Ipad Kiosks For Sign In

More coaching is better

We have three new iPad sign-in kiosks!

We are changing our sign in process for the gym to give everyone a better experience. Right now all of our coaches are required to take roll. This means individually typing in all of your names into a search box on our phone, selecting the correct person as results are filtered, and then confirming attendance once everyone has been added. If there are any roll issues like mistakenly adding the wrong jeff, john, james, or so-and-so’s membership just ended, the coach must spend additional time on the phone making updates.

As you can see, this starts to take away the attention of the coach from offering you an engaging warm up and overall coaching experience.

We are now switching to a kiosk sign-in process at the gym. Before hopping into class, mosey on over to one of our iPads and sign in for the class. You can accomplish this using a couple methods.

  1. Type in your email address or the phone number tied to your Front Desk account
    1. Once signed in, you can choose to have a QR code sent to your phone
  2. Scan your custom QR code which will pop up in passbook if you have an iPhone 
    1. On your phone, go to our deep.frontdeskhq.com, and sign in to your account.
    2. Tap your profile photo in the upper right corner.
    3. Tap Scan In.
    4. Scroll down and tap Add to Passbook.
    5. To store the sign-in code, in the upper right corner of the Store Card screen, tap Add.

You can also RSVP for class the night before if you don't want to sign in at the gym or are worried you may be a bit late.

Once you have signed in, join the class!

Coaches will be helping you go through this process over the next week until everyone has it down. To make sure this becomes standard practice, you will not be able to join the class unless you have signed in. 

We are excited to spend a lot less time on our phones and a lot more time working with our members!

Monday August 24th from 4-8pm

Hydrostatic Testing (Underwater Weighing) has become universally regarded by industry experts as the “Gold Standard” in body fat testing.

This is a great way to see how far you've come, or set a baseline as you continue to make body composition changes through CrossFit and nutritional changes.

Testing results include three pages with accurate assessments of:

•     Lean Body Mass (Muscle, Bones, Organs, Tissue)
•     Body Fat Percentage
•     Resting Metabolic Rate (Calories used at rest daily)

End of Squat Cycle Recap

Eleven weeks ago we did something completely new and implemented a full squat cycle in our Training classes. There was a lot of volume, it took up a lot of class time, and it got repetitive...

But! Holy crap did it work. The amount of personal records set was amazing. For instance, the noon class on Monday had 25 people and 19 set records. The average increase? 25 pounds! We ran the numbers for all classes and saw an average increase of 23.5# for Back Squat and 15# for Front Squat. We even had some 45# and 50# PRs which was crazy. 

For those of you that didn't hit a new record, do not despair. There is so much that goes into a maximum effort lift. It is also important to factor in training age. How long have you been lifting and coming to CrossFit? For those of you that have been training hard and maxing for many years, sleep, training time, diet, and especially mental state can all play a roll in how your max attempts go.

Our programming focus is shifting for the next few months so expect to see some more variety during the week. We will also be shifting what types of workouts fall on any given day. The only day that will remain structured is our Flat Line Friday. Expect to see more benchmarks and testing on these days.

We look forward to seeing how you all perform in workouts with your new found leg strength!

Post Open Programming

We are so proud of everyone for making it through the 2015 Open Season! For many of you it was your first experience with The Open and we hope you enjoyed it. We know how difficult and humbling the Open can be. Remember not to derive your self worth based on your performance in a workout. Instead, derive your self worth based on how you fight, and how willing you are to put yourself in through tough situations and learn from them. We promise you will look back next year and realize that you've come so far!

Now that the Open is over, we are switching gears with our programming. Here is what you can look forward to.

    • Mondays and Thursday (make-ups can be done on other days)
    • We highly encourage you to begin logging your squat days and other important benchmarks using our comments on the website!
    • We will be tagging each workout so going back and finding your workout results will be easy
  2. #MetabolicMondays
    • Get ready to start your week off right
  3. #WeightliftingWednesdays
    • Get comfortable moving weight around in a wide variety of workout scenarios

Conquer Your Fears

The Open is only two weeks away and I wanted to discuss the importance of doing things that may be scary to you.

In life, some of the toughest situations and most challenging scenarios we experience end up holding the most value. We tend to learn from these hardships, empowering us and allowing us to forge ahead with renewed strength. CrossFit is no different. Something as simple as a tough workout can make the remainder of our day feel easier.
