So my long and over due final update. The last two gyms on our stop were Crossfit North Vancouver and Crossfit Vancouver. Crossfit North Van is a great spot, it is actually where my brother and I now train. The owner Dave is a great guy, we weren’t originally going to stop here but once he heard about us he got in contact and we worked out a date. We were really happy we were able to fit in North Van, Dave put on a great event. It was a huge class and everyone seemed really excited about what we were doing. The workout its self wasn’t my favorite, for the reason I had to finally do the dreaded double unders. Most people were able to complete the workout in a respectable time, unlike me who ended up looking foolish. I am now proud to say I can sort of do double unders. Thanks to Dave and everyone at Crossfit North Vancouver, pretty sure this gym got the record for most t-shirts sold.
After North Van we head out to Vancouver, which happens to be the first ever Crossfit in Canada. The people at Crossfit Vancouver were great, they came over and really made us feel at home in the gym. The workout was a interesting one called the “sinister six”, it was six rounds of six movement for six reps. The thing about this workout is with the low rep count you can do each set unbroken, so the whole workout turns into a sprint. We stayed around for awhile after the workout and talked to the members. The trip has been great getting to meet so many interesting people, haven’t meet a person a didn’t like. One thing I learned from this trip, if you are ever visiting a town and don’t know anyone, find the closest crossfit and your sure to meet a great group of locals.
