Saturday: Good Luck B-Brown..

Next week B-Brown heads off on his journey to his debut at the CrossFit Games.  Of course by now you are all aware that Baydo took out the Open and earned himself National Champion honours and in the process booked his ticket for a shot at the ultimate test in the sport of CrossFit, The CrossFit Games.

The support he has received from you everyone at CrossFit Townsville has blown him away and I know he will be forever grateful for everyone that has chipped in.

The Games is not until the end of July though so in the meantime Baydo will be heading to the East coast of the States where he will eat, sleep and live training for the next 6 weeks.  He will be keeping us posted of his endeavours with a Vlog that will come through our Facebook page so stay tuned for that.

Baydo, we wish you all the best mate and words can't describe how proud we are.  Everyone has seen how hard you have worked but I know what everyone sees only scratches the surface of what you have and continue to put yourself through to be in the position you are in.  The 3.30am daily wake ups to start the day, the late night Back squat sessions at home after work to finish the day and the humble, no frills attitude about it all, is what makes you a champion!

Good luck Baydo!!!

New Pricing Structure..

We have been in the new facility for 4 weeks now and what a whirlwind 4 weeks it has been.  Everyone is enjoying the new space and equipment and it has certainly lit the fire within for a number of people.  

With a bigger space and more equipment comes a little more expense and moving forward we have a planned pricing increase to take effect as of July 1st 2019.  This is something we haven't done in more than 6 years so we are little overdue and more importantly we have the coaching expertise, space and equipment to justify it.

To further add value though we are now including our Fitness classes as part of your membership as well as super flexible open gym times and Yoga on Sunday mornings.  We are also doing away with any cost of suspending memberships, you need only give us some notice to put it on hold. Our couples and student discounts will still apply.

Come July 1st if you currently have a membership on direct debit it will be automatically adjusted to the new pricing.

We appreciate your support and understanding with this and if anyone has any issues Dan will be more than happy to discuss it further.

CFTSV Pricing as of July 1st

Unlimited weekly CrossFit membership (includes access to Fitness) - $45 per week on direct debit
CrossFit 10 session pass - $150
CrossFit casual visit - $20

Monday: Parkside Jive..

This week we are back to our Monday Run Day and it will also be our first Run Day out of the new box so we just have a couple of things to bring to attention to ensure everything goes nice and smoothly..

Firstly, with regards to parking we ask if on a Monday you could refrain from parking on the road in front of the gym and instead you seek parking in either the front or back carparks.  We know our classes are busy so there are not always spaces in either car park so the road is the only option and if you are going to do that please try and make sure you do it in front of the vacant block next to our building.  Just a reminder if we could please leave the opposite side of the road vacant so the folks from the businesses across that way have space to park their cars : )

Secondly, just a big reminder to stay safe and tight to the curb whenever we have a running day.  We are lucky that Parkside Drive is a very wide and quiet street so there is less traffic than on our old track but it pays to stay switched on at all times.

Signing in has been great this week and we look forward to it continuing to be on point.  Remember our coaches want to spend time coaching you and helping you progress and having to race around trying to figure out who forgot to sign in takes time away from us doing that. 

Thank you again for a magnificent opening week and we look forward to hooking in even harder this week!!

Monday: Opening Day...

It's no joke folks.. April 1st is the beginning of a new era at CFTSV and we could not be more excited about the future!  But first some reflective thoughts..

We moved into the High Range Drive facility March 2010 after running most of our early sessions in the car park of our previous building.  The members around in those early days will remember a very narrow but adequate space for the 8-10 keen to tackle this 'fad' known as CrossFit.  We knew we weren't playing with some new toy though and quickly word spread, our classes grew and it wasn't long before we were looking for an upgrade.  Thankfully that came and we were able to secure an extra 150 square metres and with that we were able to step things up.  

Things continued to flourish and thanks to my great mate and CrossFit mentor Brett Fforde we were able to establish a community of hard working, disciplined and motivated athletes.  Even more than this though is the way our community since day dot has supported one another across every endeavour.

So fast forward all the way to the beginning of this year and things just exploded.  This year we have not only seen record numbers in our CrossFit classes but growth across all our programs has been phenomenal and we knew it was time for us to repay the unbelievable faith you have shown in us by taking things to another level.

A month ago we signed a lease to go into the old Pitstop building and and to say there hasn't been some small reservations, doubts and uncertainty would be lying.  Add to that the intimidating thought of moving 10 years worth of equipment into a new establishment.  

Enter you.. the amazing community of this box.  We came up with the plan to do a moving workout and I knew how great our people are so I thought we would get a decent turnout and fair bit of gear moved in the hour and then it was going to be a good, old slog to get the rest of the equipment across to the new place.  How wrong I was... firstly for the record (and it is now officially our new session record) we had 120 people sign into what was our last official class at the old facility.  Then not only was the gear moved but the efficiency with how things were done was just downright astonishing!!

