8/28 - 9/2: R&R...it's real!

I was reminded today about how important rest and relaxation is! As much as we all push ourselves to be better, do the right thing, do ALL the things sometimes it pays to stop for a moment and make sure you do something you love.

We can’t be all perfect, in fact we are not supposed to be. Life can overwhelm us and our lives are acted out by rote. If you feel like you’re stuck or something is off I encourage you to stop. Take time to register how you feel, quiet your inner critic to try to understand what is making you feel like this?

Then take a long, deep breath, acknowledge the feeling and let it go as you breathe out. Turn the narrative around and ask yourself what would make you feel good? Is it getting some sun, taking a walk, spending time with your family? Whatever it is go and do it! If you can’t do it straight away, make a plan and keep it.

We all need those moments of joy, no matter how big or small. By taking the time for yourself and it will relax and recharge you. It will also help bring you back into a positive mind set. These moments to reset are invaluable in our busy lives!!

We are excited as Coach Alex will be leading new Foundations classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 5.15pm

  • Foundations classes are open to new members and existing members and will be capped at 6 people for additional individual attention

  • Beneficial if you are new to CrossFit or FCCF :)

  • Foundations classes will have their own unique programming and will focus on technique, complex movements (e.g., snatch), and gymnastics skills

  • Learn how to scale and when to scale

  • Coach Alex is taking on a larger role at FCCF and will be coaching additional classes (welcome back Thursday noon!).

    Of course check out the schedule on MINDBODY to book your next session.

8/7 - 8/12: Squat Cycle Starting this week

The new squat cycle starts this week and we couldn’t be more excited! We kick off on Monday with 3 x 7 and then some great accessory lifts to complement the squatting. Can’t wait to see you all make some great technical improvements and gains over the coming weeks.

Here’s what’s in store for the week…

7/30 - 8/5 Squat Cycle!!

Coming soon….a squat cycle! Next week, we’ll be starting a 9 week squat program. To get a sense of where we are, we’ll be building to a heavy single on Tuesday this week – don’t worry, this isn’t a one-rep max test. It’s just meant to give you a baseline number to use as reference during the cycle. More details on the squat cycle coming next week but expect to see one day a week focused on back squats, in three sets of three week waves. For now, here’s what’s coming up this week:

7/3 - 7/8: Happy Independence Day

It’s the 4th of July which means family time, picnics and fireworks. Luckily the Bay Area weather has finally been cooperating and it feels like summer.

We are running classes on Tuesday 7/4 @ at 8 & 9:15am and have some special programming given the holiday so book through MindBody and get a workout in before you start celebrating, other than that it’s business as usual for the rest of the week.

We hope you all have a great holiday!!
