Unique Opportunity

I have been working on a rowing seminar to be presented at our gym on Feb 11th. It is a 1 day program taught by the crew that does the training for Concept 2 and CrossFit. The cost is $225.00 and we need at least 10. At first I was very optimistic about filling the class and then some, but now I'm not so sure.

I plan on opening the workshop up to outsiders but will hold off until I get some commitments. If I don't get any commitments soon, I will scrap the whole idea.

Here is the info from their website:

Elements covered in the Indoor Rowing Foundations workshop include:

• The fundamentals of rowing workouts for group classes and individual rowing sessions – with opportunities to try them yourself!
• Proper technique for optimal rowing performance – and how to spot and correct common errors
• Using the rowing machine to reach peak performance faster
• How on-water rowers and coaches can adapt their experience to the diverse indoor rowing population
• Maintenance of the Concept2 indoor rowing machine and how to make it last a lifetime

The half-day Programming Intensive covers:

• Program design and implementation: How tos and considerations
• Creating killer  workouts and WODs using the Concept2 rower alone and in combination with the SkiErg and other equipment such as kettlebells
• Teaching tips for diverse populations of exercisers.  Assisting the discovery of the athlete within
• Sustainability and marketing: Keeping the workouts fresh and your classes full
• Additional hands-on workouts that you can also take straight back to your facility!

Who should take these courses:

• Group exercise instructors
• Personal trainers
• Functional fitness coaches and enthusiasts (Kettlebell, CrossFit, boot camp, etc.)
• Fitness enthusiasts
• Home users

As usual we are not making any money off of hosting this event, we do it as a service to you.

Holiday Schedule Change

It was certainly nice having everyone that showed up at the Christmas party. We hope everyone had a great Christmas.

The holiday season is always tough to schedule for. For instance today there was only one person from 2:30 to 6:00 pm. This becomes cumbersome and expensive so the rest of the week will only have the 6am, 9am, and 6pm classes. If you plan on attending at another time, you better make sure you have a conversation with me or there won't be anyone at the gym.

Happy Holidays!

This just in,

I will do 4:30 classes for the next 3 days if we have more than 2 signed up ahead of time. This means by noon of the day of the class.

Schedule Changes for the Next 2 Days

Just got back from posting the workout on the whiteboard and couldn't help but notice that no one is signed up for the 2:30 & 4:30 classes tomorrow. As such, they have been cancelled and since the Christmmas party is Friday at 5:30, we are going to only have the morning classes.

Still toying with the idea of a Christmas eve WOD at 10:00 am. Let me know if you're interested.

Hope to see you all at the party at Rancho Grande Friday night at 5:30!

 

Tuesday December 20th.

Monday the 19th.

Hannah's Burpee Day Party!!!!

Monday is back on the schedule.

I, Carrie McGill, will be coaching this Monday (12/19) if anyone signs up.

And Then Came Karen

150 wall balls for time was a good punctuation for the weeks end.

Dave and Jenn are approaching the halfway point of their on-ramp programs. Michelle V's husband Troy started his yesterday and I think will be a good fit for the gym.

I am looking forward to the Boot Camp that Carrie and Rachael will be running beginning January 2nd. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post I think it will fit a niche that we don't currently serve, those folks that are not necessarily interested in as much weightlifting that we do in normal classes. I am sure the gals will do a great job!

We have changed the Christmas celebration venue from the gym to Rancho Grande. It's still on the 23rd @ 5:30, but the list of attendees was not very long. So, we'll move it to a restaurant where someone else can serve us and clean up after us. Each person that wants to receive a gift should bring one of value no more than $20.00.

Speaking of gifts, the first atlas stone should be in the house later today. I have made 5 so far and the first one is cured and ready to go. Now all I need is to be able to get it in and out of the truck.

It looks as if the pm classes will be cancelled for 12/19. I have to work an extra shift at the FD on that day that wasn't previously scheduled. I have also cancelled the 6:00 pm for the 23rd so we can all attend the Christmas party at Rancho Grande.
