TAFS,
These past 4 weeks have been pretty damn hard if i'm honest. If it wasn't for you guys pitching in I would have really struggled so for that i'm extremely grateful.
The new digs are a work in progress. Over the next 4 weeks you will be seeing a lot of changes and improvements that will turn this quaint little box into a fire breathing cauldron of CrossFit activity. We really want to provide you (the members and heart of AFS) a training facility worthy of the support you guys have shown these past 3 and a half years.
The Plan:
We, or indeed I (Gareth) have been guilty of not providing enough of a direction when it comes to channelling your efforts towards maximising your potential. I'm not saying we have failed as the all round improvements from each of you has been fantastic however we, or indeed I want to give you more.
As such you will be seeing a change in the program. We will no longer be running 2 programs. Those on the gold program will be following the whiteboard but with the added extra bonus of receiving the extra coaching the barbell club offers. We will be running a 1030 class Monday, Wednesday and Friday and a 1900 class Tuesday & Thursday that will cover this group.
You will notice that the program will be written with 3 standards in mind. Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced scaling options. This will coincide with the implementation of our Progress Tracking Board (Way cooler name TBC lol). This board will set out the standards of each level and we will use our skill section of the class to improve and attain these goals. Once you have completed all the targets you will move your name up to the next level and we will fist bump (Thats for you Macca). But on a serious note we will be able to see progress a lot more clearly.
Competitions:
There is absolutely no better incentive then a competition to train for and during these competitions the depths with which we are prepared to go to get that extra rep or hit a PB are very rarely replicated in the gym. Bearing this in mind we are going to organise in house competitions and local throwdowns for all our members to gain some no pressure experience. We will also be sorting out out a year planner. This year planner will be used to highlight the dates of all the competitions in the UK are being held. We will grade each competition and encourage you all to get out there and join this movement that is CrossFit.
In Summary:
I love bullet pointing and being all formal lol. We are looking to turn over a new leaf. With the new gym, a new website on the way (and a booking system that i'm sure you will all love...especially Pedro), a new program, a new set of rules (still to be confirmed so put your suggestions in the comments) and the start of a new year looming in the not to distant future we hope that you will all take to the new setup and help us grow our membership and push for new heights in health, fitness and friendship.
