As Coach Glassman so elegantly puts it, “Regardless of what the problem is, the answer is the squat.” Looking for that elusive Snatch PR? Work the overhead squat. You want to PR your 1rm Clean? Front squats are a good start. Trying to get off the porcelain throne after your daily poop pageant? I digress,...Read More
I will put this out there first – I do not like how Crossfit programmed the WOWs this year. I have read and understood all the posts regarding the hows and whys and find that while I agree with pretty much everything that was said – I still don’t like it. I could go on...Read More
Have you met Kim Seevers? The first time I met Kim was during Strongman Class. We were flipping tires outside in the parking lot. It was a beautiful summer day – The sun was out. The guns were out. ‘I’m training for the 2014 Paralympic Games,’ Kim said. ‘Wait, The Olympics? In 2014?’ I...Read More

The most obvious thing about what class you pick probably pertains to your work schedule and family...Read More
What do I enjoy the most about Albany Crossfit? What I enjoy most about Albany Croosfit is the ever-expanding family that I have acquired through my membership. I first joined ACF more than five years ago looking for something to supplement my Karate training – something that would throw my body an athletic change-up from...Read More
I love (and hate haha) Crossfit in general, and at Albany CrossFit there are some truly amazing people. The community is amazing. However, I think I enjoy the coaches the most. They are very attentive, and genuinely want to help you. Each one is very knowledgeable, and not some juice-head wannabe. They keep the classes...Read More
"Early to bed early to rise makes a man (or woman) healthy, wealthy and wise." -Benjamin Franklin This is an homage to hard, diligent work, and speaks volumes about the ACF athletes who kick off the day's WOD before many of us even roll out of bed. There are two classes on the schedule...Read More
