We are excited to announce that Urban Acres will now
be using Crossfit Strong as one of their Farm Stands!!! Urban Acres is a local organic market
located in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas. They created a “co-op style” produce system that
makes shopping easy! You buy a “share” of fruits and vegetables that is chosen for you
depending on the bounty available. Then you will come to the Farm Stand & pick up your goods!
Simple & easy!! They do the shopping….all you do is pay & pick up! And lucky for us – it’s
right here – a place where we come anyway….how simple is that??? =)
In order to sign up - please visit their website

We have been noticing lately that not EVERYONE is entering their scores after the WOD. There are probably a few reasons for this….so let’s explore:
- “I’m not competitive so it’s not about time for me…just a good workout” - ok. Well. It’s NOT about the score. Entering your time is a great way to see your progress. Even though we do not repeat WODs very often, you can see the difference in weights used for certain lifts. And in general, you can see your progression since you’ve been here. Taking like WODs will help set a goal for yourself – if there was a WOD w/a run, deadlifts & pullups, us that score to help push you through Pepper.
- “I don’t do the workouts RX’d” – ok. Well. It’s NOT about doing the WOD RX’d – it’s about pushing yourself OUTSIDE YOUR COMFORT ZONE! You will still get a good workout & improve if you are pushing yourself. Recording your time/score as NonRx will help dictate what weights you use on other workouts – instead of asking the coach every workout what weight you should us. Us the website as a TRACKING tool – to help guide you in the weights you are using as well as helping you get to the RX weights. Plus – you can see those workouts where you use a green band and now you might be using a red band – THAT is an improvement
- “I forget my score or I forget to log it” – that’s just LAZY! =) We have a computer set up in the box, after the WOD; walk over, log in & record your time – get another excuse!!
Am I missing any??? Recording your times/scores is crucial to tracking your progress here. If you are not seeing results, we look at your WOD times, along with many other things to see how we can change your training. Plus, it’s ENCOURAGING seeing your times get faster
