Products & stuff

We don't hawk a lot of merchandise.  We only sell products that we, your coaches, use and consume on a regular basis.  You will never see whey protein for sale.  Some would say that we're foolish for eliminating a potential sale by excluding a widely used product.  But you know what?  Whey messes with my system, and I'm sure it messes with other people's systems.  "Well, what about egg protein?" you might ask.  I don't believe in liquid food; you need to chew your nutrients.  Is a clean protein shake better than a candy bar?  Yes.  But I'd rather that you get in the habit of eating real food.  That's what we're designed to do.

So there are only a few things that we sell, other than stellar coaching.  Gear is of course there, and that's for obvious reasons - to share your love of CFBB with the masses.  Eggs, fish oil, ab mats, jump ropes, and foam rollers are going to round out our store.  We use these products, and we want you to get healthier and better.  That's why we sell them. 

We received a new shipment of the Stronger Faster Healthier Omega-3 fish oil in two sizes - 6 & 10 oz.  There are two flavors available - lemon & tangerine.  Taste tests are available, just ask!  CrossFit Oakland has a great explanation of what Omega-3 oils are all about here.  We also have a regular supply of local eggs.  These eggs, besides tasting super yummy, are chock full of Omega-3s.

We also have t-shirts available, and more of the women's "burn-out" ones coming in.  They are great for working out in - and look sharp around town!  Foam rollers will be available in the coming weeks.  A foam roller is an incredibly valuable tool, and it's handy to get some mobility work done at home in the evenings.  If you have never used one, just ask one of your coaches about it.  You can also learn more here.

Finally, greet the new members showing up daily and help them learn the ropes.  And those of you just getting started - don't be shy!  Ask questions, ask for help, and have fun.  And most importantly - welcome to the CrossFit Blacksburg Family!

To the McCoy sign is just an expression!!!!
