Crossfit Canada – Madlab School of Fitness TM is the first Crossfit affiliate in Canada, the only government sanctioned fitness school of its kind and a world leader in professionalizing the fitness industry.

Crossfit Vancouver was founded in 2004. At the time, it was one of the first five affiliates in the world and the very first Crossfit outside of the U.S. Now there are thousands.

Crossfit is an open source protocol for fitness. It is not a franchise; each affiliate delivers the product in its own "unique" way. How we deliver Crossfit to people is very distinct, we have learned a lot since 2004, and we have done it the hard slow way that is the trademark of excellence.

  • The next MadLab tournament begins Thursday, November 17th at 6 pm.

    We’re going to follow a slightly different format this winter. The competition will include 6 teams. Each team will go head-to-head against another team each week and will receive either two points for a win or zero points for a loss. If you lose in a tie break, you will earn one point. The top 3 teams after the first four weeks of competition will advance to the Playoffs.

    The league will begin Thursday, November 17th and take place on consecutive Thursday evenings for five weeks. Each week, you will also have a chance to pick a ‘Hero’ for the night. Details will be released in the next couple weeks.

    If you want to be part of this Mad Lab tournament, post to comments.

    On November 17th, you must bring your Fitness Rating score with you, even if it’s not totally complete yet.

    Also, CrossFit Van got some more love in the CrossFit Journal. Here’s a transformation video of two of our very own: JOURNAL

    WEDNESDAY WOD

    ZOE

    30 Muscle ups for time!

    For those people who need progression for the muscle up, instead of the regular pull ups + ring dips, let’s do:

    a) try the low rings, kneel down right under the bar and let’s try to work on that transition from the pull to the very deep ring dip. If you don’t have a ring dip on your own, you can do the 3 pulls + 3 ring dips with the band separately = 1 muscle up;

    or

    b) bar muscle ups for those who can do it with or without the band.

    Fancypants.

      I was wondering if we were going to ever do this workout again in the box, good call Fancy Pants ;-)

    2. Dan says:

      What’s the verdict on how we are dealing with team member absences and subs this time around? It was annoyingly controversial last time around almost every week.

      I want in, but I know for sure that I will be away for 1 of the weeks, so it makes me hesitate.

    3. Reto says:

      I’m in for Madlab…but only if Patty gets the missing banners made up for the last two rounds.

    4. Dash says:

      Wohoo IN!
      Poker has done an awesome job on how it will all work its going to rock!!!

    5. Eagle says:

      I’m in but I’ll miss the first Thursday and I’m flying in the following Thursday. If it doesn’t work I’ll be an alternate but I rather participate.

    6. Jeordie says:

      I want in ladies and gents! how do I apply?

    7. eunice says:

      Yes, the details are in Poker’s rule book – it will be very clear cut. This will be the most exciting Mad Lab yet.

      I’ll make sure the banner goes up!

    8. eunice says:

      PS I’m in for Mad Lab.

    9. Gunnar says:

      I’m in!

    10. Dan says:

      Fuck, he prepared a rule book?

      Is there a “Patty” clause in it? Gotta keep it interestingly unpredictable… I’m thinking something along the lines of “Once in the five week period, Patty is allowed to come up with a new rule on the spot that may or may not be consistent with any other rules”

    11. cube says:

      ooh- i want in. fun!

    12. Kermit says:

      In. Can’t wait throw down with the Dash! Oh, and Reto I second your comment. I want my damn flag!

    13. patty says:

      Poker’s book won’t be fool proof Afghan…..it will be interesting

      3 of my “suppliers”came in to do an estimate on the goddam banners….both jammed on me

      I will have the banners by the final……….to be hung by past winners.

    14. PUP says:

      This took me 11 seconds to find. It’s about a 5 minute drive from Crossfit.
