She loves the fact that she can just show up and do the work, without having to plan.. She says, “ I like pushing myself and CrossFit naturally provides that opportunity.”</p> <p>CrossFit has helped Kim in all aspects of her life. “I feel like it’s sort of paying it forward to yourself to stay active.” 🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏻</p> <p>To get to know Kim a little better we asked her to share some unique facts that we might not know about. “I have been married for 21 years and have 4 kids, 19, 17, 16, &amp;12. I have a nursing degree and played soccer but being a mom is the most challenging and rewarding thing I have ever done.”</p> <p>We asked Kim what advice she would give someone who is thinking about starting their fitness journey, Here’s what she said. “I would recommend CrossFit to anyone who’s thinking about it. I have been in classes with 8 year olds to 80 year olds. Everything is scalable! Don’t be intimidated, and always come back no matter how sore you are. CrossFit is a worldwide gym that becomes part of your family.”</p> <p>Kim, we love having you in our classes. You’re strong with crazy endurance! Keep it up!</p> <p> </p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em><strong>The August Committed Club winner is Kacie Garrison!</strong></em></h2> <p><em><strong>CONGRATULATIONS KACIE!!</strong></em></p> <p><img alt="Image removed." class="wp-image-24588 filter-image-invalid" src="/core/misc/icons/e32700/error.svg" title="This image has been removed.

The most important part is that you are doing some kind of movement practice each day!</p> <p><strong>-If I miss the committed club for a given month or quarter, will that affect the next month or quarter?</strong></p> <p>No, each month and quarter are considered separately from previous months and quarters.</p> <p><strong>-Will I get a bonus for exceeding 15 visits in a calendar month?  Can I use extra visits towards a past or future month?</strong></p> <p>No, the focus of the committed club is rewarding you for being consistent each month, so there are no additional rewards for exceeding 15 visits or ways to transfer extra visits to other months.  As it relates to the committed club, having 15 visits or 30 visits in a given month are equally as awesome.</p> <p><strong>-What if I forget to sign in?</strong></p> <p>You are responsible for signing in each day so please remember to do this before every class, during open gym or for an at home workout (At Home is in Wodify).  If you forget to sign in, you can reach out to one of our coaches to add you to the attendance roster for that day or sign in on the Wodify App.</p> <p><strong>**Share the love…Remember to check in to CrossFit Preferred on Facebook and Instagram and use the hashtags below.**</strong></p> <p>#cfpcommitted #crossfitpreferred</p></div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 25 Aug 2023 14:22:10 +0000 Kris 68 at https://www.crossfitpreferred.com https://www.crossfitpreferred.com/blog/gym-news/cfp-happenings-august-2023-newsletter <span class="field-wrapper">CFP Happenings August 2023 Newsletter</span> <span class="field-wrapper"><span lang="" about="/user/5" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Kris</span></span> <span class="field-wrapper">Fri, 08/25/2023 - 14:04</span> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell medium-12"> <section class="block block-system block-system-breadcrumb-block"> <nav role="navigation" aria-labelledby="system-breadcrumb"> <h2 id="system-breadcrumb" class="visually-hidden">You are here</h2> <ul class="breadcrumbs"> <li> <a href="/">Home</a> </li> <li> <a href="/blog/gym-news">Gym News</a> </li> <li class="current"><a href="#"></a></li> </ul> </nav> </section> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodeblogfield-image"> <div class="field-wrapper image field field-node--field-image field-name-field-image field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items field-items blog-page-image-slider-wrapper"> <div class="field-item"> <a href="/blog/gym-news/cfp-happenings-august-2023-newsletter" hreflang="en"><img src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/styles/hero_image_xlarge1920_1079/public/image/2024-01/blog_post_logo.jpg?itok=rjtsjR_F" width="1920" height="1079" alt="logo" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x tb-spacer"> <div class="cell medium-3"> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockbasic"> <div class="inner-wrapper"> </div> </section> </div> <div class="cell medium-6"> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodeblogfield-video"> <div class="field-wrapper field field-node--field-video field-name-field-video field-type-entity-reference field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><article> <div class="field-wrapper field field-media--field-media-oembed-video field-name-field-media-oembed-video field-type-string field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><iframe src="/media/oembed?url=https%3A//youtu.be/_5m6RoPOoHY&amp;max_width=640&amp;max_height=360&amp;hash=szaCiGtWu-Xusk2Ol3b1oI7OqGQWNsB6n0tVFGF4Mkc" frameborder="0" allowtransparency width="640" height="360" class="media-oembed-content" title="Brig Woods Shares His Success with The Macro Way"></iframe> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="cell medium-3"> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockbasic"> <div class="inner-wrapper"> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid-container"> <div class="grid-x"> <div class="cell medium-12"> <section class="block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodeblogbody"> <div class="field-wrapper body field field-node--body field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item"><ol> <li>Athlete of the Month - Brig Woods!