I sat back at one stage and just watched as person after person brought in gear dumped it off and looked for the next job to do and thought, how the hell did we get so lucky to find these incredible people.

The feeling of being a part of something so special is something I just can't do justice to in words but I can tell you it 100% absolutely reinforces why we are making this move and my promise to you is that we will continue to deliver the best program, in the best gym, for the best people.

Now enjoy.. You all deserve it : )

Saturday: 'Moving Day'

This week's Saturday workout is our very last session at High Range Drive with our impending move to the Parkside Drive facility.  There is nothing fancy about what we are going to do.. just roll up the sleeves and carry our stash of KB's, DB's and Slam balls 900m to the 'Super Box'.  We are only running one class, 6am, so we are hoping for a massive turnout to help us in this arduous task.  The bonus is you will get your first glimpse of our new facility that we will be operating from as of Monday 1st April.

Make sure you sign in and let's go out with a bang by smashing our biggest class record of 80 to pieces!

Anyone keen to hang around after is very welcome as we have the rest of our gear to move.  If you have a ute bring it along as it will be greatly appreciated : )

Monday: '19.5'

So it's Thrusters and CTB pull-ups again as our final test for the 2019 Open.  There was plenty of speculation around what would be programmed given the fact we tested pulling strength last week with Bar muscle-ups but true to their 'F-You World' attitude HQ has kept with tradition by giving us a Fran style couplet.  Only difference on this one is the volume is more than double Fran which makes this workout a test of stamina and strategy.

Whether you are re-doing or not please give consideration to your hands as we need them this weekend for our Saturday moving WOD haha.  But seriously manage the volume with some smarts and some thought around not ruining your training week because you are being stubborn.

Thanks to all that attended our Friday Night Lights.. that's competitors, judges and spectators.  It's because of you guys that our FNL is like no other with its electric atmosphere and cauldron like feel. 

In all this year we had 123 CFTSV athletes register for the Open - our best number ever!!!!!!!  The good news is that there are plenty of other opportunities for you to explore your competitive side with the Allstar Alliance Online Pairs next on the agenda followed in July by the Allstar Alliance Townsville event which will this year be held in our very own facility.  Then there is Twins in September and finally the Open (again) in its new place in October.

For now though let's get after 19.5!

Monday: '19.3' Upside Down...

Another Friday Night Lights saw another round of epic performances.  19.3 is a little bit of grunt work to buy in before the workout really begins and becomes a test of strength and skill.  If you don't have strict handstand push-ups yet you will surely be inspired after this workout to work on them and get them in the kit bag.  If you have strict handstand push-ups this workout is all about having awareness of your capabilities and using that to maximise your performance.  We saw plenty of people go out too big here and pay the ultimate price with some very fatigued and tired shoulder in the back end.  Rep management is hugely important in this one to make sure you keep chipping away at those reps.  Can't wait to see everyone have a crack at this one on Re-do Monday : )

CONDITIONING

'19.3'

For time and on a 10 minute cap:

200ft DB Overhead walking lunge 22.5 / 15 kg

Monday: '19.2 is 16.2'

Week 2 of the Open sees a repeat from 2016 where our capacity to cycle the barbell is tested.  Limiting factor for a lot of athletes will be the load and in particular the load at block 3 - 102.5kg for males and 65kg for females.  We need to have this in mind as we strategise in the first blocks and not go out too hard.  Breaking the T2B from the get go is a great tip as this workout is not won here or at the Double unders.  How tough you can be on the barbell, in particular during the block of 85kg cleans for men and 52.5kg for women, is what will decide this one.  Like last week don't forget what Friday night taught you and use that to beat your score.

CONDITIONING

'16.2'

Beginning on an 8-minute clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
  25 toes-to-bars
  50 double-unders
  15 squat cleans, 62.5 / 45 kg
  25 toes-to-bars
  50 double-unders
  13 squat cleans, 85 / 52.5 kg
If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
  25 toes-to-bars
  50 double-unders
  11 squat cleans, 102.5 / 65 kg
If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:

Monday: '19.1' - Quad Control..

Our first Friday Night Lights was a big success with an awesome line up of folks registering to give 19.1 a crack.  Wall balls and Calories in a 15 minute AMRAP was a challenging way to begin the Open but it was met with fierce determination by all athletes.

In all we have a tick over 100 athletes registered this year which is just phenomenal considering with so much on and what everyone has endured in the last month we haven't really given the Open much attention.  

What it highlights for us is that people want to road test their training and the Open is the perfect vehicle for that.  Guaranteed the Open is going to find your weaknesses and give you the right tonic to push your training to another level moving forward.

