A quick reminder that CF Cleveland will be closed this weekend due to the CrossFit Gymnastic Certification Seminar.
For members, we will be having a single workout before the seminar gets underway. Warm-up starts at 7:15am and the workout starts at 7:30am sharp. Please don't arrive late or you'll just be able to watch, no exceptions. We need the gym cleared by 8:15am to make way for seminar sign-ins.
There won't be a 11:00am Basic Intro Workout for non-members this Saturday, but we'll be back on our normal Saturday schedule next week.
You can read more about the Gymnastic Seminar down below, along with NEW info on the next series of Executive Fitness Starter Programs beginning in March, our new free "Out-of-Work Workouts, a new Family Membership option and a cool article about CrossFit training that ran in the Wall Street Journal last week.
BTW- I added a video of Russ doing a muscle-up and a bunch more stuff on our Crossfit Cleveland Facebook Fan Page, check out the pictures and tag people if you know them. You don't have to have a Facebook account to view these pictures.
My friend Kip Marlow sent me this link to an article and video about a wounded Marine who continues to use CrossFit training, take a look here Crossfit in the Wall Street Journal |

Free "Out-of-Work" Workouts - NEW
We held our first CrossFit "Out-of-Work" Workout this past Monday at CF Cleveland. We had five people attend and about a dozen more respond with interest in future workouts.
These workouts are free for anyone who is currently unemployed and actively seeking a new job. They can help people get in better shape and energize them in their job search. There is absolutely no cost or obligation to attend.
We are having another workout on Monday 2/15/10 at 9:00am. Pre-registration is necessary and there is a limit of 15 people. You can read more and find a link to the registration page here CrossFit "Out-of-Work" Workouts. As of right now there are 11 spots remaining.
We are encouraging all CrossFit gyms around the country to hold similar free workouts for people who are in transition. |
New Family Membership option - 2 workouts per week each
We've just added a new Family Workout Package that allows you and your family members to attend up to two workouts each per week. See our CrossFit Cleveland Rates and Payment page for details
Additional family discounts are available - please inquire if you are interested. |
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. |
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. |
Advocare products
Staci and I are starting to get picked on for being 'crack' pushers. The fact is the Advocare products we're carrying really work and people are loving their results. Never before have we considered offering supplements because we never knew which brands worked and which were just scams. Advocare works.
Kate Rawlings now feels the same way. Check out her recent blog post at her Killer Fitness Blog, and while you are there read all about her training for the CrossFit Games qualifiers.
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 |
Nothing To Do With Fitness
For those of you who like a good party, I've got one for you. The Westlake/Bay Village Rotary Club is having its annual Reverse Raffle & Silent Auction on Saturday March 6th, 2010 at Lakewood Country Club. All money raised goes to charitable causes both locally and abroad. At first glance you might think it's a bit pricey, but it's really not when you consider what you get. Dinner for two and all the trimmings at a private country club, music, dancing and, get this, an open bar all night with top shelf booze. Have you seen the drinks they pour at Lakewood C.C.? Big! You also get one ticket on the main board to win $2,000, plus there are a bunch of other prizes. Pat Graham is the Rotary Club's President and chairman of this event. Let's get a group together and run up his bar tab!
