this is her personal little um platforming area right here but we'll just start off by showing you our gym we're inside our 30 by 30 facility right here started off epoxied concrete floors put down some rubber matting just like um your typical crossfit facilities would have in it and uh we got our gym so you without a gym or without music i mean how could you have a gym so we got you know area where we got a lot of accessories and stuff right here we've got our stereo system hooked up where we can blast and rock out to um the music while we're working out i am very particular about being organized we've got benches hanging up on the walls you'll see a lot of rogue equipment i've over the last two years spent quite a bit of money investing in rogue equipment but i like my benches out of the way so i got a bench you know set up right there got a dip station set up right here where we can do dips and it's adjustable kind of cool this is a weightlifting platform this is where mckenna does a lot of her weightlifting and stuff right here we just were down in ohio she competed at the arnold classic and uh did uh really well you know there i think um hit her pr's she was in the u-25 nationals took third there so she trains here also trains she trains at fireside um crossfit facility and she's part of their elite weightlifting team over here we've got some pretty cool you know stuff on the wall right here a bunch of wards you know people in the gym that have won stuff we've got a killer picture of mckenna right here idaho state that's uh mckenna's rugby jersey hanging up on the wall there she was athlete of the year um at fireside so we got an award hanging up there so that's kind of cool too are you enjoying the video so far are you finding it helpful hit the subscribe button hit the notification bell that way you'll get notified every time we come out with more of this free content and now let's get back to the video so we got our tv so i'm a big sports fan so i don't want to miss out on the super bowl i don't want to miss out on any type of playoffs i like watching crossfit up here so we've got you know a cable tv system hooked up up here we've got our belts once again i like being really organized so we've got our belt rack right here and we've got my weight lifting belt so power lifting belt this is the belt i wore when i won the world police and fire games back in 1997 so it's been around for a long time i think it's got some stuff written on the back um 1999 usapl state record total i sat with that right there the idaho state record so that's my personal belt being organized like to have my bars organized these are all of our rogue bars we've got a piro's demis bar hanging out right here this is mckenna's personal bar best bar in the world right there and then i've got my olympic lifting bar right here so we've got rogue bars olympic lifting bars we've got uh mckenna's competition plates so we've got true competition plates right here rogue that mckenna gets to use and work out with you know because it's really important for her to have the best stuff we've got our rogue blocks right here so we can train off of doing blocks inlaid in the floor we got hardwood inlaid in a floor that way we've got a weightlifting platform but it's actually completely level with the rest of the flooring absolutely super cool so that's hard wood that i cut and then laid down to the epoxy and it's right at the level um the level of the the rubber itself we've got an inversion table i've had three back surgeries so i know everybody else hates the inversion table in here and they want it out but i use it every single time i train because of my back problems then i also do my abs on it inverted upside down one of the cool things i did over here in our facility we do handstand push-ups on the wall you might be able to see there's a line up there i epoxied this wall right here with a water-based um epoxy right there so your feet will slide on the wall really easily you won't mark the wall up and get it all scuffed up with your shoes and dirt and stuff so it's extremely slick so as your feet are rubbing on the wall they'll glide up and down really easy so the epoxy goes all the way across the top we've got rogue blocks of course you can't do crossfit or you can't do weightlifting without chalk so we've got our um chalk carrier right there so we're going to walk around oh we did over here we've got of course you got to have a road clock a lot of the stuff we do yo um is timed and stuff we've got one of our competitions we did swolberry crossfit luke and i competed that was our um plaque right there got a lot of race jerseys up there i used i raced bikes for 13 years so some of my race jerseys that i won up there are displayed up there so we're gonna walk over we'll come to the next corner again it is a 30 by 30 it's got 15 foot ceilings i'll show you the rope when we walk around to the other side of jam but we're going to come over here on this side where we got our um rogue monster rack right so now we're on the far corner of the gym this is where we got our rogue rack where we got all kinds of things set up we've got rings where we can do ring rows do all kinds of different things we've got our crossover cords right here for doing a lot of shoulder stuff chest stuff hooked up we've got extra place because we got a lot of big guys training in here luke's got you know multiple friends that come here and train and they're pretty big pretty strong use a lot of weight we've got exercise balls up there ropes we got more bars got all kinds of bars over here we got curl bars because i do like to work my biceps we've got some shrug bars all kinds of pretty cool stuff here's over here we've got um our vests our weighted vest this is my weighted vest says super dad on our right here so we do train you know with weighted vest so i got my weighted vest i've got two of them those are mine we got mckenna's down here luke's down here this is where we do our pull-ups let's do do our muscle ups we've got a lot of accessory equipment hanging up over here all kinds of bands for stretching things for doing dips uh knee wraps for doing squats we've got boxes of course you need boxes to do box step bumps box jump overs we've got multiple multiple different types of boxes here we got soft boxes hard boxes this one i sanded it was out in the weather i bought it um off of facebook marketplace i sanded it clear coated it with multiple clear coats of a 2k poly so it's nice and protected nice and slick round routed the edges so if you miss a box jump up you don't tear your legs all up tear your shins all up and now we've got um cardio you you've got to be able to do cardio and crossfit and you know it's kind of some of the things in crossfit they're using now is the concept 2 rower we do have