Hello #standardtrained army! Here’s a quick update on a few things that are going on that you should know about!
1) Congrats to everyone who participated in The Open; there were some very impressive performances! WE WANT TO CELEBRATE THOSE! So… if you did something in an Open workout that you’ve never done before, write it on the whiteboard the next time you’re in! We’d love to see how many breakthroughs we had as a group. The Open is designed to expose weaknesses, so we’d like to meet with all of you to talk about those. Ben will likely find you before or after class to chat for a few minutes.
2) If you’ve been in the gym the last few days, you likely know that it’s like working out in a greenhouse. Humid and stinky. Turns out Balance Farms behind us implemented a new circulation protocol and flushed a SLEW of air into a gap in the wall between our spaces. It’s going to be fixed tomorrow or in the next few days, but that’s the 411. smh. ugh. sorry.
3) We looked at the survey responses and we really appreciate all of the suggestions, criticism, encouragement, and the time you took to fill it out. That being said, we identified a need for a 4:30 class time and some extended gym time at 6:30, so those are going to begin 11/25!
4) We’re likely going to start using text messaging to deliver updates. Winter weather is a thing, many of you don’t use social media (good for you!), email is too slow, I can’t personally call each of you, so… texts. :) They won’t be abusive, but they’re likely to happen.
5) Calendar events just added!
11/23 - Mobility and Flexibility workshop! For $20, you’ll work through a 75 minute assessment and learn the value of mobility/flexibility, determine where your personal limitations are, and most importantly figure out new techniques to improve those areas. Improved mobility improves SAFETY which improves your consistency of attendance, which makes you DANG MORE FIT. =) Come join us NEXT SATURDAY!! https://thestandardcrossfit.pushpress.com/open/event/cal_c3d16efadacff9?framed=0
11/25 4:30PM class and 6:30PM open gym begin daily! Need to get it in a bit earlier or can’t make it to the 5:30? We have options!
11/28 and 11/29 - THANKSGIVING!! We’ll have an 8am and 10am class ONLY for these two days. Do not plan to be at the noon or 5:30 classes! We’ll be stuffed like a turkey by then. THESE ARE FREE TO THE PUBLIC - No cost, it’ll be a partner-based workout, so bring a buddy (preferably someone who’s all “blehhh CrossFit will make me bulky/is dangerous/is too hard” lol)
12/14 - Holiday Friendsgiving Potluck! 6pm! We’ll provide some protein, but bring a dish to share and enjoy a holiday celebration with our Standard Family. We’ll have a special surprise you really won’t want to miss!
12/15 - California Club! Ben’s birthday workout. Come suffer/enjoy a terrible workout that Ben likes for some unknown godforsaken reason. 10:30AM should be enough time for you crazy kids to wake up and get around. :)
12/18 - ProMedica day - We’ll be hosting a number of classes for ProMedica employees and their friends, but it won’t interrupt our normal classes. Just expect to see people that you might not normally see. Let’s be nice to our neighbors. :)
12/21 - TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS! The workout. *BUT ALSO… something exciting… we’ll announce this in the coming weeks, but you (and/or a friend) won’t want to miss it!
