Meeting Times to discuss diet:
June 17th @ 4:45pm
or
June 23rd @11:00am

There are 15 people doing it. A FEW PEOPLE WANT TO THROW $20 IN TO SEE WHO DROPS THE MOST WEIGHT.  IF YOU ARE IN FOR THAT LET ME KNOW. 

Let’s Knock the Wall Down

On the other side of the sheetrock wall there is another unit just like mine.  If we can get 20 more members to sign up then we can knock down the wall that divides the two units.  I need your help getting this done.  Spread the word!

June 1st, 2013 8:30 AM
24th Ave. Seaside Park, NJ

****AFTER PARTY…FREE FOOD…CHILL AT THE BEACH AS A CREW…AT EILEEN’S BEACH HOUSE AFTERWARDS****

 

 

REMINDER:
We aren’t finished with our workout until EVERYONE is finished with his or her workout.  We are building our bodies together!
What’s in a name?

Box vs Gym

Being a part of a CrossFit means that you now go to a “Box”.  CrossFit facilities are known as boxes.  If someone knows you do CrossFit they will ask what Box you belong to:  CrossFit Sayreville!

 

Class Requests

As summer approaches, I will be taking class request times. For example, you may request a 6:00-7:00am time slot or a 10:30-11:30am time slot.  Request the times that would work for you. I will put all the information together to come up with new class times.

The 5:15, 6:15, and 7:15 time slots are staying the same. I am thinking about eliminating the 3:45 class until summer is over. But again, if people request the 3:45 class stay a time slot then I will make it happen. Basically, tell me when you want class to be!!!

Request your classes here:  http://isabellafitness.com/class-request/

 

Signing up & Canceling Classes

I ask that NEW members sign up at least two hours before class.  I like to make sure I know who is coming so I can give them the best possible workout.  If you are still doing performance WODS then you are “new”.  If you are not sure what this means feel free to ask.  If you signed up in May you are more than likely part of the performance crew.

A canceling of a class should occur 3 hours before the class time.  This allows people who are on the wait list an opportunity to sign up for the class you just canceled.
