New stuff: Starting this week, you will see Fundamental Classes
popping up. These are 5 classes that include many of the basic movements
of Crossfit, short workouts utilizing these movements, and lectures talking about many things relating to fitness. These are
for new members to get accustomed to the movements. Eugene Crossfit
Veterans are welcome, but not required to attend. Size of these
classes will range from one person to five. They will be listed as
Fundamentals 1, Fundamentals 2.....Fundamentals 5. Note that if nobody
is signed up for a daily WOD class, it could be canceled and changed to
an elements class.
Here is the syllabus for the Fundamentals course:

10:00 - Crossfit style games (These will be a couple group Crossfit-style workouts) Different from Crossfit, but the same! :)

The Deadline to signing up for the Crossfit Games Northwest Regional Qualifier is TODAY. (April 15th).
Click here for the link.
The Qualifyier will take place on Saturday, May 16th in Seattle. If you'd like to go, I'll drive the van up there and you can catch a ride.
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO SIGN UP.
The cost to register is $75. There will be 2 events.
The top 5 girls and the top 5 guys from the northwest will go on to compete in the Crossfit Games July 10-12.
If you're thinking, "I have no chance of winning", that doesn't matter. This is going to be an incredible experience. It will blow your mind.
Some other questions that I have heard:
"I'll compete in 2010." -- You're going to need the experience to get up and perform. In addition, coming to this is going to prep you mentally and give you a TON of motivation to fuel your entire year. Plus you know what to expect.
"Can I scale it?" -- Yes, they will scale for you. Don't worry about where you are at in ability right now, if you want to go; go.
Most of all, if you think you are going to regret not going, you should probably find a way to come. :)

We finally got word that our first batch of eCrossfit t-shirts will be arriving soon! If you would like to ensure that you receive your preferred size and/or slogan, click here to order now.PS - The online store has a few little quirks: After you click on the t-shirt you want, select the size you would like from the drop down menu. Once that is selected, there is an "Add to cart" link you should click on, not the "return to the catalog" button. To go to your cart and finish your order, there should be a gray "Shopping Cart" link in the top right corner, just under the "online store" tab. After you click on that the process should be pretty straight forward, but if you run into problems, please let us know.
PPS - The women's shirts are more form fitting than the men's shirts. We ordered extra men's shirts just in case some women didn't want the fitted shirts.
PPPS - Don't look too hard at the pictures in our store! This is my (Kristine's) quick attempt to photoshop the slogans on a green t-shirt. The real deal will look MUCH cooler.
Hi, Kristine again and yes my title is totally silly. I just noticed, however, that the Register-Guard is having a Reader's Choice Poll and one of the options is "Hippest Gym for workouts."
Obviously I think we have the hippest gym around and thought you guys deserved to have the opportunity to vote - even though there's only 20 days left in the contest (who knows how long ago it started).
It's worth getting our name in there I think so help us out and click on the bright blue button to your right. Thanks!

Hey guys! I just got back from the work in Chicago (bleh!) and the Dutch Crossfit seminar this weekend (yay!) and I have to say its good to be back! I can't wait to see each of you and missed you a lot!
I learned a ton from the seminar so expect some changes (both immediate and ongoing) that involve you getting fitter faster. Some of these changes include:

I learned a ton from the seminar so expect some changes (both immediate and ongoing) that involve you getting fitter faster. Some of these changes include:
The number 1 thing you can do for me - not get hurt feelings when I scale you DOWN. I am not scaling you down because I don't think you can do it, I am doing it to maximize your power output. So when I say to do less reps, run shorter distances, use a lighter weights, or substitute something - I am doing it to make it HARDER not easier. Just trust me and use the weight I tell you to use. =)
- I'm going to be adjusting your workouts A LOT more based on power outputs. This means I'm going to have to be on my game as a coach and knowing your ability so I can give you the right type of workout to make you fitter, faster. This also means
- Workouts will be shorter
- Workouts will be more intense
- Your workout should end at about the same time as everyone else.
- Workouts should deliver exponentially more results than what you were doing before. (me and you will test this)
- I will be programming the workouts.
- Remember, you come here for the absolute best fitess - and I have thought long and hard about each of you, and the changes I believe will bring us to our goals faster!

Ahh! Nothing felt better than to come back and see you guys!
Seeing a dozen of you do 70 burpees in the dark, moist park Friday evening was pretty amazing! And I think I saw smiles on all of your faces afterward! That is pretty wild!
Each of you that were there Friday night are getting a 'No Whining' badge for your profile.
We really have an awesome group. I feel like there is nothing we can't do.
Lots and lots of changes going to be happening in the upcoming weeks / months. Don't worry, they are all good - and they all involve us growing Crossfit in Eugene and you getting more fit.
I want to communicate to each of you our plans one on one. Plan on at least a half hour to go over the stuff I've come up with so far. Let me know the times that you are available and we'll get it done.

The hand surgery went well and I am able to get up and move around. I should be able to open up the box as early as tomorrow (Monday).
Since I have all next week off - which times work the best for you?
Which one of these would work for you?

Call or email me if you have any questions.
Don't try Eugene Crossfit if you want to keep the drudgery in your workouts. There are plenty of workout plans that deliver little results, are boring, and don't really have a goal in mind.
Crossfit is very bothersome for people who like workouts like these.
Crossfit will change the way you think about your workouts, and by doing that you see amazing results. You immediatly learn to love to workout, to push your body, to try new things. The program you recieve here will make you fitter faster than anything you can imagine. Every client that has given it a month will testify.
You don't have to be an athlete to come. Heck, you can be in the worst shape of your life, I scale you back and ramp it up at a steady and safe pace. You'll have the results that you never thought possible in no time. And once you get there, you'll be thirsty for more. (instead of yo-yoing)
Eugene Crossfit is NOT a gym. It is a fitness school. In time, along with getting fit, you will learn technique on everything, how to apply intensity, the aspects of fitness, how and what to eat, recovery, motivation, virtuosity, flexibility and much more.
Give me a call or shoot me an email for your free 1 on 1 introductory session. Lets get started now.
