LOTS OF EVENTS HAPPENING… READ ON!
FRIDAY NIGHT SHOPPING SPREE!
RoadRunner Sports has invited all Cove athletes (and their friends) to come in and enjoy some food and drink… and 20% off everything in the store! (except electronics). They have all the things we crazy CrossFitters need; Nike Metcons, Reebok Nanos and Innov8 shoes… plus some kick as apparel. If you’ve been on the fence about buying new gear or have been wanting to try on some CrossFit specific shoes, come on in. NO PRESSURE to buy anything at ALL! Just come browse and hang out with your fellow Cove peeps! So come in between 6 to 8 on Friday night after you crush the partner WOD! And because we know some of you like to hang at the Cove Friday nights and have a beer, hit the shopping early and come back and show us all what you got! We have late classes on Friday night for the Fresh Start ladies so we will be there until 9p. Just sayin’!
BOD POD COMING BACK 10/17
The BodPod is a device that takes super accurate measurements of body composition (body fat vs. lean muscle) to get an idea of where you stand and the amount of calories your body should take in. It is used by both the NFL and NHL in there combine testing. The vendor will be back here on 10/17 from 4 PM to 7 PM. So if you are looking to check your progress from last time or determine a first time baseline, please sign up HERE. If there is enough demand we can pursue opening up more times that evening, but we’ll need to hear from you if can’t find a spot. Here is a link to a PDF on information about the BodPod – https://www.cove-fitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/BeFit-Test-Bod-Pod-brochure.pdf Non-Cove members are welcome to take the test as well. If you have any questions just email Brian@CrossFitCove.com.IN HOUSE COMPETITION 10/15
We are holding our second annual in-house competition THE CLASH AT THE COVE on October 15th from 10a – 2pm! For those of you who have never done a competition before (or don’t know what an in-house competition is), it is a FRIENDLY and FUN competition and open only to members of the Cove. It consists of three workouts during the day with a final fourth workout for the top five finishers in each division.
The competition is for EVERYBODY in the gym, literally EVERYBODY!!!!If you aren’t convinced that you can do this event AND have a great time you can still participate as a spectator or volunteer. We will take all the help we can get, and we will be in need of judges! Non-members and family are welcome to come and cheer everyone on too! We plan to make a day out of it and include grilling and potluck get together after the workouts are complete.
