“To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.”

Rosa Parks

Announcements:

  • Hi all, just a reminder to use the Push Press app to RSVP for classes and check to see if classes are happening.

  • We operate with a small-margin model so we can be affordable and accessible to as many people as we can, and all of our coaches work other jobs and have families or other obligations. Our coaches are told that if there are no RSVP’s 1 hour before a class, they should cancel it. That keeps our costs down, so we’re not paying a coach to supervise an empty class. RSVP’ing also really helps coaches plan classes better, as they have a rough idea of how many to expect, how they will use equipment, etc.

  • We recently switched to Push Press as it’s an easier, more intuitive app for athletes to use to RSVP and check schedules. If you’re having any difficulty accessing it or using it, please reach out.

  • Athletes, if you go to RSVP and the class is not there, it’s been cancelled. You are welcome to come anyway and do Open Gym!

  • If we have any RSVP’s, even one, a coach will show and lead.

  • I hope this clears up any confusion as we cancelled two classes this week, one for no RSVP’s and another because I was sick. We learned some people showed up anyway, and we hated to learn we didn’t have a coach for them.

  • This system is designed to try and best serve our staff and our members. I hope you understand and please send any feedback or suggestions. Thanks!

  • Open Gym members. Please check in when you’re at the space, either on your phone or on the iPad at the space. This helps us keep up with who is using the space and when.

  • Lastly, we love coffee and love providing local craft coffee in the mornings. We’re spending quite a bit of money now on it, which is fine. If you enjoy coffee and want to chip in, you can do so on the iPad and buy a cup of coffee (or two!) for $1. Thanks!

“Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.”
Nikola Tesla

Nutrition Resource: Supplements

Supplements can be tricky and many make all sorts of unsubstantiated claims. I’ve never been big on these, but I do supplement with small amounts of creatine most days, mixed in a protein shake, that I take post-workout. I’ll take a multivitamin and fish oil supplement when I remember to do so. That’s a combination that works for me, as my diet often doesn’t cover my nutritional bases, and the frequency and dosage of what I supplement are good for me. Follow the steps below to find out what works for you!

From CF Nutrition Guide:

Follow these five steps to determine the efficacy of any supplement when it comes to increasing performance and health.

1. Find out which high-quality foods work best for you.

2. Determine your optimal food amount and macronutrient ratios.

3. Maximize your results with quality and quantity.

4. Choose one supplement to experiment with and be sure to:

a. Start at a low dosage.

b. Test it for two weeks.

c. Incrementally increase the dosage until you find your optimal amount.

5. Determine whether the impact on your health and performance is worth the cost of the supplement. This can be done through the same means we use to benchmark overall diet. In adding this supplement, did your health markers improve? Performance? Subjective measures?
