IN OTHER NEWS! Our newest member has arrived. Randy’s daughter appeared on February 27th. For those of you asking if he/she has arrived… She has! The tired dad sent an email, but didn’t mention her name. It sounds like they are having a blast… Welcome, baby Goetz!

I heard a rumor that tonight is the LAST two-for-tuesday at 6th Street Bistro. That’s tonight. I propose a complete take-down by CrossFit Hood River. Your burgers (no bread!) will be well earned after said workout. I’ll see you there after I have finished with On-Ramp, around 8PM. Save me a seat!

WE ARE MOVING!!

I have officially signed a lease, and we are moving in two weeks, next weekend March 26th-27th. The new address is 1816 Belmont. It is in the building behind Tim Foley’s physical therapy practice. The yellow building, about 3 blocks west of the Armory. We are more than doubling the space we’ll have, and going through a decent upgrade, overall! So, you’ve got 2 weeks left of the bliss of barbed wire fence and tanks. Enjoy it, and, hopefully, plan to help move next Saturday and/or Sunday. See photos below!

Another thing to notate, with this new space, we lose perks of military space. Costs are increasing, size is increasing, we have more space to heat and more floor to cover in rubber mats, and, soon, more equipment to purchase and more classes which will mean more trainers/trainer time. Please, get your friends in here. Grab some business cards from me – tell your friends, partners, colleagues. We need more members, to keep the dream alive and growing! Help us to help you get your fitness to levels you’ve never experienced before. We’ve got nowhere to go but up from here. This new space is going to be amazing.

From Belmont, you see this building first.

Check out the video below. Nice work by this girl, a contender for the games. Watch her determination.

So you may have heard me saying this, but I’m going to start pushing this more around here. We are obviously all about SUCCESS here. Everyone has a success, every time they walk through that door. But how often do you fail? I want more failure. Lots more failure. This, to me, is the bigger measure of success. Push yourself farther than you think you’re capable. You might just surprise yourself. And don’t stop there. Be happy about failure. It means you tried, and pushed beyond your capabilites. That is an uncomfortable place to be, and we have to get comfortable there. Keep pushing those comfort levels, farther and farther. that line in the sand will go further and further back, and before you know it, you will be blowing your own mind with your strength, determination, and spirit. Get out there and fail you guys.

There are a few variations on the Burgener Warm-Up, and we’ve been doing a variety of them. Here it is straight from the Horse’s Mouth. Coach Burgener is talking, and his daughter, Sage Burgener is doing the lifting. You’ll see, in this one, there is no snatch drop. We will keep doing them despite that. It’s important to work on the “getting down” part of the snatch. Click the pic to see the video.

What a weekend! We had a great Saturday 9am class, and an intense opening to the Saturday Advanced workouts. A few pics…

both team members must complete all tasks before continuing forward.

You must be a member to attend this class. Saturday – 10AM. They will most likely be starting a little after 10 as the 9am class often bleeds into the 10am mark. Hope to see you there. I can’t wait. I reserve the right to work out with this workout. These are often going to be team workouts. If you are attending this class, you should feel quite solid in your movements and abilities, and be comfortable in a less monitored environment.
