Evening you lovely lot. I hope this Thursday evening/Friday morning finds you all well and firmly back into your lockdown routine.
There have been a good number of you all attending the zoom classes, so cool to see and very important for you to do so. Personally, I always dread a zoom call until I’m on it. It’s weird and not how humans evolved to communicate, but once you’re on it’s a good crack. Keep it up.
Just a small update as unfortunately we (business owners) have yet again been offered no communication from the Government. I have to look out for news updates and releases to get the same knowledge and warning for change as any other Joe pubic.
Meaning that I have no idea how long this is set to last for. I have heard multiple rumours, but we all know about rumours.
There are set to be reviews, and I will adjust any plans based upon such. Below are just some bullet points of ideas and information. Please feel free to comment or get in touch, any of you in wither the lads/lasses what app groups can simply request my number from there should you need to reach out (if you aren’t on either or, please again request to be added).
Zoom classes will continue as well as a zoom social. Keep your eyes peeled for that. CrossFit Cardiff officially opened it’s doors 10 years ago on February 6th. Some Brewdog will be consumed on that day!
Equipment can still be loaned out. Should you not have any then please please get in touch.
A bi-weekly strength program (understanding current equipment restrictions) and gymnastics movement program will soon be released.
I am developing a plan (based upon an estimated length for lockdown) for reducing membership fees.
Personally I would like to add a huge thank you to everyone who has continued to support local. I opened the doors to this what was very soon to be amazing gym nearly 10 years ago, not knowing if anyone would actually walk through the doors.
I was already working full time on a front line Emergency Ambulance as well as studying at Swansea Uni, f**k knows where I thought I would get the time to coach a class. How glad I am that I did.
Never did I think that I would be forced to close those doors, three times by the UK government, told that I couldn’t work.
At the time I was competitive, and at the time I was a high level CrossFit athlete. After only a short time coaching I understood how that although cool, wasn’t what made my heart sing. Developing a community which was wonderfully welcoming yet fiercely loyal meant so much more.
You all communicate that message daily, in what you might think to be simple tasks, gestures or good will, or with an importance laid on a mantra…as our moto has always been…Facta Non Verbal…Deeds Not Words.
CrossFit Cardiff WoD
5 rounds for time:
10 Power cleans
20 Back squats*
*goblet squats
Loading
Loading is dictated by the power cleans. You should load to a weight that you are able to perform all 5 rounds of with one break. Hold yourself accountable to this, as the stimulus of the workout will alter significantly should you load too heavily.
