Nutritional Seminar
This Saturday, December 08th will be the first nutritional seminar that we will be holding this month. We will also be holding a session on Sunday, December 16th. The question that we get asked most often is. "what should I eat to get leaner?" or a version of that. In an effort to help answer that question, we teamed up with Whole9Life, a Paleo Lifestyle company based in the USA. We have put together a 90 page manual on Paleo eating...the what to eat, why to eat it guide to getting your nutrition in line for optimal health. Sam Mitchell will be presenting on our behalf. She has her masters in nutritional science, is an athlete and has some great tips and advice on how to improve our diet. She has put together a presentation to go through the manual and taken it a step further to give you the science based answers to your questions. Cost is $50/person and you get to take the guide book with you. You will also have time to ask Sam any specific questions at that time. Sign up sheets are at the front desk, so please let us know if you will be attending. If you want to bring anyone outside of the gym, you are more than welcome, just sign them up at the front.
1st Annual Reebok CrossFit 306 Christmas Gala
As Halloween ends, I guess it is time to move on to the next holiday....Christmas;). December 01st marks our 1 year anniversary at 306...what a year it has been. We usually celebrate holidays with some epic WODs, but we decided we wanted to add something special this year. We will be having a 'gala' night at the Saskatoon Club. Award winning chef, Anthony McCarthy is putting together an amazing menu for us and it gives us a great opportunity to come together in something other than our spandex;). More details will be coming, but pencil us in for the 22nd...I know holiday calendars fill up quickly. Looking forward to celebrating with you!
Building a winning tradition.

Halloween Spooktacular recap
The day started with the incredible Hulk patiently waiting for his fellow CrossFitters. A man right out of the eighties would walk in first followed by Joe Dirt and Thing 1. Within an hour the gym was packed with cavemen and cavewoman, 80's fitness fanatics, Pipi Longstocking, a girls pajama party, but the question remained, where's Waldo? After 4 Wods including FRANkeistein, Count Dracula, BATTATA, and the Epic finish, the A team would sit alone a top the podium. Thanks everyone for another memorable day at 306!
Halloween Spooktacular!
Tomorrow Saturday the 27th is our Spooktacular event. No regular classes are schedule. We open at 10:30, WOD in costume at 11:00, come and enjoy the festivities!

306 Puts forward a dominating performance at the BCBD!
Well as I sit here sipping on my latte and reflect on the last two days of competition I can't help but smile. After two crushing days of WODs our team fared incredibly well.
In the women's Brute competition, Chandra took home top spot in the clean cluster, Viki took top spots in the toes to bar WOD and the final, and Laurie won the Chipper. So 306 won all the WODs in this category, incredible.
The final standings saw Laurie Thomson take first, Mel finished third, and Viki made and won the final WOD but was edged off the podium and finished fourth.
In the men's Brute, Nathan would edge out Jeff Woo in the final WOD and bump Jeff off the podium. Nathan would take third overall, The Woo, fourth. Stephane finished just outside the top ten and placed 11th.
In the Ladie's Beast category Laura Wehrkamp took on the top female competitions from the Prairies and finished in 5th place. She finished 3rd in the Handstand/KBS couplet and third again in the clean cluster.
In the men's Beast category. Leo continued to show that he has a heart of a lion and strung together his first set of MU and fought hard through all the WODS and finished in 26th. Aaron "Wonderkid" Parker would finished in tenth after qualifying for the finals with dominating performances in the Toes to Bar WOD (3rd), and the MU/thruster couplet (5th).
Coach had a great couple of days, winning WOD 3,6,and 7, and taking second place in both WOD five and eight, ultimately finishing second.
