Hello Bishop CrossFitters!
Wanted to give everyone a heads up as to what's going on at the gym this summer. Lot's of good stuff so far and much more to come, that's what's going on! We've implemented a new introduction to CrossFit and so far we have had one person come through the whole curriculum in one piece! Mark Reistetter was our first athlete to complete the series of 15 rigorous personal training sessions with Paul and me. We put him through the wringer and he came out the other end a better/healthier man for it! If you see Mark (Rice) in any of your classes, give the man a pat on the back for a job well done so far. There will be a few more athletes coming on board into the classes soon! The new start up curriculum is very thorough and I can't imagine a better Intro to CrossFit than what we now offer, so if you know of anyone thinking of starting with us, don't hesitate to have them give a call.
Other big news is that we have three of our members heading down for a Level I Certification later this month. Jeremy Masters, Krista Cooper, and Andres Cikota will be down in Laguna Hills at CrossFit Ethos and will be put to the CrossFit test. I am confident that the three of them will represent our community in the very best way. Good luck you guys!!! Also, I will be attending an Olympic Lifting certification in August at South Tahoe CrossFit with the well know Coach Mike Burgener! There is still space left in this two day certification, so if you have any interest in spending a whole weekend studying the clean & jerk, and snatch, let me know and I'll advise you on how to sign up.
But wait there's more!!! At this point all things are go on opening Mammoth CrossFit at the beginning of August. We finally found a suitable facility and are now hoping to open up a full frontal assault on the fitness community of the Eastern Sierra!!! It's fun to think of having a friendly rivalry between Mammoth and Bishop!
Let's see what else is happening... Our "Best Shape of Your Life Challenge" is in full swing and several of us are on a really great track to see some fantastic fitness and health gains. (Thanks again to Cyndee for the awesome blog.) We're working with Nils and Keri of Nils Davis Design on putting together a new website that will hopefully cover both of our locations. Coaches Pablo and Meghan are enjoying some time off with the family in the New England area. We have some gym closure dates which are posted on the board at the gym. Molly is still holding strong at almost seven months pregnant, and is still working out five days a week!!! And I know there's more, but I'll have to get to it later... Thanks so much to all of you for being a part of the family, and we'll see you soon!!!
Ah-ha! One last thing. If you have the time and feel inspired to write a testimonial for what CrossFit has done for you, we'd love to hear what you have to say. I'd like for people "out there" to hear directly from our members what an awesome program we have!!! Thanks again...
