5pm class at VCF!
On our way to Carson for the 2012 CrossFit Games (post to come soon), six of us from NorCal CrossFit decided to hit a WOD at Valley CrossFit, just like last year! I really wanted to stop by because every time I've been here, I had a ton of fun, learned new things, and got to play with some cool new equipment that we don't have at our gym. But on top of that, I really wanted to see the new location in person!
We arrived here way earlier than expected and the gym was actually closed. Just as we were about to leave to checkout CrossFit Mean Streets, one of the trainers pulls in and lets us in. Great timing!! They let us hang around and do our own thing for a bit until the 5pm class. So many new equipment to play with! They now have ski ergs, the Rogue Cannonball grips and the giant basketball-size version of that, Rogue matador, watt bikes, 30# med balls, and a section of the Killer Kage! I'm sure I missed a bunch, too.
Bonnie led the 5pm class and this is what we did:

I've been here three times so far and it is still one of my favorite boxes to visit! There are so many other boxes in the LA area to checkout but I always have to stop at Valley. After the games it looks like VCF now has the equipment used in the "Double Banger" WOD. Looking forward to coming back!
