On Ramp #22 – SOLD OUT!

On Ramp Session #22 starts Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010: Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 6:00AM to 7:00AM for 4 weeks.

Our On Ramp class is a precursor to our on going CrossFit Classes. This one-month, 12-class program is an “on-ramp” to the “highway” that is CrossFit. We will train proper exercise mechanics and techniques at relatively light loads. You will become consistent with those mechanics under the watchful eye of our coaches. Finally, you will learn how to bring up the intensity to increase your work capacity. We will be showing you movements in the beginning that are relatively non-technical, then progressively become more technical. All new members must complete the On Ramp program or a series of personal training sessions before joining our ongoing CrossFit Classes.

The cost is $150 for all 12 classes. Download the registration form and return with payment to CrossFit Winnipeg via email, fax, or in person.

Whole 30 Real Food Challenge

Whole 30 Real Food Challenge

It seems we have a lot of interest in doing a nutrition challenge.  So here’s the plan.

• You can follow the whole30 plan, which is essentially 30 days of strict paleo, the same plan we recommend in our On Ramp and our Real Food Challenge.  We’ll call it the Whole 30 Real Food Challenge so we can put our stamp on it.
  
• You can start anytime between now and February 1st, 2011. You eat strict paleo for 30 days and track changes in how you look, feel and perform.
  
• You can do it on your own or as part of our challenge.  If you want to be illegible to win some cash and some CFW gear, you can pitch in $35 and you’ll get free before and after body fat skinfold caliper measurements,  waist and hip circumference measurements and photos.  We usually charge at least $35 for a 30 minute appointment to measure body fat, but in this case we’ll give you the follow up measurements for free and we’ll also donate half of the pot for the winner’s prize.
  
• Winner(s) get(s) half the pot and some CFW gear and services.  To be eligible to win, contact us to schedule your initial measurements and announce your start date.  Then use our Facebook page to communicate your progress, share recipes and get support from other members. At the end of the 30 days, we’ll want to hear about changes in how you look, feel and perform.
• Not sure where to start?  Have a look at our Nutrition Page for a bunch of resources and download the CFW Real Food Challenge Recipe book for ideas.
  
• Good Luck!

Manitoba Open Weightlifting Competition

The Manitoba Weightlifting Association is holding its annual open competition.  As its name implies, it is open to anyone who wants to compete.  There are weight classes and of course, true Olympic Weightlifting rules.  To enter, you’ll need a MWA membership, a singlet and enough courage to get up on the platform and lift in front of a crowd.  More info on the Manitoba Weightlifting Association website.  Let us know if you’re interested in competing and maybe we can get a group together to represent CFW.

UPDATE:

Currently, our athletes are more than welcome to compete at the MB Open but each athlete must become member of the MWA first, which costs $60, in addition to the competition entry fee of $25.  One of the MWA executives had an idea that might work if we are interested, and would have to be discussed with the rest of the MWA executive first, and we would all have to agree with it.  If we had enough interest, they might organize a “test” competition for us on a Saturday from 12 to 3 PM at the University of Manitoba.  It would not be official but we could  follow Weightlifting rules, have it done on a regulation platform, with a regulation weight set, and we would be competing against eachother.  If interested please post to comments.
