| | It seems like a lot of people like the earlier afternoon hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. It has really helped eliminate the congestion that we were having between 5:30pm and 6:00pm recently. The doors open at 4:00pm on Tue/Wed/Thur, stop in and check out the early crowd.
Please don't miss a few new items down below, a new member spotlight, Member Benefit Card, the Tuf-Chick event on Saturday, and the Westlake/Bay Village Rotary Club's Reverse Raffle announcement.
** Please note that we will be closed Saturday February 13th due to the CrossFit Gymnastic Certification Seminar being held at the gym. See the info below if you are interested in signing up for the cert.
I shot a quick video yesterday when Kate Rawlings was working out. It's posted on our website and titled it "Don't do this at a Globo gym, or they'll kick you out" Check it out and share it with your friends if you like it. Let's make this video go viral on the net. Kate Rawlings Crossfit Video
BTW- I keep adding more new pictures on our Crossfit Cleveland Facebook Page, check them out and tag people if you know them. You don't have to have a Facebook account to view these pictures. I'm also giving our website a little makeover. Keep an eye on it during the next couple weeks and let me know what you think ---> Crossfit Cleveland website.

Something New - Member Benefit Card
*** Staci and I have a new "Member Benefit Card" in the works and should have it rolling by early next month. Local businesses will be offering CrossFit Cleveland members special discounts - just for us. We'll be posting a list of all deals/discounts on the board at the gym and on our website. We'll be printing Membership Cards that you will need to show in order to get the discounts.
The first local merchant to make this list is the West End Tavern on Detroit. They have a $1 draft special on Miller Lite for our members every Monday night starting at 6:00p.m. Let's see if we can fill up their place with a bunch of CrossFitters after the 5:30pm workout this Monday, Feb 1st. West End's Co-Owner and CF Cleveland member Bob Shepherd says they'll also come up with some sort of appetizer special starting the following week. More details to follow. Thanks Bob!
Day: Monday 2/1/2010 and every Monday until they kick us out!
Time: 6:00pm-8:30pm
What: $1 Miller Light Draft Special
Where: West End Tavern, 18514 Detroit Ave. Lakewood, Ohio 44107
**For now, just tell them you are a member of CrossFit Cleveland for the deal. We'll have Membership Cards printed next month along with the list of local deals.
If you know of any local businesses who are interested offering our members a special discount, please have them contact me. I have several inquiries already from local salons, massotherapists and bars/restaurants. The more the merrier, send them our way. |
| Member Spotlight - Christine Mauersberger
I heard about CrossFit in March last year and thought this type of exercise was not for me: an overweight woman, approaching 50. I wasn't always heavy, however, I had gotten into a tough spot with a huge weight gain in my late 40's. So I thought, why not just do it? I started with the Executive Fitness Program in April 2009 & have been a regular member since September working out at least 4x/week. I've encouraged several friends to join and they're just as hooked on CrossFit as I am. Every aspect of CrossFit has helped me dial-back the weight gain and restore my overall health and happiness: from the expert coaching of Bill and Staci to the commitment members have for each other's success. |
Tuf-Chik rep coming to CF Cleveland Saturday morning 1/30
Cat Zohar from Tuf-Chik will be showing off their line of workout clothing for both woman and men this Saturday, January 30th, from 9:00am until 11:00am. Stop in and see what she has to offer, it's pretty cool stuff.
Tuf-Chik recently chose to sponsor Kate Rawlings during her CrossFit Games competitions. She'll be sporting their wares at the Crossfit Games Sectional Qualifiers held at the Arnold Classic in Columbus the first weekend in March and again in May at the Regional Qualifiers.
If you order something on Saturday, you will save shipping charges and get our CrossFit Cleveland logo printed or embroidered at no extra charge.
You can see their goods on their website, http://www.tufchikgear.com/
You can follow Kate's training on her blog at "Killer" CrossFit-ness

 Advocare products
Many of our members are really enjoying the new Advocare products we are carrying at the gym. Spark, O2 Gold and their Meal Replacement Shakes seem to be the most popular so far. The Arginine Extreme is quickly becoming the favorite pre-workout drink.
In addition to Spark, Staci has been using Catalyst and ThermoPlus, and has recently started using the Arginine Extreme. The Catalyst is said to preserves and helps tone muscles during exercise and the ThermoPlus helps stimulate metabolism. The Arginine Extreme supports muscle tolerance and endurance and the O2 Gold enhances your body's use of oxygen.
I've been combining the O2 Gold with Arginine prior to workouts for the past two weeks and definitely notice the difference during hard workouts. Kate now takes O2 Gold with Arginine about a half hour before every workout. She says it makes her feel like she can run through a brick wall. I think Advocare should put her in a commercial with that line!
Many of the top Crossfit gyms endorse and use Advocare products. This stuff really helps, and everything comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. You can even bring back a completely empty container and tell us you didn't like it and you get your money back. That's a pretty impressive guarantee. If you are interested in learning more about their weight loss and performance enhancing products, ask one of us. You can also learn more about their products online at Staci's Advocare website

 CrossFit Gymnastic Certification Seminar in February
We're excited to be hosting a CrossFit Gymnastics Certification Seminar on February 13th and 14th at CrossFit Cleveland. It is both for trainers and people interested in learning more about performing and teaching the gymnastic movements that we use in our workouts.
This training seminar is taught by Jeff Tucker and his crew from GSX Athletics. I've had a beer or two with Jeff and have watched him in countless videos - he's great and funny as hell. We are limiting on-line sign-ups to the first 15 people. Please check out the Crossfit Gymnastic Cert registration page for more details. Please let me know if you have any questions about this event.
We are also hosting a CrossFit Endurance Certification Seminar on the last weekend in August. I'll have more details once the registration page is online. Toby Jurging of SPC CrossFit in Hudson is also hosting a CF Endurance Cert in early June in case that better fits your schedule. |

You also get one ticket on the main board to win $2,000, plus there are a bunch of other prizes.
