This past November Point Blank CrossFit partnered with with the York Regional Police ECOTRIP program.
What is ECOTRIP?
ECOTRIP is a no-cost year-long program run by the York Regional Police that services the community by providing youth the opportunity to receive mentorship from local police officers.
Learn more about ECOTRIP at http://www.yrp.ca/ecotrip.aspx
From November through January we joined with the the York Regional Police’s community services officers in providing a health and fitness component to the ongoing mentoring between police officers and the communities youth.
The officers and students attended 8 weeks of instruction and training in CrossFit, as well as guest speakers from different branches of the Police Services, as well as outside groups such as Youth Speak. The ECOTRIP program was a big success and we are looking to our involvement in this year’s program.

Congratulations to Boxer Todd Adams who not only fought a very technical fight to win his fight, but was also awarded ‘Fight of the Night’. Todd was very clean with shots, threw some well excuted uppercuts, and gave his opponent a standing 8 count in the 1st round setting the tone for the rest of the fight. Todd won unanimously and received the honour of winning ‘Fight of the Night’. This is certainly a testament to the hard work he put into his training. Congratulations Todd you represented yourself and pointblank with pride!
Thanks to Kru Faizal for stepping in to corner for Todd.
Fitness Legend and ”Godfather of Fitness’ died yesterday at the age of 96. Although most people now know Jack Lalanne from his Power Juicer commercials, before that he was responsible for getting millions of people active with his fitness show that ran from the 50′s through the 70′s and lead the way in getting people interested in their health and fitness.
Despite advanced age, LaLanne continued to work out every morning for two hours. He spent 1½ hours in the weight room and half an hour swimming or walking. When interviewed by Katie Couric on NBC’s Today show, LaLanne said his two simple rules of nutrition are: “if man made it, don’t eat it”, and “if it tastes good, spit it out.” (Source: www.wikipedia.org)
I’d say Lallanne was the original CrossFitter.

We declare Festivus the official holiday of CrossFit. So we will be hosting a Festivus celebration during and after our CrossFit classes. We will begin the celebration with the mounting of the aluminum pole (a 45lbs Aluminum lift bar), then move on to the airing of the grievances (time to rant about the world), and finally end with the feats of strength (a Festivus strength WOD).
We will then be serving non-Paleo/non-zone treats and Egg Nog (heavy on the Nog). So we invite all our CrossFitters to come out for a little fitness and fun. The fun start at 7pm.
We will be closed from Friday Dec. 24th to Monday Jan. 3rd. No classes will be running during this time. We will continue our CrossFit WOD over the holidays featuring workouts you can do at home.
Classes will resume on Tuesday January 4th. Be sure and check for our new class schedules.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
