As always we like to give everyone a heads up when we make changes in the gym. First I want to thank everyone who was kind enough to give us their feedback in our survey earlier this year. While we always have an idea/vision/direction for CVCF, getting some feedback about what you are all looking for helps us fine-tune that vision in hopes of providing our gym community as a whole with the options you’re all looking for the most. First up, we’ve decided to add another class to our schedule. Dani will be running our new “Core Mobility” class Wednesday mornings at 8:00 AM. This class will be a blend of Yoga, Mobility, Core and PT work. The class will be an hour long with a goal of helping your bodies feel “fresh” and providing a class that will help drive some…

My Thoughts: Where is the Sport of CrossFit Going   Be aware this is a slightly lengthy read, and one that jumps around a little. I’m just putting my thoughts down, I am not a journalist…in addition I typed this all up in one sitting this morning and proof-read it once. I’m not a grammar scholar, and this is just an extended blog post, so I’m sure this thing is littered with grammatical errors, take it for what it is.   A lot has happened since the CrossFit Games ended in August of 2018. The sport has been turned on its a head a little bit and no one knows what the future ultimately holds. While I don’t consider myself an OG in the CrossFit world, I still got into the sport, fitness trend, and business pretty early on and before it really…

As you hopefully all know by now, CVCF will not be formally participating in the Open. With that being said if you’d like to participate and do the workouts we think that’s great. We have registered the gym, and you will be able to perform workouts and submit scores to be validated that are performed in the gym at CVCF. For those who would like to participate in the open this is the general breakdown and what your options are. Performing the workout…back room whenever the gym is open and there aren’t classes going on in the back room. In addition you can perform the workout on Saturday’s during the Open Gym session, or Sunday during Open Gym. PLEASE do not expect to be able to just do the workout in the main space if classes are going on. Judging. If you’d like…

As you all know we put out a schedule for the year of events which covers a good portion of the year except for right now. We’ve worked to get something put together which will be super fun for everyone. We’ve reserved Stowe Bowl, in Stowe to get some food and bowling in and a great time with everyone. Details… – Time 5:00-7:00 PM on Saturday, March 2nd. We can’t encourage enough, don’t show-up fashionably late. We have the entire venue reserved for us. However, at 7:00 PM it will open back-up to the public, so we’d encourage, if anything, you show-up 15-20 minutes early to maximize the time you paid for. – Cost includes rental of the venue, ball, shoes, food, tax and tip. It won’t be a full dinner, but there should be ample food to snack on and possibly fill-up…

We’ve mentioned in class the last week that we will rotating into a different block of squat work. Going forward for the next 12 weeks we will be focusing predominately on Single Leg work on Monday’s. Something we have certainly made a part of our Monday programming in the past but not the dominant force. With this block we’ll be looking one to strengthen up your legs in a uni-lateral fashion which will hopefully help work out some in-balances, but also this will give your body a break by stepping back from the heavy loading, at least in terms of squatting for a little bit. Through this block you will have 3 strength oriented pieces on Monday that will look like this…. 1 – Base: This is our large mover and building block movement for the 12 weeks. We are still looking for…
