Paul got a great write-up in the Plain Dealer this week, along with a short video on their website. I posted a link to the video and article on our CrossFit Cleveland website here. Thanks Paul!
If you didn't get a chance last week, please take a minute and cast a vote for us on the FOX8 News website for the best gym in Cleveland. http://myfoxcleveland.cityvoter.com/crossfit-cleveland/biz/130295 Whether you've been to one of our free workouts, come all the time, or are still just lurking in the shadows, we'd really appreciate your vote. It's time more Clevelanders knew about CrossFit. Also, please forward this link to your friends, post it on your spaceyface page, and wherever else you can think of, thanks.
Both John Gilbert and Pat Graham nominated us in the running, thanks guys!
Saturday 10/11/27 we'll have member's workouts at 8:15am, 9:00am and 10:15am. We'll be open until 11:00am on Saturdays now that summer is over. The Free Basic Intro Class will remain at 9:00am. Please be on time, late comers will not be able to join a class already underway.
Lost Camera
We can't find our Sony digital camera that I use to take shots at the gym. I think we lost it at the marina or Kelley's Island, but thought I'd ask if anyone accidently ended up with a camera and didn't know where it came from.
Club 3000 competition
I've got five bucks that says Sean will win this month's chase to 3000 reps. Anyone care to put some dough on someone else? This comment will most likely cause our current champ to move into the gym for the next week to set me straight!
Katie picked ring pushups AND sommersaults for October. Do them in any combination, just get to 3000. The sommersaults can be forward or backward, traditional, shoulder rolls or even dive rolls -- just as long as your feet go over your head and you come up the other side! See one of the trainers for help scaling ring pushups to fit your fitness level. Oh, One more thing - she said all reps have to be done at the gym, our gym, and you don't count reps that happen to be in that day's posted workout.
If you can't imagine doing 3000 reps of anything, we still urge you to join in the fun. Pick a lower number, like 1000 or 1500 or you could challenge someone that you know and see who completes more reps during the month. Post your totals on the Workout of the Day page on our website or in your square on the Goal Board at the gym.
Two spots left for the next Executive Fitness Starter Program
Starting on 11/4, Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7:30pm and Saturday mornings at 7:30am. The 6-week program costs $195 per person if paid on or before October 15th and $249 after. Please contact me for more details and to reserve your spot. See down below my sig for more details on this program.
That's all for now, see the old stuff below.

========================================
Executive Fitness Starter Program
This program is designed for those of you who are out of shape and want to get started on an exercise program that really works. If you finish, I guarantee that you will be stronger, faster and just plain feel better. You will lose weight, but how much is really up to you. You don't have to be an executive, just someone between the ages of 18 and 80 who wants to get back in shape but doesn't know how to start.
You will train in a small group of people (5 max) three days per week. A CrossFit Certified trainer will instruct and manage your group at all times. You will learn the correct way to perform our Level I and Level II functional exercises using proper form and technique. All exercises will be scaled to your current ability and fitness level. If that sounds hard to pull off, it is. That's why we get the 'big bucks'! There are several recommendations on my LinkedIn page if you care to check them out.
Sean's caption contest
For those of you with a sense of humor and a little spare time, check out the new pic on our website and see if you can come up with a funny caption. Sean was up to his tricks again, check it our here at CrossFit Cleveland. Post your caption to the Comments section. Winner gets a free CrossFit - RAW Fitness T-shirt.
New equipment additions We've recently added another new squat rack, 55lb and 36lb kettlebells, a second dumbbell rack, heavy duty shelving and a few hundred pounds of olympic plates and dummbells. Paul made two really nice 20" plyo boxes that seem indestructible. He plans on making at least one more soon. We ordered two new sets of gymnastic rings and plan to buy one or two more high quality olympic barbells in the next week or so. If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to see us add in the future, just let one of us know.
