CHALKDUST NEWS: Goodbye Summer. Hello Fall.
Our favorite season is upon us at ChalkDust CrossFit. The leaves are changing, Starbucks is handing out pumpkin spice lattes, the air is getting crisper and 5:15 a.m. Chalkdusters are enjoying working out in the dark again. For as fast as it arrives, fall always seems to be over in the blink of an eye. While we enjoy the season, there are a lot of new and exciting things going on at ChalkDust CrossFit.
Important Schedule Change
Beginning October 1, yoga class will move to Monday and Thursday nights at 6:45 p.m. It will become a $20 per month add-on fee for members, or you are welcome to attend periodically for a drop-in fee of $10 per class. There are plans to add more yoga classes after the expansion is complete. We all know how important it is to fit in intense workouts; but it is equally important to spend time recovering from all of your hard work. Yoga provides a great restorative way to improve flexibility and to balance out Crossfit exercise. Plus, yoga is a nice mental break from the stresses of everyday life. Give yoga a try and see how much better you feel afterwards.
Upcoming Competitions
We are already off to a great fall competition season. Congrats to Mike Albertson for killing it at Fall Jam. In October, we have two teams competiting at Smash Fest in Dayton. Rudy, Tyson, Katie K. and Kaitlyn will tackle the RX division and Jason B., Robert, Jess and Lynette will dominate the scaled division. Our very own Coach Mike will be also be competing at the Strongest Unicorn event in nearby Hilliard. Come out and show you support! Also if you are interested in participating in a competition, see Coach Mike to learn more. There is a competition out there that's right for members of all skill levels!
Nutrition
As a reminder, bodies are built in the kitchen as well as the gym. Reach back and remember the nutrition seminar. Pay close attention to your macro nutrient ratios. Eating the right proportions of proteins, good fats and carbohydrates will lead to amazing results in the gym. To receive feedback on your nutrition habits, download the free app, MyFitness Pal, and send a friend request to ChalkDust CrossFit. Those members who are already using the app to track their nutrition are seeing amazing results. Keep up the good work!
New Product
You may have noticed some new products in the lobby over the past couple of weeks. We now carry THE BAR by Progenex. If you got to sample this item at a recent community WOD, you know the bars are amazing. THE BAR can be used as a body optimizing meal replacement. Each BAR contains 14g of Protein, 18g Net Carbs, and 12g Fat. That translates to an easily accessible two blocks of protein, two blocks of carbohydrates, and eight blocks fat. The block system was designed to balance the intake of carbohydrates, protein and fat. It can be used as a valuable tool for elite athletes as well as everyday people seeking weight loss. We also have FORCE by Progenex. This product is great to take with you to a competition. You'll be sure to PR with FORCE. If you would like to try a variety of Progenex products, we now offer our bundle pack which includes water, THE BAR, FORCE and an individual pack of Recovery or More Muscle.
One Year Anniversary Celebration
It is hard to believe that almost a year of being awesome has passed! We invite everyone to come out and celebrate with us. Join us for a costume WOD and party on Saturday, October 31, and bring the whole family.
More details to follow in the coming weeks.
Quick Note
Mike and Katelyn would like to just thank everyone once again for their loving and caring support of them while they lost one of the members of their family, Olive. She quickly became a mascot to ChalkDust and absolutely loved being around every single one of you..because after all she knew she was a people and not a dog :) She is greatly missed but having awesome people like you guys made it just a little easier to say goodbye.
