch of new programs and services. In addition to our core programming of the various levels of CrossFit Classes; Women’s only, CrossFit Kids, Scottsdale Connections group, Seminars, Challenges, Events and Nutrition Services, we are proud to announce the launch of: Scottsdale Endurance, CrossFit Scottsdale Yoga, CrossFit Foundations, CrossFit Teens, Gymnastics, a Competition Class, the Body Matrix Ultrasound Scanning System and a world renowned SEALFIT program.

We will continue to demonstrate and enhance the level of quality, service, skilled professional coaching, and commitment to our community, training and RESULTS that we currently provide. We would like to thank each and every one of you for the role you have played in the success of CrossFit Scottsdale Powered by Kayyem Fitness.

Save the date to celebrate with us at the “Bigger and Better” Expansion Extravaganza on Friday August 26th at 6pm.

In good health,
Luke and Najla Kayyem

CrossFit Scottsdale Connections- April Meeting
Ashley — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 17:24:45 +0000

 
As we progress through competition season, there are many ways to help get you prepared to perform with Elite Fitness outside of CrossFit Scottsdale as well.  Mark DiSalvo with Arizona Orthopedic Physical Therapy can help bring the recourses you and your body need to get ready to dominate any WOD.
 
Mark not only relieves patients of their pain and helping them meet their personal goals, but he educates them along the way as well. He not only helps with any injured area, but the whole boy and how it moves. This approach allows Mark to focus on the cause of the pain or dysfunction and to quickly develop a strategy to improve the symptoms or limitations. Patients know they will spend quality one-on-one time with Mark and this individualized approach allows him to constantly monitor and change a patient’s program to meet their specific needs. His goal is for every patient to see a positive measurable change in their condition after each visit.
Come learn more about Mark DiSalvo and how he can change your game for CrossFit!
The meeting will take place at AZOPT’s office at 9364 E Raintree Dr. Scottsdale, AZ 85260
