CANCELLATION: September 12th 19.00 WOD

Today we have less than three members registered for the evening WOD. We have waited until the last minute to cancel the class due to our three hour policy for which members can sign up via Zen Planner.  We announced the launch of the evening classes and shared that classes with three or less will not be held. Our apologies to the member that registered.

More information about the structure of the late classes can be found here.

Today, the box will close at 19.00. If you have signed up for Open Gym, please understand that the 18.00 WOD has equipment priority.

Thanks for your understanding.

CFA Team

UPCOMING CHANGES AT CFA – August 2013

Members,

We would like to bring to your attention some upcoming changes at the box:

1. Test run of additional WOD classes
2. Open Gym Times

Additional WOD Classes

We would like to run a test for the next few weeks to offer two additional evening classes which Coach Nick will run. The classes will be available on Zen Planner for you to register. Please understand that if there are three or less participants, the class will not take place.

• Tuesdays – 19.30 (August 20th & 27th)
• Thursdays – 19.00 (August 22nd & 29th)

Open Gym Times

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we will need to modify how Open Gym runs and the times.

1. Members must register for Open Gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays via Zen Planner
2. Open Gym Tuesdays: 16.00 – 17.00 and 19.00 – 21.00
3. Open Gym Thursdays: 18.00 – 20.30

If you are participating in Open Gym when a WOD is taking place please remember the following:

1. Noise levels: keep noise to a minimum so the class can be conducted with minimal interruption
2. Equipment: if the equipment is required for a WOD, the coach will need to ask you for it
3. Open Gym Workout Area: Please workout in the weight room or the back room where the additional racks are located. If you need to use the pull up cage, please talk to the coach running the WOD and make sure your workout and the WOD can work well together

There are quite a few Gold Members who do have their own workout schedules / programs in addition to participating in the regular WODs and it might seem overwhelming what they are working on or the intensity at which they are training. If you’re curious…ask your fellow member what he/ she is working on. One of the amazing things about CrossFit or Weight Lifting is talking about what you do. Learn from each other and see how you could benefit from adding one or two Open Gym evenings into your workouts!

If these additional classes are successful, CFA will be looking to add them on a regular basis.

Please feel free to let us know what you think!

Thanks
CFA Management

CrossFit Football Total:

 

In three attempts establish a new 1 Rep Max in the following lifts:

 

Power Clean

Squat

Bench Press

Deadlift

You can take as many warm up sets as necessary, but you must “Call Your Weight” to begin.  In other words you should not do a lift and then go oh that was light so it was a warm up.

Lifts should be done in sequence. If class size is too large to get through all four then coach can break the class up between the lifts.

Score is the total of the 1RM established in each lift.

RCFFC 2012 – Nadine Leinweber & Nadine Moore in the top 5!

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

September 15, 2012

What an amazing day! The energy was high at Reebok CrossFit Nürnberg. The judges were happy to meet and greet again when we arrived 1.5 hours before the athletes were scheduled to arrive. Our very own Mike Strauch and Don Mc Cutchen agreed to judge as well. As the athletes arrived, we were saying our hellos and getting ready to start the event. We had time to chat with each other and talk about things like CrossFit, CrossFit and um more CrossFit.

As the WODs were announced, the athletes were pumped and ready to go. Starting with Cindy and ending with grueling couplets these athletes were hungry for success. There were smiles through achieving new PRs and pride in finishing the WODs. All competing athletes succeeded in the very first RCFFC. I hope to see many of them again next year!

Nadine Leinweber’s mom and best friends joined her while Nadine Moore’s friend brought her kids  and brother to watch the competition. Monte Fletcher and his youngest, Sandra, Adrian, Tina & Daniel joined in the crowd and cheered for our gals as they fought through each WOD with professionalism and strength.

It was an amazing day and we are proud to say that Nadine Moore was in 5th place and Nadine Leinweber claimed 1st place. Congratulations ladies! You were and continue to be amazing! What an inspiration for our box!
