You’ve heard us talking about it all month. You went hard this weekend and celebrated with us.
And now it’s time to gear up for our 8-week nutrition challenge!!
We’re kicking this week off with Hydrostatic Body Fat Testing today (there are STILL spots left) AND the launch of our challenge-specific website.
We wanted to create a separate site for the challenge so you have one place to go for all-things nutrition during the challenge. This is your home base for getting the support that you need to stay accountable, inspired, and motivated throughout the next eight weeks. Once you register to participate, visit the site daily! Food journals will be posted and shared with all, and we encourage you to interact with one another by posting comments on each others’ food journals and mini challenge submissions. Do not hesitate to ask questions to prompt conversation and discussion in your posts!
Still on the fence? We’re hosting a Q&A session after classes this Saturday, February 3rd starting at 12pm. Come by to geek out a bit about nutrition and get all of your questions answered (for example, YES you can still participate if you are counting macros). See you there!!
From 5:30am to 7pm we’ll have a BODY FAT TEST truck outside the gym. You only need 10 minutes, a swimsuit, and a reservation. There are spots left at the time of this posting:

The world-wide 2018 CrossFit Games Open is coming and like years past, we’ll be participating as a gym once again. Registering to play allows you to see where your fitness stacks up against the rest of the world/region/state/age division/etc. With that info you can plan for a better, more dedicated year to training/recovery/nutrition/habits/etc.
The way we do it is super fun: we’ll make three teams gym-wide with co-captains and fun team names. Then we’ll have a five-week internal competition full of laughter and sweat! The 2018 FCF Intramural Open will begin with 18.1 and end with 18.5, which will also a be a multi-event VERSUS throwdown.
That’s a lot to take in, especially if you’re new, but fear not! All will be explained in further detail beginning next week. Want to get a jump on it all?
If you do all four things listed above and input an official score for all five events we’ll compensate the price of registration for your April dues! Those who also go all the way will receive a special treat from us at the gym.
