Fight Gone Bad Fundraising Tips

Have you started fundraising for Fight Gone Bad? You and your team should be registered with CrowdRise. We’ve included some fundraising tips below to get you started, adapted from Convio. We’ve also included info below about Brooklyn Community Foundation (the organization for which we’re raising money!).

Tip #1: Start early. The sooner you start asking for donations, the more money you will raise.

Tip #2: Set a challenging but attainable goal. Your fundraising goal should be a stretch, but doable. If you are getting close to your goal, then raise it so people continue to donate.

Tip #3: Contact everyone you know. Start with your email address book, then your regular address book and member lists from clubs you belong to. You’ll be surprised who gives!

Tip #4: Customize your emails. Make the email template yours! Include a personal story—why you’re raising money, why it’s important to you, and where the money goes. (Tell people why you love Brooklyn, and why you love CFSBK and that we partner with BCF!)

Tip #5: Create an email schedule and stick to it. Set dates to send a first email announcing your participation, a second email asking for donations, an update email, and a ‘last chance’ email.

Tip #6: Ask, ask, and ask again. People can only make a donation if you give them the opportunity. Don’t be shy about asking more than once. People need to be reminded!

Tip #7: Add social media to the mix. Use status updates in Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn to update friends on your fundraising and provide a direct link to your fundraising webpage.

Tip #8: Get creative. Add the URL for your fundraising webpage to your email signature. Give out “piggy banks” and ask people to save their change for a month. Hold an auction. Throw a party!

Tip #9: Stay focused. Remind yourself of why you are participating in the event, and how the money you will raise will help others. Turn to other fundraisers for inspiration and ideas.

Tip #10: Send a personalized thank you. After you’ve completed your fundraising, send your results to donors and thank them again for their help. You might need their support again next year! (And dude, always say thank you. It’s the right thing to do.)

Brooklyn Community Foundation (BCF) is proud to partner with CrossFit South Brooklyn on Fight Gone Bad for the fifth year running. BCF is on a mission to spark lasting social change, mobilizing people, capital, and expertise for a fair and just Brooklyn. Since their founding in 2009, the Foundation and their donors have provided over $20 million in grants to more than 300 nonprofits throughout the borough, bolstering vital programs and services while responding to urgent community needs and opportunities to fuel community-led change.

Today is a scheduled rest/recovery day, but don’t worry! We are open and running on a normal class schedule, but you’ll have the option of doing either yesterday or tomorrow’s programming (which can be found in the comments section of today and every Rest Day’s post). We recently explained why we program Rest Days twice a week and how you can get the most out of them.

Register for Active Life Strength!

Get out of pain, stay out of pain, strengthen your weaknesses, and improve mobility and movement patterns, all while getting stronger! This is a predominantly strength-based class very specifically programmed to strengthen movements and improve positions based on your individual needs.

The Active Life methods help athletes of all levels identify the root causes of their pain, injuries, and plateaus, and provide solutions for alleviating and eliminating those limitations through strength training, hands on treatment, corrective movements, and program modification. As the Head Coach at Active Life Athletics, Coach Keith worked closely with the Active Life doctors as they developed the system and led the charge to incorporate it into a gym model. Using those principles, this program will help you identify your individual weaknesses and limitations, guide you through the necessary strength and mobility exercises, and get you moving and lifting more efficiently, with less pain. A pain-free athlete is a confident athlete, and a confident athlete is a dangerous athlete. If your goal is to look better, feel better, and go hard into your 80s, this program will help you set and maintain the foundation.

For more information on The Active Life, check out:

• @activeliferx on Instagram

• The Active Life on YouTube

Schedule

PM Cycle
October 15th, 2018 – December 7th, 2018
Monday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 7:30pm
2x per week for 8 weeks
Register Here!

Cost

The cost is $160 per month ($320 total plus NY state sales tax). The first charge will occur at the time of registration and the second payment of $160 will occur automatically 1 month later. This cycle is open to all CFSBK members as well as CrossFitters from other affiliates.

(Please note that you are committing to specific days and times and there be no refunds for any missed classes or late cancellations.)

What happens in class?

We will start with testing your single leg strength relative to your Back Squat, your Deadlift stamina relative to your absolute strength, your 1-arm carry ability, and your upper body pressing and pulling. You will then receive progressive strength work during each class to address your weaknesses based off of your test results.

In addition, we will identify your general movement limitations through mobility and flexibility assessments. Each athlete will receive an individualized “Not for Time” piece to complete as a warm up/cool down for CrossFit group class or during standardized warm-ups to address these limitations through corrective movements, stretches, and holds.

