For 2019 we’ve been working to build out an events schedule for the year so that people can plan accordingly and get involved if they are interested. We hope that you all hop in and take part in something. The first large event on the calendar for us will be our new, and hopefully yearly, internal Throwdown. We’ve thought about trying to last minute put a winter party together, however it might be a little late for that. With that being said if anyone has any ideas, that would be easy to throw together, please let us know. What we have below fills out our year pretty well, we may add something else small, but we hope this gives you all an opportunity to get involved with an event with the gym community. Sunday, April 14th – Spring Cleaning While not much of an…

That’s right, you read it right, we won’t be participating in the CrossFit Open this year, at least not formally. Since the Open started in 2011 we have been involved as a gym and participated every year. We saw our participation balloon to over 150 people in 2013/2014 and since it has dropped drastically, to less than 50 people actually completing all 5 weeks of the workouts last year. In the past, for many, I know having Regionals is what really spurred much of our attendance. Not because you all had a chance to qualify, but because the prospect of our individuals competing, getting a team in as well, really gave our community something to rally behind. As you all should know at this point, Regionals is gone. There is no more qualifying a team, there is no more individual competition at the…

I like to try and give you guys a little heads up on programming whenever possible. I’ve missed getting the information out our last few shifts and want to give you guys a little heads up where we are going. First, nothing is drastically changing. Part of what makes CrossFit so great is the constant variation, but at the same time having consistency and repetitiveness is also important. As summer is fully here, did we even get a spring, we’ll be making a little more of an emphasis on being outside. That means working in more carries and sleds in some work outs and of course running 2-3x week. In addition as we made a note of recently we’ll be now laying down a benchmark conditioning piece weekly. This could be anything from the classic “girls,” to a Hero workout, a mono-structural conditioning…

As CVCF starts to close in on its 8th Birthday, wow, we’ve seen our brand continue to grow in some aspects and fall in others. While people within the CrossFit community know CVCF throughout the world, it’s amazing how many people in the Chittenden County area don’t actually know about CrossFit, let alone Champlain Valley CrossFit. As we’ve been doing some work on our website, social media presence, etc. we’ve come to realize that while we have the largest CrossFit community in the area, we’ve been open the longest, we have a relatively poor presence in terms of our reviews and feedback about our facility. The majority of the athletes that actually train at CVCF have never “reviewed” us, mainly out-of-towners, so it’d be awesome if any of our regular athletes could do so. So with that said, if you’d like to help…
