Next Programming Block – Fall 2015 to the New Year

Upcoming Programming As always I try and give you guys all a little heads up as to where we are going in the coming weeks/months whenever we start a new block of programming. We just topped off a big 12 week block where we had a few main focuses in our strength work which were squatting, single leg strength and stability, pressing, and midline strength. Below will give you a basic outline of what you can expect to see in the coming 12 weeks and I STRONGLY suggest you not only read it, but think about what YOU as an athlete personally need, not what the rest of the classes needs, and what your personal goals are with your time spent at Champlain Valley CrossFit. As I have historically programmed there will be consistency within our strength work, you can expect to see the…

Fall Gear Order

It’s that time of year, we are doing a HUGE gear order. We’re keeping things simple with our print but also doing something a little new. If there is something you specifically want put your name down. There will be extra T-shirts ordered for our gym stock, but other than that there will be no extra sweatshirts or long sleeve thermals ordered. All items will be ordered in Unisex, for sizing reference Dani is a Small, Jade is a Large, I’m sure you guys can figure where you fit in between that. Links and info is below, again if you want something put your name down, you’re account will be charged when the gear comes in, no sooner, or later. Orders can be put in on the google docs form HERE. Please note there is a separate tab at the bottom left for…

CrossFit Games “Week” Schedule

As you all know, or at least I think know, myself, Dani, Laura, Kristi, and Mat are all headed out to the CrossFit Games this weekend. Because of this our coaching staff is limited and we’ve had to cancel some classes. I’ve made every effort possible aside from staying home to keep as many classes scheduled, but in the end we did have to cancel some. Please be mindful of the schedule, and please be aware the coaches running classes are all working other full-time jobs so the gym won’t be open all day long. In the morning the gym will be closing promptly at 8:30 AM (7:15 AM on Monday, July 27th), and the gym will be opening back up around 3:45 PM (around 5:00 PM on Thursday July 23rd). I appreciate everyone’s understanding and thank you all for your support leading…

Going to the CrossFit Games

It’s pretty damn amazing to see what our gym accomplishes day in and day out. From people getting there first pull-up, hitting a PR on a Front Squat, all the way up to qualifying for the CrossFit Games. This year there will be 280 individual athletes competing at the CrossFit Games. That’s 280 boiled down from some 275,000 participants in the Open this year and FOUR of those athletes are from Champlain Valley CrossFit. Holy $hit. That means just shy of 1.5% of the athletes competing as individuals at the CrossFit Games are from our gym. 5 years ago when we opened, when there were only 2,000 affiliates that would have been a big deal. Now with some 13,000 affiliates and a few million active CrossFit athletes at affiliates I find it almost ridiculous that we’ve been able to now send 4 athletes this year, and we’re talking…
