🎄🕎🥳 Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! 

It was great to see so many of you at the holiday party and workouts the last couple of weeks! We hope you have a great holiday season and are able to do something that energizes you, whether that’s catching up on rest, traveling, seeing friends & family, or all of the above! Here are a few announcements to keep in mind over the break: 

• We are running a limited schedule 12/23/24 - 1/5/25, but will plan to have 2-4 classes each day depending on sign-ups. 

• Please sign up the day before classes as we may cancel based on no sign-ups.

• We will not have any classes on Christmas Day. Annual members with off-hours access are welcome to come in per usual.

• New Year’s Day we are planning to have 8 and 9:15am classes to do The Chief

• Our next free New Member onboarding is Saturday, 1/4/25 at 12pm, tell your friends to sign up here! 

💪 Annual Healthy Habits Challenge!

We’ll be kicking off our annual January Healthy Habits challenge on 1/1/25! We encourage you to pick a habit (or a few!) that you want to strengthen or develop anew in 2025. Pick up a tracking sheet at the gym and add a sticker when you’ve accomplished a goal for the day. Some possible new and/or improved habits include: 

• Less/no booze

• Drink more water

• Sleep more

• Less refined sugar

• Build consistency: come to FCCF 3+ times/week

• Pick your own!

We will be raffling off prizes at the end of January for participants, so come on in and get those healthy habits going!

🪅 SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!

🦃In this season of thanksgiving, we are so grateful for you — for showing up, for cheering on your teammates, for respecting the coaches and the gym space, and for bringing your authentic self every time.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, we’re going to be running a holiday schedule with 8am and 9:15am classes only and our traditional WOD, the “Lumberjack 20” (20 reps of 7 different movements separated by 400 meter runs).

🎢 Ready for some (high) steppin’ action?! Join us on Monday, 11/11!

We’re kicking off the week with our traditional Veteran’s Day WOD “Chad,” which is 1,000 box step-ups for time. This WOD is dedicated to Chad Michael Wilkinson of the US Navy, who took his life on October 29, 2018 after 22 years of active service.

Chad’s workout and life inspired the creation of The Step Up Foundation @thestepupfoundation, which features the workout in a virtual “CHAD 1000X” event, bringing together athletes from around the world to raise awareness of the epidemic of veteran suicide and to help be part of the solution by supporting veteran health initiatives.

On Monday, November 11, we remember Chad Wilkinson and thank all of our FCCF members who have served and continue to our serve in our military. We are grateful that you are here.

🍂 Happy first official week of November! You got this.

💌 And don’t forget to cast your ballot, mail in your ballot, or drop off your ballot by Tuesday, November 5th. Check out how to vote here: https://www.sf.gov/ways-vote.

The second best part of every Saturday is seeing the whiteboard full of a week’s worth of scores (the first best part is the “Sweaty Saturday” partner workout, of course!).

This is your reminder to just keep showing up, day after day. We love to see you and your progress!