Starting August 7th we will be affiliated with Mayhem Athlete Affiliate Programming.</strong></p> <p><br /> As coaches our number one priority is to provide a workout experience that gives time to teach our members how to improve and grow in a structured and safe way. By switching to Mayhem programming we will be able to offer different “levels” to the Metcon each day.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Compete</strong>: This track is for those looking for an extra push. If you are someone who likes to compete locally this track is for you. It is considered RX+.</li> <li><strong>Freedom</strong>: This track is considered RX. If you generally do the workouts as they are written on the board, this track is for you</li> <li><strong>Independence</strong>: This track is a scaled version of the RX Freedom version. It is designed for those that are still learning and may not have all the CrossFit skills mastered</li> <li><strong>Liberty</strong>: This track is modified to be the least technical. It is designed for those that are brand new to CrossFit or may have limitations.</li> </ul> <p><strong>In addition to our every day CrossFit workouts you will have access to several different tracks including:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Body Building</li> <li>Olympic Lifting</li> <li>At Home Workouts</li> <li>Endurance</li> <li>Running</li> <li>Spin</li> <li>L.I.F.E - geared towards senior citizens</li> <li>Teens</li> <li>Monthly Challenge</li> </ul> <p><strong>Here is a look into the training cycle “Here Comes The Boom” for the next 8 weeks</strong></p> <p><strong>Strength</strong>: This cycle is designed to help gain strength and consistency in the Olympic Lifts with added power lifts mixed in. We will work on the Snatch (squat), Clean (squat), and Push Jerk. Strength will be held to just 3 days per week, with two lifts performed on 2 of the days and a single power lift on the 3rd.</p> <p><strong>Workouts</strong>: Skill and Volume will start to build while athletes will want to try new movements and events completed in the CrossFit Games. We will add certain events from the competition throughout the next couple of weeks (Affiliate style) for all to enjoy!</p> <p><strong>Monthly Challenges: Each month there will be a new challenge that we can all participate in together! </strong></p> <ul> <li>The month of August is an Ab Challenge!</li> <li>Monday-Friday there will be a new challenge in Wodify</li> <li>All those who complete ALL the workouts will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 credit towards anything in our retail area.</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Challenge:</strong> Complete ALL 23 Ab Challenge Workouts in August. A different workout will be given every weekday in August (Saturdays and Sundays are off). This is a challenge that ANY fitness level can participate in. We will give modification options for each workout.</p> <p><strong>Challenge Dates:</strong> Every weekday (Monday through Friday) in August.<br /> <br /> <strong>Scoring:</strong> Score each Ab Challenge workout completed. You cannot make up for past days, so get it done on the day it’s listed.<br /> <br /> On August 31st, there will be a separate score where you note if you successfully completed the challenge every weekday throughout the challenge.</p> <p>We are so excited for this new change! If you have any questions feel free to ask any of your coaches or Meghan at the front desk! </p> <p>Athlete of the Month - Autumn Sutherland!</p> <p><img alt="autumn image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32fa8a4f-5aca-4791-b6f9-19f73fe605e2" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/Autumn-1.jpg" class="align-left" width="645" height="645" loading="lazy" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Today’s member spotlight goes out to  Autumn Sutherland! Autumn has been a member for 4 years now! Autumn had gained 20 pounds working a desk job and was tired of feeling weak and sick. With a sports background she has loved CrossFit. She says, “I wanted to try CrossFit because it had dynamic movements but still had an individual aspect to it so I could get my own pace as I learned.”  </p> <p>Since joining CrossFit Autumns confidence has dramatically increased. She beleives she can conquer hard things when they come her way. She has confidence in her own skin, loving herself and her human body for the amazing things it’s capable of doing. She believes that she’s stronger and more capable and she is more confident to try new things and meet new people which can allow her to be more vulnerable. </p> <p>Outside the gym, she’s noticed a difference in her health. She says,”I used to get sick 6-8 times a year. Mild colds and annoying things. Now I can go a whole year and not get sick. "Through CrossFit I’ve gotten stronger, but it’s forced me to prioritize sleep and nutrition as well.”</p> <p>She has also been able to get rid of her back pain. She was in a serious car accident a while back and has had severe back pain ever since. CrossFit has helped her strengthen her back and core muscles to avoid injuries.</p> <p>We asked Autumn what type of advice she would give someone who is looking into starting their fitness journey. This is what she said. “When I started I couldn’t run 200m. I had to walk and would shake after mild rowing. That told me how unhealthy I was. Your body was meant to move and be dynamic. </p> <p>USE IT, take care of it, love it and it will thank you. You can modify workouts to be appropriate to your level and still get results and still have fun. My whole outlook on life has changed in all areas and it all started with CrossFit. </p> <p>Autumn we love having you in our classes! Your smile and drive make our mornings so bright! Keep it up, you’re killing it!! </p> <p><strong>Committed Club Winner's For June &amp; Second Quarter 2023</strong></p> <p><em><strong>The June Committed Club winner is Barbara Behrman!