CrossFit Belltown: January 2011

Hello CFBT-ers! With the New Year, and new gym we’ve got a few exciting changes going on! We will be starting classes at the new gym this week, launching a new website, adding Yoga, Boot Camp and Competition Training Classes. Below are some details on how this all will affect you. Thanks again for your patience during this transition, you guys have been the best!

New Gym – Pending today’s inspection, we plan to be hosting classes at the new gym starting Wednesday morning. The address is 2301 Second Ave Seattle, WA 98121. This is just 2 short blocks south of our current gym. We are on the corner of Second & Bell, next door to Wasabi Bistro. The gym will not be 100% ready, but we are working hard to get all the finishing touches done in the next month.

New Website – We are launching a new website in the coming days. You will still get to see the WOD’s before you come to class, but you will just have to find the Workout Of The Day Tab, and click on that to see the daily WOD. There will still be a link to class sign-ups on Mind Body Online. I think you will be able to create a website log-in to post comments. Stay tuned.

Yoga – Starting the week of January 18^th we will be slowly adding more Yoga classes to the schedule. Kicking it off, we are so lucky to have Maura B heading up the Physio-Tune up class. If you guys have been enjoying the mobility work, this class is for you. Maura’s class will be heavily focused on alignment and repairing your body’s tweaks and imbalances to help improve your quality of life and overall performance in the gym. Her class will be Tuesday and Thursdays from 7:35pm-8:35pm. We will also be adding some other yoga classes (Flow) and general stretching; details are being finalized now.

If you are a Charter Member with an Unlimited Membership (you have a yellow M by your name in Mind Body Online) then your yoga classes are included in your membership (no upgrade required). You are all set and can start registering for yoga now!

If you are a regular Month-to-Month CFBT Member (you have a red M by your name in Mind Body Online) you have a few options, as our membership structure will be changing slightly.

Gold Membership (Unlimited CrossFit & Yoga) $210 per month (that is only $25 more per month!)

Silver Membership (Unlimited CrossFit) $185 per month (rate stays the same).

Bronze Membership (2x per week CrossFit) $140 per month (rate stays the same).

If you are a PIF (3 months paid in full) member, please contact me about your yoga options.

If you are happy with your current membership and might only do yoga 1x per month, you can always do the Yoga Drop in Rate for $20. This rate is open to non CFBT members as well.

PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A CHANGE TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP LEVEL.

Boot Camp – Kicking-off January 17th, 2011 will be the first CrossFit Belltown Boot Camp Series. This Boot Camp will run for eight weeks, ending on March 12th in perfect timing for the spring!

Class will meet Mon and Wed from 6pm-7pm and Saturday at 8:30am. The class will be fast paced, but scaleable focused on bodyweight movements, interval training, some medicine ball work, and dumbbells. If you have friends that are looking to get into high-intensity training but find CrossFit intimidating; this is the class for them to start with. Cost: $300 for the series. 24 total classes = $12 per class!

Competition Training Class- For those of you wanting to compete in Sections with hopes of doing individuals or team competition. This class will be focused on extra technique work, advanced skills (muscle-ups, HSPU, Snatches). Must be able to do most WOD’s as rx’d.

Early Bird Classes – I know a few of you are looking for early classes (6am YIKES). We are working VERY hard to make that available for you guys by February.

Vacation – We plan to set-up the gym, then skip town! We will be on a much needed vacation all of next week. You guys will be in the very capable hands of Stephen, Mark, Brandon and Joe.
