Don’t think we don’t see you. Don’t think people don’t recognize your efforts. Motivators by word. Motivators by efforts. Both are equal in importance!
This month’s Motivator fits the bill completely!
Congratulations to Amanda S. on being selected as April’s Motivator of the Month!!! Please let Sandy know if you’d like a free 1 hour massage or loyalty points added to your account!
April Challenge
Snow in March got you down? Not feeling lucky this St. Patty’s Day? Our April attendance challenge is the perfect thing to turn things around and create your own luck!! See Wednesday’s post for more details and sign up today!!
All Out In Berks - Volunteers Needed
We’re in need of a few CFers to volunteer for the AOIB on April 1st. The event will run from about 8 AM - 1 PM, and will be a fun time encouraging some awesome athletes and seeing some incredible feats of athleticism! A bunch of other local gyms are participating, so it’ll be a great way to meet some others who share your passion for fitness. If you’re in, sign up at the front desk today!
CrossFit Open
Speaking of volunteering, judging the CrossFit Open workouts is a great way to sharpen your skills at recognizing good and bad movements / reps. This week’s workout is a 13-minute time cap of 4 exercises everyone is familiar with. If you’ve got 13 minutes to spare after tonight, Saturday 9:15, Sunday, or Monday’s PM class, please stick around! And a reminder: you don’t have to complete the CrossFit judge’s course to judge competitors this year!
Open gym times are continuing thanks to our PSU student trainers!
We have added:
Sat 10:30 - 11:30am
Sunday 9:30 - 10:30am
Snow in March, just a few days before spring’s arrival, gotcha down? We have the perfect thing to help get your mind off of it….A CHALLENGE!
This is a challenge ANYONE can do. It’s an Attendance Challenge.
Rules are on the flyer attached, but key points to know:
1. Runs the entire month of April.
2. Must Pre-enter the challenge before the start of the month by signing up at front desk.
It’s a very simple challenge, and will result in a huge reward for a lucky challenger!
Sign up to commit! Nothing to lose here folks!
Our “Motivate a Friend” event began Saturday 2/11 and goes through Wednesday 2/15. Bring any or all friends who you have been wanting to expose to CF - now is the time!
It goes without saying, but if you’re in a class with a newbie, remember to introduce yourself and show / represent what CF is all about!
If Target is doing it, then so are we! Stores are getting ready for the Fall and Back to School, and we need to make way for some cool new Fall/Winter apparel and gear too!
We are having a Flash Sale beginning Thursday, July 28th at 6:30AM and ending Monday, 8/1 at 6:30PM.
All items are at 50% off, which is equal to an $11.00 sale price.
OR, you can mix and match to purchase 2 items for $20.00!
The weather is hot, but those deals are even HOTTER! Get them before they run out!
THIS SUNDAY May 15th is the CF Pinnacle Hike:
Join us for a social hike up to the Pinnacle overlook near Hamburg. Meet at CF ready to leave the parking lot at 8:30 AM, or meet in the Hamburg reservoir parking lot by 9 AM. Rain date TBD if necessary. Out and back hike, approximately 7 miles, slow pace, plan for it to take most of the day / returning early to mid afternoon. If you do 8:30 AM class, you probably can hike quickly and meet up with the group even if you get there around 10 AM, or we’ll eventually cross paths because it’s an out and back hike… Just a thought for the FOMO CFers.
TEACHER + NURSE APPRECIATION
We’re rolling out a new pricing schedule for our teacher and nurses! Check out the top of CF’s fees page for more information!
