Spend two full days with Mike Burgener’s CrossFit Coaches Josh Everett, Stephane Rochet and Shane Hamman learning, studying and practicing the Olympic lifts.

In addition to his Collegiate coaching and competitive weightlifting Josh is also deeply involved in the CrossFit community. He serves frequently as an instructor at Crossfit level 1 certs and as a CrossFit athlete has twice finished in the top 3 at the CrossFit Games.
Stephane Rochet has spent 10 years learning the Olympic lifts from Coach Burgener. Rochet is the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of San Diego, where he oversees the strength training of 450 student-athletes in a high level collegiate program. The lessons learned at “Mike’s Gym” are passed on to these elite athletes every day, with outstanding results.

Attention loyal Crossfit Pleasantonians. Due to circumstances out of our control, the last three day’s blog posts where obliterated by an angry web god.
Gone.
Never to come back.
So, everything you accomplished at the gym on those days was for nothing.
If your spouse calls looking to check your alibi, your screwed. You were doing water aerobics.
Oh, and I can’t load any pictures either. I had a beautiful shot of Adam with his shirt off, but ladies you will have to wait.
This summer we had 24 kids from the Amador High School Cross Country team participate in Off-Season General Strength and Conditioning at Re-Active Gym.
On average the boys gained 4 ¼ pounds, increased muscle mass by 6.2#’s, lost 2 pounds of fat, decreased fat% by 1.75% and increased their health score as compared to the average American by 7.75 points.
On average, the girls lost 1.2 pounds, increased muscle mass by 2.15 pounds, lost 3.34 pounds of fat, decreased fat% by 2.32% and increased their health score as compared to the average American by 10.4 points.
