Alternative Athletics is a new and different type of fitness and health club in Billings MT. We have a low client to fitness trainer ratio. There are no machines to confuse you. Whatever your take on science and religion, there were no exercise machines when monkeys fell from the trees or Adam was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Your body was not genetically designed to isolate muscles or even muscle groups. It doesn’t matter if you are throwing a fastball, carrying a victim from a fire or placing a box on a high shelf, everyday actions require your muscles to move in sync with one another. These multi joint movements create functional, athletic fitness for daily life.

As the 1 year anniversary of the gym we are starting, today, the 1 year ironman burpee challenge. Today we do one burpee, tomorrow 2 burpees until next anniversary when we will do 365 burpees if anyone is still in the competition. There will be a limited addition t-shirt for the person who makes it the longest and or everyone who is still going strong next year. Best of luck and congratulations to the whole Alternative Athletics Tribe!!
The “where you at” t-shirts are in, but it was a small order so they will sell out fast.
March 9, 2010: April Oly Lifting Meet
From Tyson at CrossFit 4800
Hello everyone, i apologize to those that have emailed me and i have taken my sweet time to get back to you. I have been super busy. We have set the date of April 24 for the spring meet. After kicking around several dates this has been the most feasible. We will follow the same format as before with standard weight classes and USWA rules. It is 10.00 per person with a BBQ to follow the competition. I will send out a more formal announcement soon with all the details. We urge everyone who has competed before to come back and do it again as well as for all those who are first timers to come and see how much fun we have! There are also rumors that formal nationally ranked lifters Brett Tuddsbury and Justin Braun of Bozeman will knock the dust off and come and compete. it is sure to be a good time!. Email me with any questions and or confirmations of being able to attend as well as those gyms that have people wanting to compete. I would like to have
a rough idea as soon as possible about the number of people Last fall was a huge success with upwards of twenty competitors. we had a good female turnout and would like to see the same! Thanks and we’ll see you soon. Tyson

March 8, 2010: Quick Note
Had to share this from Mel and Jenna Marsh.
“Just had to let you know Jenna had an amazing state swim meet. Her chest still hurt but she blew the competition away. I guess PT is helping. She set 4 state records and is now ranked 13th in the US for 14 yr olds in the 50 Free. We’re headed to Seattle tomorrow for her big meet. She still wants to do Alternative but might have to wait till summer. I think she is seeing what strength can do for you.
Take care,
Mel”

March 5, 2010: Quick Note
First,
for those who might possibly be toying with the idea of heading to the Mountain Sectionals for the 2010 CrossFit games, registration will be closing this Saturday at midnight. Last I had heard there are 11 spots left for men and only 65 women have signed up out of 150 spots. If you can’t do the workout’s Rx’d they will allow scaling, but this will take you out of the running for regionals. The top 30 men and women will move on to the next level, so women have almost a 50/50 shot right now!! I’m heading down on Friday and coming back Monday (Mar 19th-22) with room for one more person. If you are looking to sign up click Here!!
This poster cracks me up!!
Second, Saturday’s WOD will be held at 10am, but the Olympic Weightlifting with Phil will be pushed back to 11 am. There is getting to be to much overlap between the two classes.
Third, unless we hear of a new time for Sunday’s run (Bjo it is up to you) we will be meeting in Pioneer Park at 8am. If this changes I will post it on the main page by Saturday night. Bjo if you can get you hands on a link to the race course I would appreciate it.
