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: 
eCF Fundamentals.doc

Whether you are a new member or still in the trial week of your membership, toss me an email if you would like to attend, and include some times and days of the week that would work for you.  I will then add your course to the schedule and up to 4 others can join your class. (ecrossfit@gmail.com)

Workout of the day:

"Fight Gone Bad"
Move from each of the 5 stations below after a minute.  This is a 5 minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating for 3 total rounds.  The stations are:
  1. Wall-ball (20 Lb/15 Lb)
  2. Sumo Deadlift High-Pull (75 Lb/45 Lb) 
  3. Box Jump (20'')  
  4. Push-Press (75 Lb/45 Lb) 
  5. Row   
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises.  On call of "rotate," the athlete must move to next station immediately for good score.  One point is given for each rep, except the rower where each calorie is one point.  

Crossfit gives Carrie that feeling of accomplishment that makes other hard things feel very very easy.

One of the things I love about coaching is when you notice a huge difference in the little things of life - Climbing Stairs, lifting things up.  What was the first thing that made you say, "Whoah, I think this is working..." and how long did it happen after you started Crossfit?

 

Workout times:  6AM, 7AM**, 4PM**, 5PM (if you can't be here right at 5, you can come late - I've got to go at 6:15 though (you could finish after I leave))
 (* - less people, more 1 on 1 coaching)

Workout time:  NOON only
Also note that yesterday (new years eve) the 6pm was canceled.

A few changes beginning 2009:
  • Optional one on one sessions (1x a month) available to help with goals, form issues and weaknesses, diet, etc....  These will be just me and you and included with your membership dues.  Schedule these a week in advance with me either in person or email.
  • Open 5 days a week instead of 6.  The day off will usually be in the middle of the week when I have to travel for business.  (For example:  Only an AM workout time on Tuesday and a PM on Wednesday).   Among other reasons, I'm concerned about my athletes getting injured.
  • In the process of adding some 'apprentices.' Basically these folks will be learning, over the course of the next 8-16 months how to coach and train.  I haven't figured out all the details, just keep in mind its in the works.  If this is something you're interested in, let me know.
Also please email me your nomination for the 2008 eCrossfit MVP.  They will receive a good looking badge for their profile.  Please include in the email a reason or two on why you voted for this person.  And voting for Coach is not allowed!! haha

Workout times for tomorrow: 6AM* , 7AM**, 6PM (No Coach)

* - the more asterisks, the more 1 on 1 coaching you are likely to receive.  If you have an open schedule, try to gravitate to the times with more asterisks.  If it says (No coach) then there will only be someone there to time you.

Warning

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.
