Labor Day Schedule Update:

We will be having a limited schedule this upcoming Monday.  We will only be running classes at 4:30, 5:30 and 6:30pm.  This will allow you to get your BBQ on in the day and still come in and train at night.  We will also be starting our next cycle of our Foundations Beginners Class.  

 

CrossFit BWI Foundations Beginners Workshop 9/6-9/29

Sep 6th - 29th

The Foundations Beginners Workshop is designed to take the generaly healthy orthopedic and injury free athletes through the basics of CrossFit exercises and prepare them for moving into group classes with a firm understanding of the movements and the necessary substitutions to meet their specific needs. Enrollment will be limited to 10 people and will consist of two days per week for 4 weeks for a total of 8 sessions. Make sure that you can commit to each day and time before enrolling into Foundations. Attendance is mandatory and all classes must be completed within one month.

The BWI Strength Class has been rockin' it.  
 
BWI Strength never went away but its time for a new cycle and a new group of motivated athletes.  We will be having a BWI Strength class meeting Tuesday the 17th at 7pm to discuss the next cycle of BWI Strength.
 
Here is the deal:
 
This class is not a “drop-in” class.  We had a group of people who were interested and so we figured out a schedule and this is the outcome.  How do I join this group of increasingly strong people, you may ask?   Well read on.
 
You will be asked to commit to twelve weeks of solely Strength training, with a bit of conditioning.  You will need be present a minimum of two classes per week, and we highly recommend making yourself available for all 3 workouts.  At the end of 12 weeks you are not automatically removed from the group, we can evaluate where you are and where you want to be and decide what makes sense for your goals.

Met-Cons (or lack of) will be programmed specifically for the program as well as to the athletes weaknesses.  If your desire is to get strong and technically proficient in the lifts then this is the class for you.

Erin squatting to excellent depth @ 135#s  for 3 sets of 5!

Brian back in the saddle, looking strong.  Has gained 15lbs since starting this program.

Our class meets Tuesday & Thursday night @ 7pm  and Saturdays @ noon.  This class is not a “drop-in” class.  We had a group of people who were interested and so we figured out a schedule and this is the outcome.  How do I join this group of increasingly strong people, you may ask?   Well read on.

As a heads up to all gym members, not just our Strength Class members, we will be having a Crossfit Total workout on 8/7/2010.  That is a Saturday.  It should be a fun day for all gym members to come in and PR some lifts.

It will also be a good day to chat with the current class of BWI Strength peeps, and see if this is something you are interested in.  As of now we are only currently offering one class time as listed below, but if interest warrants it, we are open to adding more!

Should you decide you want to become a marauding bandit, you will be asked to commit to twelve weeks of solely Strength training, with a bit of conditioning.  You will need be present a minimum of two classes per week, and we highly recommend making yourself available for all 3 workouts.  At the end of 12 weeks you are not automatically removed from the group, we can evaluate where you are and where you want to be and decide what makes sense for your goals.

Picture taken at the old facility and still a favorite.  

BEFORE

1 YEAR LATER

 

From the man himself, 

"Ryan,

Could you do me a favor and post an open invitation on the website to the CFBWI gang to join me this Friday (16 July) after the 6:30 WOD for a few of beers, on me, in celebration of sticking with this for year and losing a shit load of weight. My original goal was 100lbs as you know and I have surpassed that and lost 145lbs in total.
 
 
Weight now is 356 lbs - Dropped three shirt sizes as some 2X's now fit, snug but wearable. Sleep better, move better, eating better,dropped high cholesterol medication, reduced high blood pressure medication, etc.
 
Thanks to you for taking on the challenge of helping a 500lbs, about to turn 50 year old slob. Thanks to everyone at CFBWI for all of your support, encouragement and pushing my ass, especially in the beginning to get me to where I am today. Still fat, but fitter, stronger and well on my way to my goal of getting down to 250lbs.
 
Jack"
 

So come early and stay late as we celebrate this amazing transformation.  

You are an inspiration Jack and you are doing amazing things that people only dream about! 

 

SIDE NOTE:  We will be Canceling Friday's Noon Class.  Sorry for the inconvenience!

So you heard of the unfortunate accident that has befallen JJ last week.  He is OK but had to have emergency surgery to repair his eye and will be out for six to eight weeks.   What the goverment wants you to believe is that a wire broke and damaged his eye, but luckily we are able to recreate video of what actually happened!
