12/18 - 12/23: Happy Holidays

To our wonderful community thank you for being part of FCCF. It was delightful to see so many people attend our end of year / town hall last week at Barebottle. At this time of year the board likes to reflect and we truly are grateful to each and every one of you!!

Don’t forget we’ll be running our annual 12 days of Christmas WOD so sign up with MindBody as this a FUN one.

Enjoy the time you have and spending it with family and friends and make sure you also take time for yourself to relax and recharge. We are looking forward to 2024 and will be kicking off the year with our traditional Healthy Habits competition.

11/20 - 11/25: HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hi folks and Happy Thanksgiving week! With the holiday we’ll be reducing classes and the gym schedule will look a little differently.

Thanksgiving Day - classes will be limited to the morning. We’ll be doing our traditional Lumberjack 20 WOD, so be sure to come and work out together and then off for family and friends time.

Black Friday will also be a reduced schedule so check MindBody but we’ll be back with a normal schedule on Saturday.

Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!! We are thankful to each and every one of you and our community who show up every single day ❤️🦃🥧

11/6 - 11/11: It's officially dark...

Well that’s a wrap on summer folks with daylight savings coming into effect on the weekend. It’s always a weird time of year with these nice days and yet it is now getting dark by 530pm.

We know sometimes with the holiday season approaching there’s a lot of pressure. Fitness helps with not only your physical self but also mental. So be sure to keep up your enthusiasm and consistency is the key to achieving your goals no matter when it gets light or dark or what holiday is around the corner!!

Don’t forget we’ll be doing the Chad workout in partner form on Saturday in honour of Vetrans Day so sign up, and get ready for 500 box step ups…

We’ll see you at the gym!!

10/23 - 10/28: Olympic Lift Cycle

It’s exciting to kick off our second week where we have one day focused on Olympic Lifting. We often find these lifts in our WODs but spending time specifically on the lifts and really honing in on technique is going to have major benefits for us all. So dust off your lifting shoes if you have them and looking forward to seeing everyone progress as the cycle continues.

10/9 - 10/14:Are you a Candy Corn fan?

******* It’s the last week of our squat cycle!!!! You’ve been putting in all the hard work now it’s time to see it pay off with a new 1RM. Don’t miss Tuesday’s class to find out!! ******

October brings about a special season…the Spooky Season. Whether or not you are a Halloween fan (we’ve been doing some polling and most people in fact are) one of the most divisive but beloved Question of the Day of all time is: Are you a Candy Corn fan?

Not having being born in the US I couldn’t really understand what all the fuss was about. Then I set about doing some research which involved actually tasting it for the first time, and I’m not going to lie I didn’t hate it. It’s definitely intriguing as it doesn’t taste of corn, could I tell the layers apart? no, was the texture funny? yes, was it too sweet? yes, but by tasting it I couldn’t really understand still why it causes such a rift. I did also tasted a chocolate variation which I liked, but only because the chocolate flavour came out.

9 billion pieces are produced annually so folks out there are eating it. It’s a staple at this time of year and a popular costume too so prepare yourself accordingly for being surrounded by it.

We look forward to hearing your answer to this controversial question this month, maybe you might even be able to change hearts and minds with a passionate answer.