With 19.1 it is all about your ability to do unbroken Wall balls and maintain a good pace on the erg.  Go out too hot on the erg and you risk blowing the legs up on the Wall balls.  Go out cold and you will lose time that is very hard to get back as the workout progresses.

If you did do 19.1 on Friday night the most important thing of all is to analyse your performance, learn something from it and make an adjustment that will lend itself to an improved performance.

Good luck!!

AMRAP in 15 mins of:

What's Going On..

What a whirlwind start to 2019 it has been!  Our numbers continue to blow us away despite the hardships of the last few weeks and to all those affected by the floods we hope you are getting back on your feet quickly.  It was very inspiring seeing our CFTSV community getting out and about to help folks who had been less fortunate.  A very, very long time personal training client of ours that doesn't do CrossFit with us, couldn't believe the assistance he received despite not knowing any of the people helping out.  

We were very lucky at the box and didn't have any water through but you may have noticed our handicap toilet received some damage.  Unfortunately that means our shower has been out of action too and we apologise for any inconvenience this may be creating for people.  All I will say is hang in there as we are hopeful that it will be fixed quickly and furthermore to that with any luck we are hoping to make an exciting announcement in the next couple of weeks that will change the game totally!!!

The competitive season is well and truly underway with both Jordan and Bayden competing in the Australian CrossFit Championships where Baydo finished an incredible 2nd and Jordan 11th.  Then thanks to the wonderful efforts of our community, Jordan also headed to Cape Town to compete in the Fittest in Cape Town.  8 days of competition in 10 days plus 24 hours of travel sandwiched in the middle...  Crazy!!

A huge Congrats to Sarah for her competition PB at the recent Oly comp she attended in Thailand.  The type of numbers she is on the way to could see Sarah earn herself a spot in the 2020 Olympic squad!!!  We are so proud of you Sarah and what you have achieved so far and can't wait to see what's next!!

Pictured (Rik, Cal, Elanze, Sam) is our crew that headed to Atherton to compete in the Red Dirt Teams comp this weekend just gone and at the time of writing they were more than holding their own.  Well done to those guys for making the effort to get up there and throwdown!!

Then of course the madness of the Open begins this Friday night!  What does that mean??  Well for starters we won't have a Friday night class for the next 5 weeks.  Apologies for the inconvenience here guys, especially as we have had some whooping numbers to our Friday night classes but I encourage you to sign up for the Open and test yourself against the rest of the CrossFit community in an event that never ceases to amaze.

So instead of Friday night classes we have Friday Night Lights.  This is where anyone registered for the Open can sign up for a heat and have their crack at whatever is programmed each week.  We are only allowing athletes registered in the Open to compete on Friday nights so I encourage you to jump onto the games.crossfit.com website and get yourself signed up.  Later this week heats will be available via our app so stay tuned for that.

Welcome to our first group of Fundamentals that have already come through their course and entered into main classes. A big welcome also to all our new members that have started 2019 with us and we hope your year has started strongly.  Our next Fundamentals course begins March 11th and keep your ears out for a Bring a Friend Day just before that..

We have made some adjustments to our CrossFit Kids schedule and in doing so we have cracked record numbers especially in our Teens group.  Thanks to the awesome work Bryce, Elanze, Kristy and Caitlin are putting in it seems the future at CFTSV is looking very, very bright.

Have a great week team and we look forward to seeing you in the gym this week!!

Monday: Public Holiday = Aussie Hero

Classes today for the Australia Day Public Holiday are 4pm, 5pm and 6pm.

Classes will be capped and there is no guarantee you will be able to slide in on the day so please sign in : )

In true CFTSV fashion we will be honouring two Australian servicemen with the Australian Hero WOD

'McDonald and Gallagher'

A little insight into these great men....

PTE Galagher & LCPL McDonald were serving together with the Special Operations Task Group in Afghanistan when they were tragically killed in a helicopter crash on 30 August, 2012.

McDonald enjoyed the heavy lifts such as front squats, and was known to swing up a kettlebell. Strength was his game. Therefore, the front squat and kettlebell swings are for him.

PTE Galagher was a man who loved his metabolic conditioning workouts. He was fast, strong,
and quick to find a pull up bar for his fitness programming. The pull-ups and 200m run are for him.

Lest we forget..

In a team of 2 -

2 rounds for time of:

200m run
16 KB swings 24 / 16 kg
16 Pull-ups
16 Front squats 50 / 35 kg
200m run
14 KB swings 24 / 16 kg
14 Pull-ups
14 Front squats 50 / 35 kg
200m run
12 KB swings 24 / 16 kg
12 Pull-ups
12 Front squats 50 / 35 kg

* Alternating rounds with your partner. E.g. P1 does 200m run, 16 KB swings, 16 Pull-ups, 16 Front squats then tags P2 who does the round of 14 reps. Continue in this fashion for 2 rounds.
