On Wednesday, June 30th ABC7 will be running a story about two of CFP’s amazing athletes that personify our motto “Re-Activate Your Life.” See Jeff and Kosta at 5:20am, 6:20am, 11:00am, 5:00pm, 6:00pm and all day at www.abc7news.com.

And while we’re talking about awesome athletes, CHECK THIS GUY OUT!
At the begining of February Elico was sitting at 156lbs and 19% body fat. By the end of May he had put on 7 lbs of muscle, lost 15lbs of fat and was down to 148lbs and only 10% body fat.

Nothing tell his story quite like this before and after. Good work Elico!


“Almost ALL change came when I decided to sit down and improve my nutrition. I put a lot of effort into figuring out what and how much to eat– the most significant change being a substitution of breads/pastas later in the day with healthy vegetables such as spinach and broccoli. Talking to Paul and Dan made a big impact, as I learned to introduce cottage cheese at night, healthy fats such as almonds and fish oil caps, and solid protein sources instead of multiple shakes. For me the value in Crossfit not only comes in the form of major motivation when working out with our group and trainers, but also in allowing me to concentrate most of my effort on the food I eat. As far as working out goes, all I have to do is show up. ”

Workout Playlist Contest
Do you love to sweat it to the oldies or throwback to your jazzercise days and do your WOD to some Cyndi Lauper? Maybe you throw on your crushed velvet pimp suit and find motivation in the Snoop D-O-Double G. No matter what your music preference, it could win you a free month at CrossFit Pleasanton. Throw your 20 favorite workout songs on a CD and bring it in. We’ll chose our favorite and let you know. Even if your playlist doesn’t take home the grand prize, at least we’ll be able to get some more variety (except for 1 o’clock, you guys are working out to the 8 Mile soundtrack everyday).

Kids in the Gym
As a family owned gym we pride ourselves on being family friendly. With that in mind, our first concern for your little ones is safety. Even the most well behaved kids can’t predict which way weights will bounce or when someone will start swinging a kettlebell. To avoid injury and minimize disruption to other clients all children must stay in foyer (the area by the bathrooms) during workouts. Our trainers will be enforcing this rule so please remind your kids to bring something to entertain themselves for the hour.

Grayson directs kids to the foyer
