Monday, November 11 - Veterans Day Hero WOD “Chad”
This will be our ONLY class today. Community WOD. 5pm. All are welcome.
“Chad”
For Time
1,000 Box Step-Ups (20 in)
Wear a Ruck Pack (45/35 lb)
Complete 1,000 Weighted Box Step-Ups as fast as possible. Use a 20 inch Box and wear a Ruck Pack that weighs 45/35 lb for men/women.
A Ruck is a weighted Backpack to simulate the gear carried during a hiking expedition.
Score is the time it takes to complete all 1,000 repetitions.
Tips and Strategy
When you go into this workout, know that your pace will be slow. You’ll break a lot, but long rests will result in feeling like the clock is moving backwards instead of forwards. Commit to short breaks (10-15 seconds) and then get back on the box.
Intended Stimulus
This memorial WOD should feel like one of the most mentally challenging workouts you’ll ever do. You’ll want to quit at least a few times. But when you make it to the finish line, you’ll feel both exhausted (physically and mentally) and extremely accomplished. And if you keep Chad Michael Wilkinson in your mind during all 1,000 reps, you’ll also feel like you’ve properly honored a fellow human being.
Scaling Options
This workout is meant to be grueling and long—an hour or more for most athletes.
Single-modality workouts, ones where there is only one movement, (like “Randy,” “30 Muscle-Ups,” and “Run 3k”) are tough—there’s only one movement, and therefore, nowhere to hide.
Beginners should significantly scale the volume and/or the load to stay safe. The prescribed version of this workout should only be tackled by well-seasoned athletes.
Intermediate
For Time
500 Box Step-Ups (20 in)
Wear a Ruck Pack (25/15 lb)
Beginner
For Time
200 Box Step-Ups (20 in)
No Weighted Ruck

Sometimes you've got to let everything go - purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything... whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you'll find that when you're free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.
Gym Announcements!
I’ve misplaced the pre-order info from the shirts in all the craziness, so if you pre-ordered one, please grab your new Pisgah t-shirt early this week. Payment can be made to Venmo (@pisgahfitness) for $20.
If you didn’t pre-order but want one, I’ll hang some up later this week, or feel free to look through the cardboard box above the shirt rack for something you like. If you grab one, please Venmo the gym! Please wait until Wednesday or Thursday to allow our pre-order folks to get theirs.
We’re getting rid of a couple of the most noisy and rusted Assault Bikes. If you’re interested in one for your garage or know of a group that would want one, see me ASAP. We’ll donate it or accept a small donation to the Pisgah hurricane recovery fund! We’ve got another new Rogue bike on the way and will be ordering more new bikes, so I want to clear up some room in that corner.

We’ve hit a snag with the hot water heaters and will need to call a professional this week, so not hot water right now. We’ll try and get that knocked out ASAP.
I’ll have time to replace the door on the front bathroom this week. The front bathroom has its sink working normally. I’ve ordered a new vanity for the bathroom that’s facing the gym floor. I’ve been using the bathtub faucet to wash hands when I use that one, so feel free to do that until we get a sink replaced in there.
Floors are gradually getting down. Slow process, but thanks to everyone that’s been helping out. Our new floor scrubber came and that’s been helpful in keeping them as clean as we can moving forward.
I’ve dropped two floor mats down. One at the front door and another by the roll up door nearest the stereo. It’s SO HARD to keep dirt and dust out of that space, but as much as you can dust off your shoes when you come in, it will help. Thanks!
I hope to order new rower monitors this week. Haven’t gotten that done yet.
Have a great week!

Gym Updates
Progress!
2 new Rogue Echo bikes have been delivered to the gym. We have one more on the way.
2 new Rogue flat benches are at Pisgah (now we have one for each station at the rig!).
Front room and bathrooms are painted, new trim, and we have a new door on one bathroom.
The toilet and shower are good to go in the “old” bathroom (the one connected to the main floor). We still have to replace the sink and vanity in there. Both showers need to be cleaned but I hope to get to that today (Saturday).
What’s next?
New commercial floor scrubber coming Tuesday to use on the rubber mat rolls.
Roll-away dumpster coming Wednesday to collect all the trash we’re producing and that is collecting in the front lot.
We’ll have to replace a bunch of monitors on the rowers.
There was some damage to the plumbing with the sink in the front bathroom. We’ll get started on that.
I’m getting rid of the big lockers and replacing with open cubbies. If you had stuff in those lockers, I’m putting them in bags and you can collect from me when you can.
Coaching Staff Update
Coach Hanna and her family relocated up to New Jersey in the storm’s aftermath to allow their kids to be in school. Hanna let me know she’s taken a new job here in Asheville as well. Hanna said the new work schedule, along with being currently displaced, has led her to need to step away from coaching duties at Pisgah. We’re so grateful to Hanna’s many coaching and community-building gifts! I’m assuming she’ll remain available for physical therapy and private coaching and we hope to see her back at Pisgah once their family comes back to the mountains. Thanks for all the awesomeness, Hanna!
Coach Jason Bowe has been helping with our Tuesday 5:30pm for awhile and subs in with other classes as well. I’ve added Jason’s bio below so you can get to know him a bit better if you haven’t already. We’re thrilled to have Jason with us!
Jason is a CrossFit Level 1 trainer, and also has completed his USAW Level 1, CrossFit Anatomy, and CrossFit “Spot the Flaw” courses. With 7 years of experience, he’s passionate about helping others reach their fitness goals. Outside of the gym, Jason works as a realtor. His hobbies include golfing, hiking, mountain biking, and looking for new adventures in the outdoors. He shares his life with his amazing girlfriend Sara and their two dogs, Jack and Olive.