a concept 2 rower this is kind of old school we got an assault bike um crossfit used ucu used to use assault bikes we do have an echo bike over here i'll show you in a minute but we got assault bikes and echo bikes so here's our assault bike um because some of the crossfit competitions and the older gyms do have assault bikes we've got an air runner that's probably our new newest piece of equipment which is super super rad that thing um in the winter time when it's snowing outside you can run indoors and this thing absolutely works incredible um i don't think there's anything better for running on than a machine like this it's absolutely insane i absolutely love it we do have a concept skier over here we'll show you our concept skier um that way you get your upper body cardio work um got our um all of our dumbbells we got dumbbells all the way up to 80 pound dumbbells there because i do like to do a lot of dumbbell stuff i do a lot of bodybuilding type workouts too along with crossfit i kind of do a variety of different things besides just crossfit a lot of the guys we've got one of the guys that comes here matt he is a hybrid athlete so he has got a youtube channel doing hybrid training um luke is more of a crossfitter just straight up mckenna's a weightlifter we got just a variety of different people working out in here we come over here to the opposite far corner and show you some of the other cool stuff over here all right so here's our uh you know dumbbell rack we do once again i like being totally organized this is where all of our jump ropes are hanging and i think most of those are mine it's a little bit uh ridiculous because i've gone through a bazillion you know jump rope speed ropes trying to find the one i like and now there's finally um one i do finally came up with that i do like and it's matt frazier's um hwpo rope right there the rest of them i don't use anymore i did i was having a problem you know doing double unders and coordinating both hands and i decided to use a cut rope i cut a rope and split it in half and um now i can work on the timing on both hands individually and you can tell when one messes up really easily so that's kind of cool do have over here for working forearms got a forearm you know um machine right there because having a good grip and crossfit is important got wall balls because we do wall balls and crossfit of course you gotta have um yo a peg board to climb the wall when i first hung that thing up i um could barely even i couldn't even get to the top and now i can do it fairly easily so that's our pegboard there mounted on there kind of cool gotta have a squat rack um i know crossfitters are very anti-mirror but um hey uh you gotta have a mirror to do certain things you know when you're working out over here i was talking about our um rogue echo bike this is what crossfit uses now and most of those um most of their events and i got to say of all the stuff in here and of everything about crossfit i hate that thing worse than anything um the person that designed it didn't take um short people like me into consideration and the thing absolutely sucks we've got um you know our weight plate carriers once again i like to be organized we do have um rainy hanging out in here she loves to hang out in here when i work out we have other guys bring their dogs in here but he likes to bring the dogs to work out and hang out with them here's another pull-up bar so when we got multiple people we've had like up to eight people uh working out in here at a time doing wads and stuff and so you got to have multiple stations to be able to um you know do certain things now up here of course what would crossfit be without having rings and so that's one of the nice things about having high ceilings i went up there in the rafters did all kinds of reinforcing and stuff and set up rings so we can have our rings in our facility right here and of course you've got a climbing rope because in crossfit you're climbing ropes all the time we just got done with the quarterfinals and i had to in 10 minutes i climbed the rope 11 times ours isn't quite regulation because our roof's not high enough we're two feet short from being regulation but you can still uh train and work out you know in here this is kind of cool this is one of the things i found on rogue it's actually a thing to massage your back i've had multiple back surgeries once again so that thing is kind of cool you can adjust the height over here you know what would a gym be without a refrigerator that had um all kinds of drinks so we had jedediah's nelson stopped by one of the best athletes in the world when it comes to adaptive athletes i think he's number one in the world dropped by a bunch of rain products we've got coke in here and what would crossfit be out after a hard workout having a light beer right there so we got a refrigerator we've got a shoe racks um we've got a water fountain got hot and cold water and of course um i'm a big supporter of the military um so we've got um a representation of all the branches the military here on the opposite wall over here i started painting um you know motivational um like um slogans up there the mountain never gets easier you just get faster and i came up with that sort of thing about that racing bikes you know going up the hills and stuff i mean it's from the first day i started racing to after 13 years the same hill always hurt the same i just got a lot faster so it's kind of the same with crossfit it never gets any easier you just get faster you can do more reps and stuff so i'm in the process of got a little projector where i'm projecting screens up there and putting my motivational slogans up there uh boise crossfit you know was getting rid of one of their signs um kicked down that sign i thought it looked pretty cool in our gym so i hung that thing up there but um that's basically it this is where i train this is where um you know a lot of uh friends and family come here and train it's an awesome facility you know built right here i'm gonna have some upcoming events where um we're gonna do some challenges here where anybody can come here to earn um uh prizes and stuff a paint life supply co and stuff and gift cards so that's gonna be coming up here in the near future so if you wanna come work out in this gym show what you got stay tuned for those you can win some cool swag win some gift cards to paint life supply co so anyways there it is the gym i know some of you wanted to see where i train now you got an idea where i train and we'll give you some pretty cool footage um of us training in here i just got done doing uh the crossfit open the quarterfinals i did um all let's see i did four of the vents right here videoed them so you'll be seeing those coming up pretty soon if you've got anything you want to see when it
