BRING A FRIEND WEEK
——
Our next Bring-A-Friend week is SEPTEMBER 23RD - 28TH!!

You’re invited to bring WHOEVER for a week of FREE classes to help show them what CFT is all about. No matter what fitness level, all are welcome to come! As always, the people you bring can come to as many classes as they’d like and they don’t have to come with you.

Remember that walking in the door for the first time is the hardest part, and we are more than just a gym - we’re a community! Remind your friends and family that they will be SUPPORTED, they will be ENCOURAGED, and it will be FUN!!
——
As a side note, don’t forget you have the ability to give a $60 DISCOUNT to any friends or family that you refer to our gym for their first month of membership. Referrals mean the world to us, so as a thank you for helping us grow our community, you will also receive $60 OFF your next month’s membership (or a check if you have already paid for the year in full) if they sign up for a membership! There is no limit to this opportunity, just be sure to make sure you let us know when a friend you referred is here or plans to come in!

Let us know if you have any questions!

CFT WEIGHTLIFTING BELTS
——
We’ve had a couple of people ask about getting their own CFT 2POOD belt, so here’s your chance!!

We will have two options available for you to choose from - $55 each. If you’d like to add your name, it’s an extra $15 and will be by the belt loop or “wodclamp”.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TRY ON A 2POOD BELT AT THE GYM BEFORE ORDERING!! We have several hanging up on the wall by the slam balls. 2POOD belt sizes do not correlate to pant size!!
——
Let us know if you have any questions! Sign up sheet will be up on the desk tomorrow.

NEW CLASS TIME - 7:30AM

It may not be *as* hot as it was last week but that doesn’t mean hydration is any less important!!

Drink plenty of water the night before and during the day to prep for class and then rehydrate after class! If we need any extra refreshments or drinks with electrolytes in them, we’ve got you covered!

WORKOUT SPONSOR
——
Our third workout sponsor goes to Keenan, the BigFanMan! For our members here at CFT, if you’ve been enjoying the increase in air circulation at the gym these last few weeks, you have this guy to thank! Since having the large overhead fan installed, plus the additional large floor fan, there has been a much nicer, consistent “breeze” in the gym which we are very thankful for. CFT highly recommends Keenan and his services!

BigFanMan’s purpose is to provide building owners, managers, contractors, and users with more than just another fan from just another fan supplier. We will look at the details, and provide technology designed and built to last for many years. We will care about who we help and produce confidence through honesty and integrity.

We Move Air!

FOUNDATIONS CLASS - JUNE 29TH
——
Our next Foundations Class is coming up on SATURDAY, JUNE 29TH from 8-10am!!

Our Foundations Class focuses on introducing you to some of the fundamental CrossFit movements in a smaller, group setting that is centered around removing the uncertainty you may feel before trying a class.

Specific movements and topics that we go over include:
- squat
- strict press
- push press
- split jerk
- bracing
- deadlift
- hinging
- sn**ch

We know that trying something new, especially CrossFit, can feel overwhelming, so we hope this class increases your confidence and leaves you feeling more prepared!

BRING A FRIEND WEEK
——
STARTS TODAY!!

We chose this photo specifically because Tay and I met every single person in this photo at the gym, and they are now some of our greatest friends (including you even though it cropped you out 🫠).

Your reason for showing up at the gym doesn’t have to be just about fitness or weight loss. Sometimes we show up just to see our friends, to smile, laugh a little, and have our spirits lifted.
——
We hope to see a lot of new faces this week and we can’t wait to meet you all!

TOP SPONSOR
——
We have a new top sponsor for this year’s Fittest Drinkers - Wolfington Chiropractic! Dr. Rob is one of our coaches and our resident chiropractor here at CFT. We’re grateful for his support and for keeping our members healthy and moving 💪🏼

MURPH
——
If you somehow forgot, we have MURPH this weekend! Those of you who are participating have already signed up for a time on Saturday. If you haven’t, there are still some spots available. Let’s talk about this before you stop reading this post - the WHY behind this workout.

If you’ve noticed our stories this week, we’ve been posting some great videos to remind everyone that this workout is to honor those who have given their lives to serve our country and for no other reason. This is a very hard workout that is both mentally and physically exhausting. Just because your legs and arms get tired, doesn’t mean your reps get worse. Just because you’re hot and uncomfortable, doesn’t mean you forget how to count. Just because you want to beat your time from last year, doesn’t mean you cut reps. Just because you may have done better, doesn’t mean you brag about it. We honor those who have given their all with every single quality rep that you do, with every single drop of sweat, and with every time you think about giving up but don’t.

Other things to remember:
- the time you signed up for is when your heat is going to START, NOT when you should get to the gym - come early to warm up and get prepared
- bring a water bottle and other forms of hydration, plus anything else you may need to - it’s going to be a warm one

For all your recovery needs, JP - aka our favorite massage therapist - will be here on Saturday! His hours and pricing for the day are on the next slide.
——
You all have put in a lot of work over the last several months during the many Murph prep workouts we’ve completed. You are capable of doing hard things - don’t forget that.

CROSSFIT KIDS - ROUND 3
——
Our third cycle of CrossFit Kids will start JUNE 4TH!! Price and days/times are staying the same BUT we’re making another change this time around. There is no age restriction for class times but you MUST COMMIT to a class time on both days. For example: 3:15pm on Tuesdays and 6:00pm on Fridays or 6:00pm on both Tuesdays and Fridays, etc. This will allow us to still know how many children will be in each class and give you all more flexibility on what classes you can bring your kids to.

DETAILS:
- a 6-week program from June 4th - July 12th
- AGES: 4-12 years old
- TIMES: 3:15pm and 6:00pm on both Tuesday and Friday
——
The sign up sheet will be on the desk. Please let us know if you have any questions!

You don’t have to be a part of CFT to sign up your child for this class!
