Labor Day weekend: special Monday hours

Fran Mason — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:09:53 +0000

Saturday will be as usual: free starter class at 8:30 AM plus regular CrossFit classes at 9:30 and 10:30. Monday, we will have two classes: 8:30 and 9:30 AM.

Thanks for fun in the sun!

We had fourteen CrossFitters working out in Leschi Park this morning in sunny, cool weather. Uphill broad jumps were my favorite thing to watch, as well as Dana sprinting around that circular path like there was a pit bull after him. Oh, and practicing burpees outside was very fun, wouldn't you agree?

Good job everybody, and thanks for enjoying this change-up to the routine. Back into the gym next week for the normal schedule.

Saturday: workouts in the park every 30 minutes

Fran Mason — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 17:24:44 +0000

Saturday, something different! Meet at Leschi Park (across the road from the BluWater) for workouts starting at 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, and 11:00. If it's pouring... come to the gym. Fingers crossed for good weather.

You don't have to sign in for these every half-hour workouts - just show up.

The free 8:30 class is in the gym as usual.

Updated – MindBody bug

Fran Mason — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 17:55:22 +0000

MindBody Online, our scheduling software, has a bug that prevents you from seeing "Registered!" on a class you are registered for. Instead you see the "Sign Up" button. Until they fix that problem, the way to see what you are registered for is to click My Info and then click My Schedule. Sorry for this confusing issue. It has been happening for about three weeks as far as I know.

Further info: The above instructions on accessing "My Schedule" also apply to canceling out of a class you have booked. In the My Schedule screen, a red "cancel" link appears on the right side next to all classes you've booked.

Deadlifting

Dana's a very intense CrossFitter who puts everything he's got into his workouts and lifts--a good role model. Nice job on this 200 lbs. Like most people, when the weight gets very heavy, at first he doesn't stand up QUITE all the way. Can you see the difference between his first two lifts and his last three, when he corrects this? Nice job Dana!
