Holiday schedule and a long-awaited announcement

11.19.2013

What’s up CFD? Big things are happening and I’ve done nothing to officially announce anything yet–UNTIL NOW!

As many of you can probably tell, we are quickly outgrowing our 2,880 square foot warehouse we’ve been in since our opening day. And yes, the rumors are true–we are moving to a 6,080 square foot new home that is being built as we speak! It should be ready sometime mid-to-late December, so please keep your eyes and ears peeled for the announcement of the BIG MOVE date! I’m sure we’ll need as much help as we can get when the day comes to help move everything, and it won’t be going far. With a little extra help from our community, I hope to be moved in one day (or at most over a weekend). By Jan 1, we should be already moved and settled into our new place!

Another announcement–we are nearing our 2-year anniversary at CFD! It’s crazy to think it’s been 2 years–it seems like we just had our 1-year party. I’m planning on celebrating it on the 28th of December, so please mark your calendars. We will very likely be moved into the new place by then, in which case, we will be celebrating it mostly at the new place. With that said, I’d still like to be able to say goodbye to our first home with everybody one last time. If you’re going to be around that weekend, PLEASE make it out!

Here is our holiday schedule for Thanksgiving:

Nov 27th (the day before): no 6:30pm class

Nov 28th (Thanksgiving Day): no classes

Nov 29th: 5:15am, 9:30am, and 5:30pm classes ONLY.

Also–keep your eyes peeled on WODhopper for new classes coming up. There will be Capoeira classes held Saturday at 11:00 and Sunday at noon, as well as beginner MMA classes Sunday evenings from 6-9. They will be instructed by Mike Quam, whose bio will be up shortly.

Thank you in advance for being understanding about the modified hours!

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide.

Our program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programs.

How do I start?

If you are interested in speaking to a coach and learning more about our philosophy on fitness and how we can help you achieve your goals, get signed up for an introductory class! New Foundations classes start the first full week of each month, so get in for your intro class to get signed up for the upcoming month’s classes!

What do classes look like?

Each of our sessions are 100% guided and coached. Our classes are structured in smaller groups so that everyone is able to receive some individual attention. At times, we may bring in other trainers to help coach so as to not overlook anyone.

We will always begin with a dynamic warm up. This will usually consist of a few movements that ensure that the entire body is ready for the session. At this point, you should feel an elevated core temperature and maybe have a light sweat.

Next we work on skill moves. These include a variety of motions such as Olympic lifting, body awareness movements, or any number of others that fit into our programming. Coaching plays a big part in this section. Many of the movements we teach will be outside of the average skill set. Part of our goal is to broaden your base, constantly introducing new and different moves.

At this point we begin coaching the workout of the day (WOD). Often, the WOD will incorporate elements from the sessions’ skill work. After adjusting the WOD to each individual’s skill and fitness level, any last minute questions are answered. Then, it’s 3 2 1 GO! And we’re off!!

Are the coaches qualified?

We pride ourselves in the knowledge of our trainers. Each and every one of our trainers are qualified to guide you along your CrossFit journey. We also believe that continuing education is paramount to the success our of members, so we help our coaches get any additional training that will advance their knowledge in the field.
