10 Minutes for Max Reps
Power Clean 185
Burpee Bar Muscle-ups
Must complete 5 reps of each as a buy-in, then any rep scheme is acceptable.
We are all here to get better. To improve. To get stronger and faster and healthier and sexier. Just like anything, it doesn’t come easy. A lot has to be done with consistency to continually push through and surpass goals and personal bests.
Denise Roby. Where do I begin? Denise started here at CFES about a year and a half ago and is continually pushing herself beyond what she thought was “possible”. If we had asked her in the beginning if she thought she’d be walking 50ft on her hands, squatting 230lbs, and busting out toes-to-bar while competing in the CrossFit Games Open in such a short time, do you think should would believe it? Knowing Denise, she actually might say yes. But nobody knows that it comes with lots of hard work more than her.
Denise a regular at The Ocho (8am class, holla), at the flexnasty class, AND often gets to poke her head in both the powerlifting and olympic lifting classes. Did I mention that she’s now squatting 230lbs?!?! (Congrats on the PR yesterday!!!) There’s really not enough room on this page to describe how wonderful this woman is. She is truly such a bright light and an amazing inspiration to so many, including myself. Her success with CrossFit and her consistent improvement is a direct reflection of her hard work, dedication, and investment in herself.
Cheers to Denise! Thank you for being such an amazing role model and a treat to be around. Keep up the good work. We are all so proud of you.

True dat! When Denise came to my class about 7 months ago, she walked in extremely skeptical that a woman her “height” with no gymnastics background would ever be able to do even simple handstand. Now she can walk in circles around me then pirouette 6 times, do handstand forward rolls standing up in a pistol, and most recently.. on vacation…. Denise held a freestanding handstand for 45 seconds!?!? Gym record for sure. She’s a true badass and inspiration and we’re so lucky to have her at CFES!

And not only is she the badass who continues to inspire us through all of her accomplishments, but she is the one person I see encouraging everyone in the gym, every single day, regardless of whether they are in Foundations, Level 1, or happen to be a competitor or traveling Crossfitter. She will meet you one second and the next she’ll be cheering you on in the middle of the wod and telling you to pick the bar back up. It has been amazing getting to know this girl! We love you Denise!