Testimonials

“It was nice to delve into mobility and strength issues and focus on only a few movements (Squat, Deadlift, Farmer’s Carry, High Pull, and Overhead Press) that will improve them. I also was grateful to have a workout tailored for my needs, which will help me improve and which will be valuable indefinitely because I can add weight to many of the moves (i.e. Overhead Carry). Pain/soreness was less the impetus for my decision to take Active Life Strength than the hope that I can improve mobility and upper-body strength. ALS was a great addition to regular classes. I’m 56, so there are limits to what I can achieve, but the class gave me hope that with effort and focus I can reach a higher level”—Paul B.

“I liked how the program was tailored for each person’s situation. I thought the personalized quality work assigned to each person was spot-on and really helped address my weaknesses. I would totally take this class again. I definitely felt improvements in the areas I was experiencing pain. My strength has improved as well. I feel more stable in my upper body. I still have a way to go to balance out a strength discrepancy in my legs, but now I know what to pay attention to and have been given the strategy to continue to work on that. As a bonus, I have gained a bit more flexibility and mobility in areas I didn’t know needed it.”—Maria M.

News and Notes

• For our CrossFit group class programming, this week will be a “Transition Week” between testing week and the start of our next cycle. This week will look pretty similar to any regular cycle but will have some novel lift exposures followed by a metcon or not-for-time work. One thing of note is that the strength work on Mondays during the upcoming cycle will be dumbbell/kettlebell complexes. The goal on these will be to work up to a heavy load for the day, and we’ll be teasing this tomorrow. These should be a fun and novel way to go heavy on some unilateral work. As always, we value your feedback!
• Get out of pain, stay out of pain, strengthen your weaknesses, and improve mobility and movement patterns, all while getting stronger! An evening edition of Coach Keith’s popular Active Life Strength class starts October 15th, and registration opened last week.

1RM TEST

Warm up (sample warm up progression below, notice the sets at lower weights) and test your 1RM. If you’re feeling good, then try to set a new personal best.

1 Mile Run

This benchmark hero workout and CFSBK Leaderboard item, “Jerry” (aka “The CrossFit 5K”), isn’t meant to be a relaxing jog/row sandwich. Set a goal to run a hard first mile, maintain an uncomfortable pace for the row, and empty the tank on the final mile. If you’re newer to CrossFit or your mile pace is greater than 10 minutes consider scaling to 2/3 Mile and/or a 1500m Row. If you have an injury that precludes you from running, sub 3 miles on the bike per mile on the run.

Behind the Desk: Rachel Cochran

This fall you can look forward to new installments of our Behind the Desk series, about our beloved and much appreciated front desk staff! These CrossFitters take care of the important duties of checking in our members, handling walk-ins, tidying up after classes, and so many other things that it would take forever to list them. They are the glue that holds this gym together. First up is Rachel C.!

Name (and any nicknames):

Rachel Cochran

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

Born and raised in the “Athens of the South”—Nashville, Tennessee

How long have you been CrossFitting, and how did you arrive at CFSBK?

I’ve been doing CrossFit for about a year and a half. Prior to CrossFit, I spent a few years doing road races and triathlons. I finished a big triathlon and realized there was more to life than spending, quite literally, 10+ hours exercising on a Saturday. Not long after, I joined CFSBK. Here, it’s almost like half the work is done for me. I show up, do what the coaches say, and I’m out in an hour. It’s a dream!

What are you recommending right now?

Sushi and podcasts. Current gold medalists: Silver Rice and My Favorite Murder.

What are you up to when you’re not at 597 Degraw Street?

I’m the co-founder of a communications and design firm, Beachy Media. We work mostly with endurance sport and lifestyle brands, which roughly translates to sitting behind my computer and talking about fitness. Shout out to CFSBK for being a much-needed daily break from the screen, and well… giving me a chance to work out instead of just talk about it.

What are your favorite and least favorite lifts?

Favorite? Deadlifts, easily. Least favorite is Bench Press because I swear my upper body is filled with air.

What are three (non-essential like food and water) things you can’t live without?

Iced coffee, dogs, and lakes.

Any front-desk public service announcements?

Save a LaCroix for me!

Yesterday’s Results Board: Squat Test
No Expiration CrossFit Journal
Are We Wired to Sit? NY Times

Back Squat Test

Fitness
Warm up and test a 1RM. If you’re feeling good, then try to set a new personal best. Use spotters on all work sets. The bar may only move upward from the bottom of the Squat and the feet must stay flat. Full depth in the Squat is achieved when the hip crease passes below the top of the kneecap.

Performance
Warm up and test a 10RM! Use your higher rep-out sets from the previous 7 weeks as a guide on what to shoot for. You likely only have 1-2 good attempts in you, maybe 3, so plan wisely. Use spotters on all work sets. The bar may only move upward from the bottom of the squat and the feet must stay flat. Full depth in the Squat is achieved when the hip crease passes below the top of the kneecap.

Sample Warm Ups and Attempts

These are only meant as a guide. The main goal is to get properly warm and not fatigued for your opener. Notice that as the warm up weights go up, the reps go down.

Lifter 1
Warm Ups: 45 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 3 275 x 1, 315 x 1
