We're trying something new this weekend. Actually a few things.
MEMBERS PLEASE NOTE: Instead of being open from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., we are having a members-only outdoor workout at 9:00 a.m. Saturday 6/7 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 only be closing following this 9 o'clock workout.
You can find more details on the Basic Introductory workouts near the end of this message.
We have a few new things listed this week, don't miss anything:
1. Outdoor workout for members this Satruday (above)
2. New time for Free Introductory Group Workout - 9:00am (above)
3. BIG TIRE! New pictures and video from Monday's Outdoor workout
4. Dylon - remember him?
5. CrossFit adds distance off the Tee!
6. "Lurkers" workout on Monday 6/9 at 6:00pm
7. New Summer Hapkido Program is starting
8. It's that $ time of the month again ;>)
New BIG TIRE to flip and slam with sledgehammer - pictures & vid
I've posted a few new pictures and a video from the Outdoor Workout we had this past Monday. Thanks to Brian and Jason for getting us a big truck tire to use outside in the parking lot. We used it for sledge hammer slams during the workout and then for 'tire flip sprints' afterwards.
Brian set the record time for the tire flipping, see the pics and video here on on our CrossFit Pictures and Videos page.
*** Reminder - If you want to get on the 'text alert' list for future outdoor workouts, send me your cell # and the name of your wirless carrier.
Dylon has found a new home at CrossFit South County (L.A.)
Many of you remember Dylon, he was our very first Founding Member at CrossFit Cleveland. He's now working out at a new CrossFit gym in Southern California where he lives. He's looking pretty good here doing overhead squats, and not so good here after a 'Cindy" workout! He promises to stop in for a workout the next time he visits sunny Cleveland. We miss you man!
CrossFit adds distance off the Tee
Several of our avid golfers recently told us they are getting 20 to 30 yards more distance on their Tee shots. Pat Graham said that hey maybe it's 20 yards farther into the trees, but it's 20 yards none the less!
Lurkers' Workout - Monday 6/9 at 6:00pm
We're having a special free introductory class and workout for all of you who have been reading these emails but have not yet stepped through our doors. Every week it seems like someone comes in and tells us that they have been wanting to show up for months but just kept putting it off. Most say they were a bit intimidated to start. After they watch and meet a few members they realize that it's just a bunch of regular, well most of us, people working out together, they are glad they finally came in.
So, Monday 6/9 at 6:00pm we'll have a special introductory class at the gym - just for people who have never been inside our new location. No sales pitches, just a workout.
You no longer have an excuse! Bobby, Marie, John, Brad, Andrea, Pat, Gail, Dean, Michelle, Ann, Deborah, Ron......I could go on all day! See you all on Monday.
Please let me know if you are coming so I can buy enough beer for the cool-down. Here's a map to CrossFit Cleveland in Lakewood.
New Summer Hapkido Program
Master Chris Price of Four Gates Hapkido has a new Summer Hapkido program at CrossFit Cleveland. It's open to the first six people who sign up. Check this link to read more about it and watch a couple cool videos.
That's time of the month $

CrossFit Cleveland fitness news & updates 05/22/08
A few of our members returned from long trips recently. Katie spent the weekend down in NASCAR Country, Brian was in California and Troy just got back from two weeks in Italy. All three undoubtably used some of their time doing CrossFit workouts.
Brian's "extreme burpee" picture has already made it on our website. I'm sure Katie will have some funny stories to tell us, and maybe pictures too! You'll have to ask Troy where he did his pullups in Rome - I'm not writing it here.
BTW - You might be tired of reading about what I have to say about our workouts so I've included what some of the people in our CrossFit Cleveland Meetup group have to say.
"Crossfit workouts are challenging for a person at any fitness-level. You will progress beyond your perceived limitations and then you'll do it again. I'm addicted...you should be too..." - Samantha
"It will show you your weakness and where you need to focus to get stronger, and then accomplish it." - Belinda Gruszka
"If your looking for a great workout, you really need to check this place out. Its monday morning, two days later and I am still sore." - Eric Zupsansky
"This is the most challenging, effective and fun fitness program out there, and you won't find a better group of people to get involved with." - Sean
"This is a fantastic meet-up group. Every Saturday you get to work out with a great group of 15-30 people. And it is FREE! Come out! The trainers can scale a workout for you!" - Troy
Please tell me what you think about our workouts, group or facility. Who knows, maybe I'll use your quote on our website or in a future newsletter.
Thanks!

I posted few new pictures from one of last week's workouts on our CrossFit Pictures and Videos page, there is a great pic of Suzanne, Jane, Lisa and Justine following a grueling Fight Gone Bad.

CrossFit Cleveland fitness news & updates 05/14/08
Congratulations to Sean on getting a muscle-up on video last week. He's been working hourly on this goal for the past few months. Way to go Sean! You can watch the vid on our CrossFit Cleveland website or stop in and watch him do it live. Sean joins a short list of our regulars on the "muscle-up" board, Paul Z., Jason H., Brian E., Scott M. and Matt B. plus visitors Angel, Jose and Mark. By the looks of it, Mike D. will be on there in a matter of days. I, on the other hand, might take until 2010.
A muscle-up is like the biggest pullup you'll ever do followed by the deepest dip, done on a set of gymnastic rings. It basically a non-event for gymnasts who routinely do them with little or no kip. For the rest of us it's a real challenge.
We have a few new things listed this week, don't miss anything:
1. Our new logo is almost ready
2. New members get one Foundations Class at no charge
3. CrossFit - RAW Fitness T-shirt order
4. CrossFit Kids resumes normal class schedule
5. New Summer Hapkido Program
6. CrossFit Horse video (well it's not new but it's cool)
New logo almost ready
Katie R. has done a great job designing a new logo for CrossFit Cleveland. She has a few minor changes to make before we run with it. Check out the latest draft here CF Cleveland logo and let me know what you think. We'll have two versions, one with and one without the kettlebell background. Thanks Katie!
New Members get one CrossFit Foundations Class at no charge
New members receive a one-hour CrossFit 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 - RAW Fitness T-Shirt order
We have several requests for our original CrossFit - RAW Fitness T-Shirts so we are placing a new order this week. Let me know your size and color if you want any. They cost $15 each, men's and ladies styles are available.
CrossFit Kids
The first class of kids seem to really enjoy the workouts. 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.

CrossFit Outdoor workouts starting in May - but you MUST reply to this message.
We'll be having outdoor group workouts for our members several times per month at various locations starting in May. There will be Text Message alerts sent several days in advance notifying you of the time and location.
Most workouts will be after working hours during the week with the possibility of lunchtime workouts based on everyone's interest.

CrossFit Kids classes started this week
Paul and Nancy kicked off the new Kids program this past Monday night. Classes will be held every Monday and Thursday at 6:15PM. Please contact Paul in advance to register your child in an upcoming class.
We have discounts for Unlimited members and family plans are available. See any of us for details.
We are the first affiliate in Ohio to be certified to run the CrossFit Kids Program.

CrossFit 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, and you can pick any color combos for the lettering. You can buy stuff from them or take in your own clothing, new or already worn. Pretty cool, huh?
Pictures and videos of workouts
I'll have new videos up next week. My bet is that you'll see Sean's first Muscle-up video this weekend. He's sooooooooooo close. Watch our Crossfit Cleveland main page.
