HEY MONKEYS!
This announcement is to let you know about events and some upcoming changes you might see around here. We are carefully considering making some cool changes to make sure you guys are getting the attention you need while you walk around like lemmings or monkeys doing something strange to footballs.
Ok! Got your attention? The above would be the way a "particular" coach might say it. Since my name is on this however, I will rewrite and translate in a "positive" manner.
I want you guys to embrace these changes. Understand they are opportunities to get more attention and shrink classes so that a coach can work on specifics. We want you the fittest "you" can be.
We all need specialized attention, with classes getting larger and the workouts being generalized GPP (General Physical Preparedness), how does one figure out how they should optimize the routine?
Adaptations class is specifically designed to answer these questions and better help you understand how you should be reading the white board. If you are still on the fence, make sure you sign up and attend this seminar on the 10th. This 2 hour seminar is going to make sure that you understand where your particular weakness is and the specific area you might already know you need to work on. NOW WHAT?
I have noticed many of you, 99.9% of this gym… need to be a little more specific in order to break through some plateaus. That said, adaptations will identify and teach you how to better understand your journal, goals, our whiteboard, competitions and how you fit in to all this craziness. So put your name down on the "ADAPTATIONS" list and let's see if we can't give you a better understanding of how to maximize your time here at CFES.
I will be announcing another program designed to assist many of you wishing to get more specific help along the lines of personal coaching. This class will be lead by Travis and will be very specific and targeted. Stay tuned.

I think Garth Algar said it best:
“We fear change…”

Scott
I really think lemmings are getting a bad rap.

Somebody named “Kari” Rxed the foundation WOD yesterday. 9am class. Nice work!

Chris: For the Adaptations class, how many times a week is it and for how many weeks? Or is it just a rolling class which you can just drop in on at anytime?
If I can’t make the Tues night class, is it still worth it for me to sign up?
CHRIS LENE
Well MATT. You shouuld know… MONKEYS came from your fearless leader… and it does grab some attention… In short however, You are correct. All of you monkeys should take adaptations at CFES. AND I HAVE IT LOUDER AND CLEARER THAT ALL CAPS ANNOYS YOU! ANYONE READING THIS… USE ALL CAPS ON THE COMMENT SECTION ALL DAMN DAY LONG. I KNOW IT BUGS A FEW OTHERS. DAVE?

I couldn’t get past the monkey thing. I stopped there because I knew it wasn’t directed at me, I am a lemming.
It reminds me of an old Bill Cosby routine. Bill Cosby’s father used to curse so much that Bill thought his name was Jesus Christ and his brother’s name was God Damn It. One day Bill was playing in the rain and his father said “God Damn It, get in here!” Bill Cosby replied, “But Dad, I’m Jesus Christ.”

Ladies, Gents: take a look at the attached link if you are interested in purchasing an adult BigWheel. The company is offering free shipping and a possible group discount depending on the number that we purchase. I know a few people including myself are seriously going to get one. I have been researching Adult BigWheels for years and know that $260 is a great deal for the quality. The wheel bearings on this bad boy are rated for 45mph! Just think of the fun WODs and group rides we could do. Hello American River bike path CF biker gang.
A sign-up list and further directions will follow.

I think B was going to check one out at a local place but not sure if he got a chance. Big wheel sled drag? Cuz a normal sled drag or even one in sand isn’t hard enough right?
Brooke
Hahahaha Dave you’ve been doing research on adult big wheels for years???? Hahahahaha miss you!

Just wondering if any of u guys were still attempting to do all the girls this year (see Justin’s January 2nd bday post). I remember a few of you guys jumping on them early on but wasn’t sure if anyone was still doing them. Only 31 days in the year boys…get em done!
brother mike

Angie, Barbara, Cindy, Annie, and Eva
