Last June Jason and Candace Dudgeon opened Code Blue Crossfit at 111 South College Street, just off the square in Cordell. Code Blue offers the CrossFit strength and conditioning program which consists mainly of a mix of aerobic exercise, calisthenics, and weightlifting. Hourlong classes typically include a warm-up, a skill development segment, the high-intensity “workout of the day” (or WOD), and a period of individual or group stretching. Performance on each WOD is often scored and/or ranked to encourage competition and to track individual progress. The Dudgeon’s journey to Code Blue Crossfit began three years ago when both Jason and Candace started CrossFit training in Clinton.
