CrossFit Niagara: Goodbye Beverly!

20100414

Goodbye Beverly!

Today was an exciting, yet very sad day at CrossFit Niagara.
We had 30+ people this afternoon, doing Fight Gone Bad as part of fitness testing for the St. Catharines Athletics Junior A Lacrosse Team. Some of the afternoon group regulars witnessed FGB for the first time - and some of them got fantastic personal records on the power clean and push press.
But all this unfortunately culminated with the saddening departed of Beverly...

Bev came to us in 2009 with an amazing attitude to learn and constantly improve herself. She brought a positive, yet highly sarcastic and dirty dirty dirty energy to the gym. She was training for the weightlifting team, but was relocated to another province by her office.
Beverly will be greatly missed and we hope you find a new home soon.
Please write and let us know how you do Bev.
...one last time; "That's what she said..."

Take care and thanks for being part of our lives Briggsy!

Thanks Mark!
You have no idea how much you and the group meant to me. I loved going to work out everytime I got there. I didn't always heart the workouts but the people there make it doable. The atmosphere at the gym is one of support and encouragement - it's fantastic! I'm so glad I found you guys and look forward to coming back when I get the chance =)

I'll miss all of you!!!

Ok - gotta go - got a lot of boxes to fill.

- that's what he said =P

World class fitness in 100 words:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.
