CrossFit Goes To The Movies!

Here’s a fun outing idea for all you CrossFit loving Zoners out there:

Josh Kalef of CrossFit Taranis is putting on a screening of the epic CrossFit Movie, “Every Second Counts”.  The screening will take place on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 from 8:00 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. at the UVic Cinecenta, located at 3800 Finnerty Rd.

Every Second Counts takes an inside look at the CrossFit culture and community, where time on a stopwatch reigns as the supreme measure of performance. Those who reach the elite ranks in the burgeoning sport of CrossFit push themselves beyond limitations imposed by the mind and flirt with the limits of physical capacity. Human perseverance has never voluntarily gone this far.

The film chronicles the dramatic journey of five athletes as they prepare for and compete in the most comprehensive test of fitness on the planet, the CrossFit Games. The road to this grueling two-day program of extreme challenges reveals what it takes to be the best in the world. The climactic finish, with its surprising turn of events, shows beyond any doubt that the winner of the CrossFit Games is the fittest person on earth.
