Congratulations to our lifters

Congratulations to all of our lifters this weekend.  We had 8 athletes competing at the first annual Reebok CrossFit Oly meet.  With 8 lifters competing, 306 walked away with seven medals.  The medals were distributed as follows:

Gold : Rob Lovelace including a PR in his Clean and Jerk at 121KG, and Dwayne Cronje
Silver : Laura Wehrkamp, Melanie Johnson, and  Paul Kot
Bronze : Beth Kotsur, Kourtney Weslowski  

Great effort by all, looking forward to exciting times ahead.
 

Nutritional Seminar

This Saturday, December 08th will be the first nutritional seminar that we will be holding this month.  We will also be holding a session on Sunday, December 16th.  The question that we get asked most often is. "what should I eat to get leaner?" or a version of that.  In an effort to help answer that question, we teamed up with Whole9Life, a Paleo Lifestyle company based in the USA.  We have put together a 90 page manual on Paleo eating...the what to eat, why to eat it guide to getting your nutrition in line for optimal health.  Sam Mitchell will be presenting on our behalf.  She has her masters in nutritional science, is an athlete and has some great tips and advice on how to improve our diet.  She has put together a presentation to go through the manual and taken it a step further to give you the science based answers to your questions.  Cost is $50/person and you get to take the guide book with you.  You will also have time to ask Sam any specific questions at that time.  Sign up sheets are at the front desk, so please let us know if you will be attending.  If you want to bring anyone outside of the gym, you are more than welcome, just sign them up at the front.  

1st Annual Reebok CrossFit 306 Christmas Gala

As Halloween ends, I guess it is time to move on to the next holiday....Christmas;).  December 01st marks our 1 year anniversary at 306...what a year it has been.  We usually celebrate holidays with some epic WODs, but we decided we wanted to add something special this year.  We will be having a 'gala' night at the Saskatoon Club.  Award winning chef, Anthony McCarthy is putting together an amazing menu for us and it gives us a great opportunity to come together in something other than our spandex;).  More details will be coming, but pencil us in for the 22nd...I know holiday calendars fill up quickly.  Looking forward to celebrating with you!

More hardware!

A great day of Olympic lifting was had by our athletes from 306.   Once the dust settled we walked away with 4 gold medals, 2 silvers, and 1 bronze.  Here is the breakdown:

Viki, took home the silver while fighting the flu, get well soon Viki, way to fight through!
Chandra finished with a bronze medal and a massive grin.
Jesse Buydens took home a silver. 

Jeff Woo won his weight class.
Leo and Dwayne continued to show great improvements and both took home gold medals.

Coach also won his weight and qualified for nationals in the process. 

Great work everyone.
 Now lets get ready for Grande Prarie! 

Halloween Spooktacular recap

The day started with the incredible Hulk patiently waiting for his fellow CrossFitters.   A man right out of the eighties would walk in first followed by Joe Dirt and Thing 1.  Within an hour the gym was packed with cavemen and cavewoman, 80's fitness fanatics, Pipi Longstocking, a girls pajama party, but the question remained, where's Waldo?  After 4 Wods including FRANkeistein, Count Dracula, BATTATA, and the Epic finish, the A team would sit alone a top the podium.  Thanks everyone for another memorable day at 306!

Halloween Spooktacular!

Tomorrow Saturday the 27th is our Spooktacular event.  No regular classes are schedule.  We open at 10:30, WOD in costume at 11:00, come and enjoy the festivities!

Schedule Improvements

Hey everyone,

As of Monday Oct 29 we will now be offering a 3PM CrossFit WOD Monday through Friday.  We will also be moving our popular Olympic lifting training back to its regular time of 7-8:30 M,W,F.  This effectively means that we will be eliminating the 7PM on Mondays and Wednesdays only.  The 7PMs on Tuesdays and Thursdays will continue.  
In health,
Jason
