CrossFit Games

I’m down at the Games this weekend, and the news I have to report so far is the Northwest is coming in HOT. Everyone is killing it. Portland’s hometown hero is Jerome Perryman, from CF Human Evolution Labs had a pretty good start, and promises some great shows. Chris Spealler of Park City took first with an amazing time on an extremely challenging workout. CrossFit Fort Vancouver’s affliate team is currently sitting in FIRST PLACE. More updates and hopefully some pictures if I can remember to take some to come.

Happy 4th!

Hey Everyone, hope your 4th is going great! Just a reminder that we are now switching to SUMMER HOURS REVISED, as detailed in the email I sent to all members.

M-F we have class at 6:30, 9am, and 5:30 pm only. No 5:30 on Fridays. 9am on Saturday

WE WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY FOR THE 4TH OF JULY.

Get out on your bikes, kites, etc, and we’ll see you Tuesday!

Summer Hours start Monday (thats tomorrow!)

Hey Everyone,

Summer hours are officially underway now. That means ALL you FOLKS that insisted on 6:30AM, 6:30PM, and even 7:30PM classes… you got em! So I hope to see you in those classes this week! After 2 weeks of this schedule, we’ll re-evaluate and cut 3-5 classes. The ones least-attended. So get on in to your classes for the next two weeks to secure them for the summer!

Survey Says

Hey Guys!

I’m off to Calgary. Christine is steering the ship while I’m gone. Ryan is helping out some, and will hopefully be back to coaching some nights for us soon. He is getting situated in the new job in PDX and will hopefully be able start helping again now that SUMMER HOURS are coming! Theres a few things to note about the survey.. Please, pipe up ASAP if the upcoming changes are going to pose a severe problem for you. We are going to dial the noon and 4:30 classes way back, and dial UP some 6:30am and 6:30pm action for you all. This seems to be what a large majority of you want. A few have requested 7:30pm. I’m skeptical about how many folks are going to make that late of a time a regular time they come, so I’m going to pilot 1 or 2 and see how  popular they are. I think there will still be a couple noon classes and a couple 4:30..  Also.. mobility class is in the works. This should be happening in the next week or two.

We’ve re-installed the community board, so watch it for announcements and current schedule. Its by the entry door. I’ll ask for ideas and such there from here on out.

I’ve had several requests to post the workouts earlier, and several to not post it at all. So my response is… I’ll continue to post them, and if you find knowing the workout de-motivating, consider not looking at it, and just come and find out in class..

Here’s the survey

Pictures, announcements, survey

Another WEEKEND IS HERE!! I have several announcements. Please read this whole thing!

• The Pullup bar deconstruct/reconstruct project is underway. Pardon the mess. Soon we will have much more room to play in the gym! Thanks to Tony and Garth for all your hard work on this!
• I’ll be out of town next Thursday-Monday. Be nice to Christine while she steers the boat please!
• We will start some trial run times during the month of June to see what the response is. Keep an eye out for flyers with new times to check out. I’ll post on here too. July will commence with new summer hours.
• Mobility classes coming soon! We should have 1-2 classes a week of stretching and connective tissue strengthening work. You can add these into your quiver of classes you take at CFHR. Let me know if you need to up your monthly pass size. We’ll be adding an “unlimited” membership beginning July
• Are you intersted in a Nutrition seminar? I’m hoping to have Scott Hagnas of CrossFit Portland / Cooking with Scotty up at the end of June for an evening of Q & A, tips and tricks, and basics of Paleo. Other topics will include pre/post workout fueling and recovery food, portioning, and some tasty desserts!!

And NOW a message from our sponsors…. Just kidding. Heres Chris from CrossFit Park City, teaching the Butterfly Kip

Summer Schedule

Hey everyone, summer is upon us and I am working on a new SUMMER SCHEDULE. I want to hear from you. Please get yourself in summertime mode, and choose carefully. Don’t choose everything! We need to, of course, be as efficient as possible and have classes that we know folks will be attending. We’re looking into an early morning class, and a later evening one. I know  you want to play in the sun while the sun’s shining and do your hard work when its not full heat. Do you think you’ll come Saturdays? What about Wednesdays. Wednesdays are famously slow, so we just want to see what you know about your schedule. Tell us as much as you can. If I didn’t ask you something you can share, write it in the notes. Let us know what kind of other classes you may find interesting. I gave you a few ideas. Thanks so much, and thanks for a fun week,  you’re all working real hard over here.
