CrossFit Yongsan updates...

New things are happening with CrossFit Yongsan and we want to keep everyone up to date on the future and reiterate what our expectations of all of you are.  Bear with me...

The new CrossFit/TRX/P90X/"Functional Fitness" space is finally remodeled inside Collier Field House so we officially have room to workout inside this winter.  Anyone who was there for the final (frozen) "Fran" workout outside last October can appreciate how far we've come.  No more bouncing off each other in the back racquetball court and no more getting kicked off the gym floor either...

That being said, we will plan on moving all the stuff out of "the Shed of Tears" and into the Collier Field House 'CrossFit' room this SATURDAY at 0900.  I will bring some stuff to wipe everything down before it goes inside so we don't get any of Henry's muddy bumper plates on the floor inside.  Then we will hit a cool WOD inside to the amusement of all the 'hamsters' on the ellipticals.  Lastly, we will put all of the equipment away in an orderly fashion so that other gym goers are encouraged to put things back where they found them and keep our space neat, clean and organized throughout the week.  Anyone will be able to use our equipment, we only get priority during our regularly scheduled classes.  (Don't forget we are dressing funny, eating crap food, and partaking adult beverages afterwards...)

Since we have room to CrossFit properly again, we no longer require a Foundations class before you can start working out.  Brand new folks are welcome anytime, and can "just show up" to the next scheduled workout and we will put them through their own modified workout different than the veteran's WOD.  Start bugging your friends to come and workout with us.  I would like to get back to the 40 people at every class we had last fall now that we have equipment and Collier is ordering more.  You can still sign up for Foundations if you want to take your workouts to the next level or if you want a nice two-hour refresher.

Our 'new' schedule will be TUE-THU from 1730-1830 and SAT from 0900-1000.  Every three weeks or so, we will have a Saturday Foundations class from 1000-1200 so we don't have to cancel or move around the SAT WOD.

Veterans, this means that you have to become more autonomous.  Get to the workout ON TIME and get started with the warm up.  By now you should know what parts you need to warm up and how to get them there.  If not, we can hold your hands and walk you through the "mega warm up"... TWICE.

Veterans, this also means that you know what the workout is when you show up.  Every workout will be posted to BEYOND THE WHITEBOARD at least the night before so you can start getting equipment organized for the workout.  Post your workout results to keep track of your progress.

When Collier's equipment order comes in, we will look like an actual CrossFit 'Box' with a 20-person pull up rig taking up some of our new space, 9 shiny new barbells and more bumper weights than we would know what to do with.  There will also be a ton of kettlebells and dumbbells for very large group classes available for check out from the front desk for unit PT at 0600.

We still have our hard and fast rule of everyone knows everyone's name since our COMMUNITY is what makes our workout better than anything else around.  If you see someone you don't recognize, introduce yourself, help them out, or ask them for help and get after it.  If you don't know everyone's names when the workout starts, you owe BURPEES...!!!

Speaking of COMMUNITY, it is only two weeks until our FIGHT GONE BAD 6 workout slash fundraiser.  We only have 14 people signed up on our fundraising team.  Get signed up and start emailing and facebooking your family and friends.  We have already raised $1,800+ and we should be able to bust $3,000.  Remember you have to raise or donate $20 to do the workout on SATURDAY 17 SEPTEMBER.  Raise $150 and you get a free FGB6 tshirt.  We will celebrate with a post-WOD barbeque.  We will also take walk-ins the day of who want to pay the $20 and try out the workout.  It will be scaled to 4 ability levels: Men, Women, Intermediate and Beginner so invite everyone you know!!!  We will start setting up at 0800 and go hot with the first workout NLT 0900 on 17 SEP...
