Same Cost, Different Price
Our new payment software, Volusion, runs off a monthly billing cycle rather than the four-week billing cycle that Mind Body used.  What this means, is that in order to keep the cost per class the same, we have to adjust our billing rates. Starting in March, the monthly rates will be as follows:

2x/week: $18/class, $157/month
3x/week: $15/class, $195/month
5x/week: $10/class, $216/month

While this looks like a price increase, it's most certainly not. You'll be paying for the same amount per class on a slightly longer contract. Over the course of a year, a CFSBK member would be paying 12 billing cycles on Volusion as opposed to 13 on our old system. 

By not adjusting our rates, we'd experience about an 8%-10% drop in revenue which, with all the new costs of our new space and program is simply not feasible.

If you're paying by cash or check for a monthly contract, we're going to update you guys to the same price structure as well.  This means that you'll now be able to pay on the same day every month as opposed to adjusting your payment date every time.

If you have any questions, please contact David in person or via email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com

We love to see dogs at CrossFit.  There's even a cushion, water bowl and some treats located by the stairs for them. Because CrossFit has so many people coming in and out during class times, if your dog bites, gets nervous around strangers or jumps on people it's probably not a good idea to bring them to the gym.

If you're dog is social and friendly, remember the following guidelines:
+ Keep them tied to the stairs during classes and private training. If you'd like to let them off the leash to run around a bit, please ask one of the coaches first.
+ Try to keep your dog off the stretch mats.
+ If your dog starts barking, please attend to it

Congratulations to Matt R and Tamar A on their marriage!

Big thanks to Dave Mak for scoring the community a Refrigerator and cutting up the boards for our tablets!

_________________________
Heavy Push Presses require a high level of midline strength to avoid
hyper-extending the lower back.  The tendency for someone with tight
shoulders or a weak midline is to lean back the top of the movement. 
Coach Fox will take us through some openers for the shoulders and
hips before we go overhead today.
Before class starts is the best time to do some individualized movement prep.  Do you do anything before class specific to you?
