Summer CF Kids Class Schedule

As we transition into June the CrossFit Youth classes will be moving from the afternoons on Tuesday/Thursday to the mornings on Monday/Wednesday.

June 10 – August 21: Monday & Wednesday 8:30am (First Monday of summer through the last Wednesday of summer)
June 17-21: No kids classes because I will be out of town
I have been asked a lot by other parents not currently enrolled in our class about the summer schedule and there appears to be quite a bit of interest.  I pray many of you will be able to make the adjustment but please do not wait too long to commit because we will need to cap the summer attendance at 12-14 youth depending on the attendance.  If you stay current on your membership your spot(s) will be reserved.Membership Details Recap:
The membership will work the same way it has been working throughout the year which is by purchasing an 8 pack for $100 (discounts apply) with a 2 month expiration date.  If you are coming both days a week it will of course not last you two months so once you use your final workout your 8 pack will be automatically renewed the next time you come to class.  This will accommodate those of you that can only make it once per week as well since you have two months to use all 8 workouts.  If you have any remaining workouts from this spring afternoon schedule they will roll to the mornings to be used up before you need to purchase a new 8 pack.

Last week of May (when CFC is officially closed) and first week of June: We will have class at 4:45pm on Tuesday each of these two weeks only (May 28 & June 4).  Keep this in mind when planning your final two weeks of summer with us at the gym.

We have an in house fun competition coming up this weekend.  It won’t be anything traditional CrossFit so the equipment needed is not traditional gear.  We’ve been building stuff in our garage and its got us both feeling nostalgic.  

Back in the day, this is how CrossFit was done.  In 2006, we were the 100th-ish affiliate and we all were making our own gear.  Slam balls were basketballs filled with sand and duct taped.  Box jumps were one height and built off of plans from .com.  Pull-up bar systems were made with 4×4′s and pipe in the back yard.  Dumb bells served for kettlebell swings and any possible other thing they could.  Rolled up towels came before abmats.  We shared gear and probably did more heats on workouts as well as more chippers so there’d be options on the limited gear.  It was a different time.  Kinda miss it.

  

Much more common today are gyms started with backers and $30,000+ worth of equipment.  Everyone needs their own bar and box and pull up station.  CrossFit gyms should be mini-globogyms and beautiful and pristine.  I don’t know if its the potential for making money that draws this or a disconnect with the original anything of CrossFit but lots of folks are not getting old school CrossFit.  It is what it is and the world moves on. For those of us who experienced the fun of making our own gear before Rogue or Again Faster, et al., there is something not the same about ready made boxes.  There’s a small group of us who can still say remember when.  I do and I miss it.