</strong></em></p> <p><em><strong><img alt="female athlete" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="18021e6a-0cf8-4109-99a0-3fe371fee059" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/image1-1.jpeg" class="align-left" width="480" height="640" loading="lazy" /></strong></em></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><em>CONGRATULATIONS Barbara!!</em></p> <p>Barbara has won $50 worth of product credit to use in our retail area.</p> <p><em>Your $50 retail credit will be applied in Wodify!</em></p> <p><strong>Second Quarter Raffle Winner is Skyler Doggett</strong></p> <p>Skyler won 1/2 off his membership for winning the second quarter!</p> <p>CONGRATULATIONS Skyler!!</p> <p><img alt="skyler image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="466316b5-0c94-4081-879a-5f2c52d1746b" height="751" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/Skyler-1.jpeg" width="563" class="align-left" loading="lazy" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>We love seeing all of you work towards attending at least 15 classes  or doing at home workouts in a month!</p> <p><strong>Learn more about the Committed Club<br /> <a href="https://crossfitpreferred.com/march-2023-first-quarter-committed-club-who-made-the-cut/">https://crossfitpreferred.com/june-2023-second-quarter-committed-club-who-made-the-cut/</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Athletes Corner </strong></p> <p><strong>Congratulations to Pat and Kel Lee Harris for their new baby girl! </strong></p> <p><strong><img alt="kids" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="59c78c48-663b-4102-8a64-9efdeb9fd0fe" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/image2.jpeg" class="align-left" width="600" height="750" loading="lazy" /></strong></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="baby image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ec2f9557-1ca2-4a03-9eb2-f295b4b66517" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/image1.jpeg" class="align-left" width="600" height="750" loading="lazy" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Congratulations to Kayla and Nick Markovich for the arrival of their baby girl!</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><img alt="family image" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="49bf1b5e-09cd-43d4-96d7-448437fa67f7" src="/sites/preferred.app.sitewright.io/files/inline-images/image0-3.jpeg" class="align-left" width="480" height="640" loading="lazy" /></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>The Preferred Experience Podcast</p> <p>Did you know that CrossFit Preferred has a podcast!

He was nervous about starting because of all the cardio and weightlifting. He went through our On-Ramp program with Coach Kimberly which helped him feel ready to jump into his first class.</p> <p>To get to know Gustavo we asked him to share a unique fact. This is What he said, “Just this month I completed a year of residency in Arizona. My wife and daughters and I came from Venezuela seeking greater security and a better future for all of them.<br /> <br /> Approximately 20 years ago in Venezuela I had a motorcycle accident and had open fractures in both arms and a fissure in my pelvis. My recovery was very slow and I lost a lot of mobility and strength in my arms and legs. In addition to that 1 year ago I had Bariatric Surgery, (Gastric Bypass) that made me lose more than 100lbs after the operation.”</p> <p>Since joining CrossFit Gustavo has noticed a huge change in his physical and mental health. Due to the operation Gustavo lost weight and muscle mass very quickly. Doing CrossFit has managed to minimize the loss of muscle mass. Mentally CrossFit distracts you, improves your mood and relieves stress while taking class.</p> <p>He also says,”What I appreciate the most is that I created a new habit for me that I know will be a part of my whole life from now on.”<br /> <br /> Outside of the gym Gustavo says, “1 year ago I couldn’t even bend down to pick up some keys and if I managed to do it I would get tired very quickly. Now, little by little I feel that I am better at mobility, resistance training, and strength. All this makes me active day by day.”</p> <p>We asked Gustavo what type of advice would he give someone who is thinking about starting their fitness journey. “Always think of you. You have to have an active life and fight everyday to be a better version of yourself. CrossFit is not just about exercising, but about being part of a big family that has a common goal and that is: to have and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many thanks to Coach Amy, Coach Andrew and my brother in law for being so patient, explaining to me every day how to do the exercises, and always watching out for injuries in the learning process.”</p> <p>Gustavo, you are killing it in the gym with your consistency!

When you’re in the right position you want to be able to not hold the bar while performing a back squat.<br /> <br /> Getting the bar over head - He touched on proper hand placement on the bar. How we should be using our lats to bring the bar over head not our shoulders. Jimmy also gave us some great pointers on how to bring the bar back to your shoulders smoothly.<br /> <br /> How to load your hips properly at the beginning of a snatch. When you get down into the hole opening your knees a bit and putting that load into your hips before you start the movement. We want our hips to be loaded so we take the movement out of our back and use our hips and legs for power</p> <p>We had a good turn out and learned so much.
