1) Drinks....... One of the things hopefully that you like about the gym is the relaxed drink charging system we have. (Basically...honor system) If you are dying of thirst and dont have a dollar, take a drink! I know your good for it. But as the heat has gotten stronger, the drinks go faster.... unfortunatly, the dollars are staying the same. Lets keep the honor system alive! 2) We will be trying out a slightly new format for our training. Everyone is familiar with the Rx'd and scaled format. Now we will be doing an 'A, B, C' format to many of our workouts. (maybe not all) This will allow for greater achievement in your progress. Sometimes there can be a big gap from barely scaling, to completly scaling.... but the 'S' on your time is the same. A, B, C, is designed to give you something closer to work for when Rx'd seems so far away. Hopefully this will help you monitor your progress a bit easier. 3) If you havnt seen Bryon's video from the Box off.... you are missing out. http://gallery.me.com/castlemonster#100260

The 'Box Off'

Guys, if you have been in the last few days you have seen the sign up board for our little competition with CrossFit NWA. This is going to be on the 24th of July. A saturday, in the morning. We havnt ironed out the time yet, but the details are as follows. It will be a team wod. We need 10 guys and 10 girls. A guy and girl will be paired together and have to get through the wod together. Each pairing will have to complete 5 different very short wods. We can get you the details once you sign up, but please understand it wont be a very long wod. So, if you have been coming for a bit, and are confident in your abilities, SIGN UP!!! Dont worry if you are not good enough, because we will have a try out soon enough in the form of a daily wod posted on the blog. There will be multiple movements, and everyone has thier strengths and weaknesses. Plus since you will have a partner, we can play around your weaknesses. So SIGN UP!!! The more we have trying out the better! Please guys, do not be intimidated. We want this to be nothing but fun. Come show off. Compete. Support. Even if you dont want to compete, our gym will be closed on the 24th. After our team competition, we will have an open Fran for everyone else. That will be your workout. You just have to travel to CrossFit NWA to do it. (Next time they will be coming to our house!) Go 540

How are we doing?

Team, You may have noticed the Trainer/Gym eval sheets under the main board. I want to encourage everyone to fill these things out often. It is important to all of us that we not only provide you with what you are wanting and needing out of a trainer and gym, but also to continue to raise the bar at 540 as well. So please, fill out the forms for ALL of us. Myself, Holland, Ben, John, Christina, and Tricia. We want and need to be better. Fill it out if we did good. Fill it out if we did bad. Fill it out if we did ok. Or just let us know if something else needs to be done. If we have a great day... Let us know. If we are horrible... Let us know. Multiple copies if you can... it's all going to make us better trainers and a better gym. We may not even be aware of something awesome or nasty that we do until you fill us in. If you would like, fill one out for every day. And not just the trainers, but how is the programming, equipment, times.....anything. Its about you guys. Thanks guys. We hope to get nothing but better.
