First, thank you so much for your awesome feedback so far on our 2017 Member Survey! This year was HUGE for us, and it involved taking some risks, trusting our guts, and most of all making some hard decisions along the way. Your feedback all along has been invaluable, and its been on our shoulders helping us make the best decisions possible at every turn. Thats why we get excited to put this survey out because we know well only get better by listening and planning ahead. If you havent, please take a minute to complete the survey. It is 100% anonymous, and even tough feedback is feedback we need to hear in order to make your experiences and time with us better!
As you know, weve been working hard to get everything up to speed and consistent at both facilities over the past few months. Part of that means evaluating some of our offerings and trying to align them wherever possible. One of the big areas were addressing first (since they were so different) are the Saturday morning and Open Gym slots. We think we have it all worked out, and here is what weve got.These changes will go into effect January 1st!
As you can see, what weve tried to do here is offer Open Gym times at East that are closer to the lunch hour like West, and move Saturday Open Gym times closer to the morning class times at West. EastWestMWF: 12-2 pmM-F: 12-2 pmSaturday: 10:30 am-12:30 pmSaturday: 10:30 am-12:30 pmSunday: 12:00 pm-2:00 pmSunday: 12:00 pm-2:00 pm
Saturday morning classes are undergoing a slight makeover as well. They will now have one 9:00 am class at each location, staffed with 2 coaches, and be an additional 15 minutes long to make sure we have ample time to get the work in for the day. Remember, these changes will go into effect January 1st!
Thats right, after several years of weekly Ladies Nights, weve opted to move it to Monthly after the success of the last Ladies Lifting Night. Moving it to monthly will allow more ladies to join in and a longer night of lifting that wont send Jes home to put the kiddo to bed before shes ready to stop lifting. Maybe dinner can even be added to the itinerary? The possibilities are endless and youre likely to hear from her soon to begin planning Januarys event.
Weve MERGED!! If you havent already been invited please message us about joining our Private Facebook group to stay in the loop with the pack. Please feel free to share your stories, fun finds, shoe deals, and anything you see fit. It is your group after all! We will try to share announcements, fun local comps, and upcoming events as well.
I cant believe it, but were about to wipe the goal board clean for another year! Its always an exciting but kind of gut reality check on where Im at with my previous years goals. Why does fall go so fast? If you havent already, start thinking about your goals and be ready to claim your spot on the board. Remember, your goals should be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-oriented). Per Facebook, it looks like a lot of you might be interested in a goal-setting talk, so stay tuned as we try to work something into the schedule!
While our small group classes are designed to meet the majority of our communitys needs, achieving specific individual goals may require a slightly different path. In order to maximize your training, recovery, and time, the Private Coaching, Personal Training, and Individual Programming options may be the next step to consider in your training. Check out our website or email us at info@crossfitfringe.com for more information!
First, eat the foods, then do the things. Buuuuut sometimes we forget the food and we have a list of the things. So having a good source of protein/nutrition on hand at all times will keep your body fueled for the next workout! Thats a big reason weve partnered with Driven Nutrition to carry their products in-house. Were all about that convenient life. Getting the right amount of protein and keeping up with your nutrition is key to obtaining the goals youre setting these next few weeks. Driven offers a wide variety of flavors in their pre/post workout drinks along with supplements to meet additional nutritional and recovery needs. Theyve been great about shipping fast, so if theres a flavor you love or would like to see more of, just let us know, and were happy to make sure its in stock!
Its exciting to have new gear in stock, isnt it? Thanks for all the great apparel feedback youve given us thus far. If theres a particular item you like, but East/West doesnt seem to have your size, shoot us a message and well check with the other location to see if they have it. And dont worry, more gear is coming. Oh yes, it is definitely on its way. Pre-orders will continue this month on hoodies and joggers. Stay tuned to social media and the whiteboard for announcements on those pre-order dates!

Yes seriously. As Im writing this January update, were already working on updates that will come out mid-month and in February. This Newsletter probably could have been twice as long, but Ill spare you for now and just give you a bulleted list of a few of the tidbits currently in progress:
