Bring-A-Friend Week (VITAL)(SHORT!)

< CORRECTED > Calendar for the rest of the year!

BRING-A-FRIEND WEEK is here and we NEED your help with this. Not only do we hope that you’ll put the word out and convince people to come check us out, but you’re also VITAL to the experience that new people have when do show up. Here’s a few things that will help us all win this week!

1) Invite someone. Throw it on your socials if nothing else, it costs you nothing, could help us, and could literally save someone’s life. HERE IS THE LINK FOR THEM TO SIGN UP

2) Be friendly. We know our gym is pretty welcoming and non-intimidating, but new people don’t! Please take a moment to introduce yourself, be helpful if people look lost or confused, and high-five after they’re done. Positive vibes from current members make a huge impact on people on Day 1.

3) Be cleanly. If you bleed, sweat, spit, or (if you’re Ben) toss your gum on something during the workout, wipe it off. Lots of outside bacterias will be tracked in, lets kill them as much as possible when we clean up.

4) Be someone’s partner. Yes, we all know it’s rough to get teamed with a stranger, but we also have all done it. Be willing to team up with someone you don’t know this week. Trust me, all of these workouts are legit even if you’re matched with someone significantly less fit than you.

REWARDS!! — If anyone signs up for a membership, the person who invited them AND the new member will both get a $50 credit on their ChalkIt account. You can use it for drinks, t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. Whatever you don’t use by the start of your next billing cycle will be taken off your normal membership rates. BONUS!! 💪

IN-HOUSE UPDATES

WE WILL STILL ASSESS CATEGORIES NEXT WEEK!!

TRAINING CYCLES

category focuses are: FRONT SQUAT + FLEXIBILITY + KETTLEBELL

Our program is designed to bring a broad and inclusive general physical preparedness to everyone participating consistently at The Standard. That means we have to work in cycles where we focus on certain implements (KB,DB,barbell,etc), energy systems (heavy breathing vs muscular burn), virtuosity (proficiency of a specific skill), and E discipline (neurological learning typically with weights). If we tried to do them all throughout the year, all the time, we would get less progress across the timeline, so we break it up so we can get a specific adaptation. Just in case you wanted some nerd stuff in your blogs. :)

GOOGLE REVIEWS

OK, we really try to resist asking for you to do things to help us, but I can’t do the lifting on my own on this one… It would be really helpful if you’d take a few moments to leave a 5-star review on google. It helps with our ranking when people search for gyms/crossfit/etc. …and it’s free. :) HELP!
