CrossFit Cleveland fitness news & updates 06/13/08

During the past year we have created a monster, and his name is Sean. He is reading this right now and smiling because he knows that it's a good thing.

Katie told her good friend Sean about our outdoor workouts and he started coming last June. Click here to read what he put on his Myspace page about his first year doing CrossFit workouts.

The truth is we have a lot of people doing incredible things and getting results similar to Sean's. Not just kids in their 20's, but plenty of people in their 30's, 40's and 50's. I'll be happy to link to their online postings as I see them. More to come I'm sure.

I wonder how many people signed up for a membership at a big shiny fitness center last year, went a couple times, felt like a dork because they didn't know what they were supposed to do with all that fancy machinery, and are now stuck with contract payments for another year. I'm glad Sean isn't one of them.

Why are we different? We are for people who finally realize that they won't get back in shape by themselves. Show up, do what we tell you, get results. It's really that simple.

I didn't say easy, I said simple. CrossFit is hard. It's really hard. Actually, it sucks - but only for 20 minutes.


New Summer Schedule

MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: Instead of being open from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., we will be having outdoor workouts every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. until after Labor Day. We'll be at at our normal location in the Metroparks. It's on Valley Parkway under the I-90 bridge, 1/2 mile south of the Lakewood Dog Park. Show up rain or shine since we have rain cover under the bridge. Please be aware that this outdoor workout is for current gym members only.

We are continuing the free Basic Introductory Group Workout on Saturday mornings at the gym on Madison. The new time for the Free Workout is 9:00am instead of 9:30am. The gym will be closing following this 9 o'clock workout.

You can find more details on the Basic Introductory workouts down below near the end of this message.

That's it for this week. You can find the old news below.

========================================


New Members get one Foundations Class at no charge

New members receive a one-hour Foundations Class at no charge when they sign up for any membership package. We'll teach about a dozen of our standard exercises to prepare them to join our group workouts. We stress proper form and technique for all movements.

If you joined recently, you are also eligible for this class. Just let us know and we'll schedule you.


CrossFit Kids

CrossFit Kids classes are held every Monday and Thursday at 6:15PM and run about 30 minutes. Please contact Paul in advance to register your child in an upcoming class. He can be reached at 216-407-3521.


CrossFit embroidered apparrel

We have two CrossFit logo designs that can be embroidered on pretty much any piece of clothing you have. Just go to the HomeTown Threads store located inside the Wal-Mart in North Olmsted and tell them you are a member of CrossFit Cleveland. The charge for embroidery is $12 per piece. You can buy stuff from them or take in your own clothing, new or already worn. Pretty cool, huh?

We also have the original Raw Fitness T-shirt available for $15 each.


Expanded hours available for Unlimited Members

Unlimited members who want to workout on days that we are normally closed can make arrangements in advance to schedules times for us to open for them. Please contact one of us to work out times. You can see our current hours and membership rate on our CrossFit Cleveland website.


Membership rates

You can pay for individual workouts, buy a punch card or join on an monthly basis. We don't require any term commitments or contracts. Rates are based on the frequency of your workouts. The more often you want to train, the less it costs per workout. See our Rates Page for more details. You can pay online or stop in and pay by cash or check.


Free Basic Class starts at 9:00am SHARP this Saturday.
We're having another free Basic Introductory group workout this Saturday morning starting at 9:00am 'on the dot.' The class is limited to the first 15 people who arrive so please be a little early. You'll need to sign in and fill out a liability waiver before you start the class.

If you show up after 9:00am, you may not join the class in progress
but you are welcome to stay and watch.

You'll learn the basic exercises that we use in our CrossFit workouts. We'll teach you proper form and technique while we warm up, then we'll give you a workout scaled to your fitness level. We're located at 17140 Madison Avenue in Lakewood. We're on the north east corner of Mckinley and Madison, two minutes off the McKinley/I-90 exit.

If you've been to our free workouts and want something a little more challenging, you may want to check out our other classes available six days a week. We have additional details on our website, CrossFitCleveland.com
