Run of the week 6/52
February 5th

I had a great workout this morning on the Gold Coast: "Griff" which is 2 rounds of 800m run forwards and 400m run backwards.

In that vein I propose 3 options for this weeks run of the week either:

A) Griff

B) 3 x 800m

C) 6 x 400m

More running may just improve your running - good job to those that are hitting the run of the week consistently.

Coffee Anyone?
January 27th

 You may have noticed we have done some rearranging of the Country Box and moved in a coffee area.  By Monday we should have our Nespresso Pods and have our coffee machine fully functional.  The coffee area is going to work like this:  It will be $3 to purchase a pod and a cup.  Our coaches are not baristas, so the pods and cups will be on a help yourself basis.  There will be an honesty box for payment with them.  If you need change for large denominations, see the coach before they get busy with the next class or client.  You then head down to the machine and make yourself a lovely coffee to enjoy with friends or take with you on your way to work.  The machine is very simple and instructions are on the wall. If you do hang around at a time where another class is starting, please be considerate of other athletes and our coaches who are still working out by keeping noise to a minimum and staying out of their way.  If there is no coach staying at the box following a class, you may need to get your coffee to go and have a catch up with friends at another time.  There are options for long or short black coffees for our whole 30 participants,  or a cappucino or machiatto for those who like some real milk in their coffee.  Coconut milk will be BYO!  We hope this area will be well frequented and that it builds community within our gym.  Invite the person you have never seen at the gym before to stay for a brew and a chat.  The City Box also has a coffee machine, which should be functional by Tuesday and will work exactly the same way as the Country Box.  We are still working on a hang out area there... stay tuned, it won't be far away.

Hard'n Up
January 27th

An update about Hard'n Up.  Unfortunately there was massive and unexpected interest in the Team Competition for Hard'n Up.  We were unable to register a team this year.  CrossFit Townsville will be represented in the Wildcard Individual Comp by Brett Fforde, Zac Komur and Jeff Swaffer.  And of course Stafford O'leary will be competing in the Elite Individual competition.  We are very disappointed not to get our teams on the paddock, but we are not the only ones who missed out and can appreciate the enormous amount of work that goes into organising such an event.  We will try again next year!!  Until then, we look to the CrossFit Open and begin to focus on the big one!

CrossFit Kids
January 25th

Some general information regarding CrossFit Kids for 2012...  The timetable attached begins on Monday 30 January 2012.  Please note there will no longer be kids classes on a Friday, but we will have classes on a Saturday morning.  Tuesday and Thursday Junior (4-6yrs) and Kids (7-11 yrs) classes are pretty full, so if you are new to CrossFit Kids the Monday and Wednesday classes still have vacancies.  Jungle Cats (Teens group) classes are all still open for bookings. The fancy Jungle Cats shirts have been held up with Chinese New Year holidays... The supplier has promised they will be here by next Friday.  Sorry for the delay.  I have also ordered some plain t-shirts with the Jungle Cat logo screen printed on for the kids who prefer this option.  They should be here in around 2 weeks.  

 Just a reminder that we DO NOT RUN KIDS CLASSES ON PUBLIC HOLIDAYS.  However, we do run classes on pupil free days.

 If you have any questions regarding our program please forward them to astrickland@fitsolutions.net.au
