We are constantly trying to improve what we do here and we cannot do that without input from YOU!  In an effort to create the best gym for you and your fellow athletes, we would love to get some critical and candid feedback.  We have developed a survey that asks a broad range of questions from class schedules to gym culture.  This survey should only take 5-10 minutes (maybe 12 if you have a lot to add in the open-ended questions).  Within this survey, you will also see individual questions for each coach as we know the quality of coaching is probably THE number one reason people join a gym.   Your honest feedback is critical, so this survey is ENTIRELY anonymous.  If we are going to grow and keep the interests of our members at the forefront, want to know it ALL!  Thank you in advance for your time AND constructive feedback!

CROSSFIT COVE SURVEY

We also have surveys for each individual coach. We have a huge staff (which we hope you love as we do) and their surveys should only take a couple of minutes. If you have time to give us some feedback, we

truly appreciate it.

We are excited to announce that we have started a new online store for CrossFit Cove gear through Sideline Style Company’s Etsy store. We have always struggled to find a vendor that can supply quality shirts and innovative designs and we think that is a fantastic solution. We can now provide so many more options as far as colors, cuts, and designs. S

hirts will also be delivered to your home, so if you are part of our Cove family that no longer lives in the area, you can still grab some great Cove swag.

Come check out our newest designs at the Cove virtual store here.

Today will be our fourth annual Juneteenth workout. Similar to a hero workout, it is a workout based on reflection as much as the demands of the workout.

Juneteenth is an American holiday celebrated on June 19th commemorating when federal orders were read stating that all slaves were free.

To give a bit more detail, during the American Civil War, Pres. Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared more than three million slaves living in the Confederate states to be free. More than two years would pass, however, before the news reached African Americans living in Texas. It was not until Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19, 1865, that the state’s residents finally learned that slavery had been abolished. The former slaves immediately began to celebrate with prayer, feasting, song, and dance.

Juneteenth also called “Freedom Day”, is widely accepted in the United States as the day slavery ended. This is not a day just for African Americans to celebrate but a day for all Americans to remember and revere. It’s a testament to America’s ability to recognize wrongs and do its best to change course and make things right.

An article published in the Galveston Daily News summarized so beautifully why we must continue to do the work. “Injustices continue to stain our nation’s honor to prevent us from living up to our stated belief that all are created equal. The abuses of slavery and its successor practices have often been experienced by many generations. And it’s never improper to continue seeking justice for all.”

If you’ve done this workout before, you know this Juneteenth WOD has the volume and difficulty of a Hero WOD. And just like Hero WODs, it is designed to help you step outside of yourself to find a place of reflection, understanding, and remembrance. We can all make a difference.
