What physical strength/fitness means to me, by Coach Lynsey

Movement has always been something that defines me. Whether it be throwing myself around the living room as a toddler, attending dance classes every day of the week as an adolescent, or being a professional Dancer, Teacher and Coach. It’s how I learn, how I communicate, and it makes me happy. Physical Strength and Fitness means fulfillment, happiness and longevity. I don’t need or have to be the best Dancer, CrossFitter or Exerciser to feel value, but I focus on strength and fitness to nurture a passion for movement for myself and others, and to age with confidence and capability.

Update on Membership and RSVPs

We understand that some classes, especially morning classes are getting increasingly difficult to reserve, so we have made some changes that we hope will help.

First of all, we are not accepting any new members for our busier times. Instead, starting 4/5 we are offering an Off-Peak 10x class card for $200. This will give access to the following times only.

Group Classes
Monday-Friday 9am,11am,12pm
Monday-Thursday 7:30pm
Saturday, Sunday 12pm,1pm

Open Gym
Monday- Friday 2pm-4pm
Tuesday, Thursday 7pm
Friday 4pm-8:30pm
Saturday, Sunday-2pm-3:30pm

This is also open to all current members so if you’d like to make any changes, just email cfsbkfrontdesk@gmail.com.

Secondly, we are changing our cancellation policy. Members can now cancel classes via the app up to 6 hours before the class start time. We hope that this will help ensure that classes that are at capacity are actually full. We ask that you please let us know by phone or email if you need to cancel any later than that so we can try to give someone else the opportunity to come to class.

Finally, if you are on the Waitlist for a class and somebody cancels, instead of automatically being reserved, you will receive a text to let you know that you need to log in to ZenPlanner to confirm your reservation. If you do not confirm within 30 minutes, the next person on the Waitlist will then be contacted.

So that this runs as smoothly as possible, please make sure your phone number is up to date in our system.

The Evening Team Wins!

The age old question of who is fitter between morning and evening members has finally been put to rest. These past three weeks we ran a highly scientific study using the CrossFit Open results to answer this question. The morning team took week 1 but the evening team prevailed in the following two weeks with the lowest average rankings. Some say that daylight savings played a major factor in the morning teams precipitous decline given they were still adjusting to an hour of less sleep, others speculate that the evening team just slept in on week 1 and finally got their $#!t together after a late start. Although the evening team did win the competition, we must note that the morning team signed up in much larger numbers, and therefore won our hearts in the process.

Evening Team final Score: 17.54

Morning Team final Score: 20.00
