Sign up for the 800gram Nutrition Challenge!!

Two weeks ago on Facebook and in the Newsletter we dropped details on our next nutrition challenge: the #800gChallenge™. You can now signup HERE.   Note, we are starting a week later than we previously indicated to give people time to signup in the coming week.

So, What is the #800gChallenge?
The #800gChallenge is a fun and inclusive twist on eating healthy. First, there are NO foods to eliminate. That’s right! All you have to do is eat 800 grams, by weight, of fruits and vegetables each day. Why? It’s a simplified way to get all those servings of fruits and vegetables that are associated with health.

This challenge is by EC Synkowski of OptimizeMe Nutrition, a certified CrossFit Level 4 Coach who has educated thousands of individuals on nutrition.

Why a Challenge At All? 
Yes, you come to our affiliate for the workouts - but nutrition is AS IMPORTANT AS WORKING OUT. Re-read that. We get it! In our modern busy lives, we are ALL subject to falling off the proverbial nutrition wagon. We use challenges to provide that same group atmosphere that’s successful for workouts. It’s about getting back on the wagon, challenging yourself, and/or learning something new about your nutrition.

Cost
$40

Dates
Monday 11th February - Sunday 10th March

Ok, Ok, I’m In!

Great! Sign-up HERE

Want to Learn More?
Come to our member meeting this Friday, 8th Feb at 7pm to hear all the rules of the challenge.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW to GET EXCITED about the CROSSFIT OPEN at CFB in 2018

CrossFit Open 
A competition that runs for 5 weeks, with one workout per week. 
It is held all around the world at local CrossFit Boxes, with everyone completing the same workout

It is for EVERYONE

Alternate times can be arranged every week! Just let Wendy know what you need.
Early or late heat times can be organised 
Monday at 7am, 8am and 7pm will be available as alternate times
You can also ask for other arrangements
There will be NO CLASSES running on Friday nights. If you want to train Friday afternoon you can! BUT you will be doing the Open workout and will be allocated to a heat. You will need to be on the heat list to get a start, regardless of whether you are registered or not. You can still request a specific heat time if you are not registered.
There will be a sign up sheet at Reception for any non-registered members to join in the fun on Friday nights. Registered athletes only need to notify Wendy if they are NOT competing on Friday night, and the alternate time will be booked in.

Class WARS of 2018 - May the fittest Class win!
This year we will have an Internal Comp between the classes at CFB. Do all your official sign up at https://games.crossfit.com/register/athlete ,then at the gym, declare the class you represent! The board near the reception desk will have the Class Team lists. Once the Open starts, you cannot change your team. If you train in different classes, declare for the class which reflects YOU the most.
Each week the ‘Class’ leaderboard will be updated. The scoring system will be similar to the system used for the Affiliate Teams. Loz is our Class Team head judge and she will keep you updated with all the scores and information. **Class names and uniforms are encouraged and remember… your classes reputation is on the line!

Hero Helpers! Please let Wendy know if you can volunteer:
Set Up Crew - Friday afternoon from 3pm
