Schedule Changes!
We are excited to announce that we are making some changes/additions to our schedule!
The new schedule is now up, and will take effect on Monday, November 20th. We love that our community is growing and that we’re able to implement these changes. We’d like to thank all of you for being so dedicated and for helping us to grow. To show our appreciation, we’re answering the requests we’ve been getting from many of you.
The Additions are as follows:
MONDAY:
10am – 12pm Open gym

Open Gym
We’ve added open gym times based on your request. We’d like to give you the opportunity to do extra work on top of the daily WODs. There are now 7 open gym time slots throughout the week, and we are considering adding more in the future should these be a success. There will be a coach on duty, who won’t be there to coach you directly, but will be available for help or questions should you need them.
*The Competition Class*
We’ve added this class because we have a growing number of members looking to compete. The classes are absolutely sufficient for preparing you for a local competition, or for the open, we just wanted add something that catered to those with slightly more advanced skill and capacity. There are prerequisites to this class, and it will overall be more demanding than a standard hour of programming. If you do not meet the requirements, not to worry, our open gym times will give you the opportunity to acquire any specific skills you might need before joining the comp training session.
The session will be coached by Renee! There prerequisites for the class are as follows:
Able to do approx. 90% of classes Rx
Able to perform “Fran” Rx
Proficient with all weightlifting movements: Snatch (power + Full), Clean (power + Full), Clean and Jerk
Able to perform at least 3-4 Rx unbroken Handstand push ups (kipping or strict)
Come with a:
Competitive Mindset
Competitive Objective
And,
Expect constructive feedback
Class Expectations and Etiquette:
So there’s been a lot of talk since our post earlier this week in regards to what “Class Expectations and Etiquette” might mean. It’s not nearly as daunting as you might think, but it is something we needed to address. There are two main points:
1. Show up (on time)
2. Do the WOD.
1. Showing up on time means just that. Show up either on time or early for your class. We have committed to make sure that moving forward, we as coaches will be there 10 minutes before the start of a class, which gives plenty of time to change or do a pre warm up.
Your coach will cue the start of the class. If you are early you are welcome to warm up and mobilize, but be ready to start the day’s warm up when the class begins. If you are late, your warm up is up to the coach’s discretion, and will most likely mean warming up on the assault bike, or running. None of this is at all meant to be a punishment, its just that jumping half way into a warm up tends to break the flow of a class, so in case you are late, you’ll know what to expect.
- Do the WOD.This just means do what’s programmed for the day. We’ve got two main reasons for this. First, this is why you are all here, to get out of your comfort zone and test your capabilities, and to be coached by us. We put a lot of time and thought into what we program, and that’s just because we want to see everyone improve and excel. Second, our gym is getting busier, and its no longer possible to have several different things going on at once (for safety and fluidity). We’re stoked to see our members wanting to train more, and for that reason we’ve added open gym times to accommodate this. That being said, beginning on Monday, if you show up to a class time you are doing the class that’s been programmed for that day. If you need to modify due to injury or a specific need, that’s still totally acceptable; ask your coach and they’ll help you choose your mods.
The 6:30pm time slot (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) will be the only exception to this. It will officially be an open gym time, but there will be a coach on duty (Herb/Renee/Pete) to lead you through the Daily WOD if you like. The 630pm class is very quiet, but there are a couple of our members who attend primarily those classes, so we wanted to keep that option there for them.
That covers just about everything! We hope you guys are excited about the changes we’ve decided to make. Our goal as always it only to serve you better. We are open to hearing more of your feedback on how we can improve in the future, and strengthen our community further.
