Congratulations to our newest CrossFit Beloit Coach Jac! Jac took her level 1 last weekend in Chicago and is ready to help the members of CFB reach their goals! She has been apart of the community for over a year and a half and has a lot of experience growing up involved in sports, dealing with and overcoming injury, and being a general badass!
Welcome to the CFB coaching staff Jac!
Starting Monday the 19th, the Lurong Resolution Challenge will begin. We have almost 20 members signed up and it is not too late to join in!
If you are doing the Lurong Resolution Challenge, we will be taking your measurements starting on the 16th and they must be done by a coach. A small cheat sheet of the challenge and details of logging, points, schedule and recording sheet will be at the gym for you. Alison will be going over details Friday the 16th, and Saturday the 17th after the workouts. The first benchmark WOD will be announced Sunday the 18th and you will be doing this during the week during class time. You have a week to record, so check out the calendar section of the challenge web site for deadlines. If you have any questions, please ask! Looking forward to the next 5 weeks!!
The CrossFit Games season is upon us as well, and the Open starts in February and the registration for that starts today. The Open has a workout once a week for 5 weeks. If you sign up, you will submit scores each week after doing the workout in class, and have access to a world wide leader board to see where you stack up. Last year we had almost 40 members sign up for the open and we saw lots of PR's and firsts for everyone. It is a very exciting time the world of CrossFit, so we encourage everyone to sign up. If you have questions about the Open, let us know. Below is the link for registration.

So I just signed up for the Gladiator Assault Challenge on May 30th in Lake Geneva. A bit early but if you sign up now prior to the 19th it is only $40. Now I have done this race before, it was snowing the day of the race and it was completely miserable, being wet and cold sucks but the course was very legitimate. I highly doubt it will be snowing May 30th so get your butt signed up for this race. 7+ miles with over 30 obsticales, sign up for the 9 am heat if you would like to join in on the fun!
CFB is going to embark on the Luroung Resolution Challenge starting January 19th. This is a 5 week challenge that is more performance oriented than our previous challenges and I feel it will prepare us well for the 2015 CrossFit Open. It has several levels of competition and is appropriate for all CFB members. This is a great way to start the year off, a way to build positive habits so 2015 is an awesome year!
To get started please click on the link below and select Wisconsin (even if you live in Illinois) as your state and then CrossFit Beloit for your affiliate.
You have the option to sign up for just the challenge or purchase their supplement and get the challenge for the same price. Just be aware that you will be signed up to receive the supplement on a regular basis and will have to cancel if you don't want it.
Our annual 12 days of Christmas workout will be on Saturday, December 20th starting with heats at 8am. Each heat will be for 30 minutes, so be sure to sign up for a slot on the board at the gym.
Saturday night everyone is then invited to a night of karaoke and a white elephant gift exchange. Details will be posted at the gym.
Please also check the Front Desk schedule for classes around Christmas and New Years as some changes have been made. We will post times at the gym as well.
Lastly Crossfit Green Bay hosts a competiton called the Ice Bowl that we have brought many members to in the past and we would like to keep that tradition. There are scaled, Rx'd, and masters categories. In the past we have spent Friday and Saturday in Green Bay at a hotel near their gym. If you'd like more information let Scott or Alison know! We are looking for February for our next Crosstown Throwdown as well. We will keep everyone posted!
