Crossfit News and Updates - 05/06/2010

CrossFit Cleveland
May 6, 2010
I guess people do actually read this email because we had a whole bunch of people stop in last week and join. So many in fact that we have reached our capacity for the afternoon and evening workouts and are starting a P.M. workout waiting list for new members who join after today, 5/6/2010. You can see more details below.  Current members are still able to attend any of workout times, A.M. and P.M., as long as their membership does not lapse.

Thanks to Ron and Dan for bringing us a couple big truck tires to flip and beat on with our new sledgehammers. We also just got over 500 sq. ft. of Zebra grappling mats. Everyone loves pictures so I posted a bunch of new workout photos on our CrossFit Cleveland Fan Page here.  You do not need to log in or have a Facebook account to view this page.
 
 
Closed Saturday May 8th 
 
FYI - The gym will be closed Saturday May 8th as we travel to Logan, OH to support Kate Rawlings at the CrossFit Games Regional Qualifier. 30 men and 30 women will be competing to earn a place at the Crossfit Games competition in California this summer.  Only 3 men and 3 women will advance from this regional event.  Learn more about the Crossfit Games.
Membership Waiting List for P.M. workouts
We're growing steadily and have reached capacity during the afternoon/evening workouts. We have started a waiting list for new members (who join after today) who wish to attend the P.M. workouts. New members are able to attend any of the morning workouts and will be placed on a waiting list for attending P.M. workouts until a spot opens for them. Existing members will be able to attend any workouts they choose as long as their membership remains current.  It's important to know that if you take a month or two off, you will be subject to the waiting list upon your return.
 
If you've taken the past couple/few months off, this might be a good time to get back in before the waiting list starts tomorrow. You can register on online payments page of our website here.

We do have expansion plans in the works that include additional workout times and more space. Please stay tuned for details.  Thanks to everyone for helping us grow this fantastic community.
CPR Certification Class Monday May 17th at 7:00pm
Staci has scheduled an Elyria Fireman to hold a CPR Certification course at CrossFit Cleveland on Monday May 17th at 7:00pm at the gym. It will last approximately 2 hours.  Please let Staci know if you want to attend, or put your name on the sign-up sheet at the gym  The cost is $35 and the certification is valid for 2 years. There are a limited number of spots and payment is needed to reserve your place. You can email Staci at staci@crossfitcleveland.com or see her at the gym if you have any questions.
 
This class is open to anyone, not just gym members.
CF Cleveland's Organic Produce Co-Op

Staci and Tricia go down to the Cleveland Food Terminal every other week and purchase organic fruits and vegetables by the case. They get a boat load of food for not a whole lot of money, then they split it all up into 6 equal shares. They spend $300 total, making each 'share' cost $50.  The minimum buy-in is $25 for 1/2 share of produce. If you are interested, please add your name to the sign-up sheet at the gym or email staci@crossfitcleveland.com.
The next trip will be the week of May 10th. Staci will announce the exact day by Monday.
You can see a few pictures of the past couple batches of food here on our Organic Food Co-op post on our website.
 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.
 
Skip Chase of Mount Baker CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting coach Mike Burgener and Jeremy Thiel of CrossFit Central are all very respected members of the CrossFit community.  They are all big fans of Advocare products, mainly because they work. When we learned that these three guys were involved, we agreed to take a closer look. We feel it an obligation to bring our members anything that can improve their results. Advocare happens to fit in perfectly. Hardly a sell-out as some label it.
 
Our morning trainer Kate Rawlings 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 other 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
