Trap Bar Deadlifts


The hand position allows a more vertical pull and changes the leverage from a traditional straight bar deadlift, also keeps the back flatter - not rounding - and therefore safer from strain. Because of all this, you can actually go very heavy - in my opinion much heavier than with a straight bar, and it doesn't bang your shins up either!

Fast Trac & CrossFit


We encourage all our athletes to not only spend time participating in our Fast Trac classes, but to also to incorporate time in our sister company; CrossFit . Both classes work on total conditioning and we pride ourselves on being the most intense and challenging workouts in the Inland Northwest. Fast Trac will always have its focus on speed, agility, quickness and explosiveness. CrossFit specializes in not specializing. At CrossFit we aim to be great at the following 10 general physical skills:
  1. endurance
  2. stamina
  3. strength
  4. flexibility
  5. speed
  6. power
  7. coordination
  8. balance
  9. agility
  10. accuracy
All Fast Trac memberships allow access to both CrossFit and Fast Trac classes, this is not the case for our CrossFit members so take advantage athletes. 3, 2, 1, ... Go!
