Our second checkout for equipment loans is complete and we had a large amount of dumbbells, kettlebells, boxes and PVC’s go out the door. Thanks for showing up and hope this helps serve you well for the duration of this stay-at-home order.  Can’t wait to see everyone back in the gym!

Crossfit announced the “Support Your Local Box” fundraiser

Registration opens tomorrow for the above event and we are programming this each Friday! Please sign up and register, regardless of any donation. It’s free and I think with everything going on it’s important to show as realistic a number of those participation around the world as possible.

I had originally programmed the 2012.1 Open WOD of 7 minutes of burpees to a 1 ft. target overhead this week but have pushed it out since I can see this being one of the events.

From crossfit.com:

The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser is an event for the benefit of CrossFit affiliates affected by COVID-19 around the globe. You, the network of CrossFit affiliates, have proven your leadership over the past few weeks with your commitment to serving your members despite these challenging circumstances. Now, the entire CrossFit community has an opportunity to come together in support of you.

The Support Your Local Box Fundraiser format is as follows:

Event Format
Over a three-week period, CrossFit will release three classic workouts, each with a scaled option that can be performed with minimal or no equipment by athletes of any ability level. All athletes who participate will have their names displayed on the Open leaderboard during the competition and will be able to create smaller leaderboards among friends, family, and other members of their affiliate by using leaderboard hashtags.

Registration will take place on games.crossfit.com/open beginning on or before Wednesday, March 31, and will remain open for the duration of the competition. The first workout will be released on Friday, April 3.

How to Get Involved
Anyone can participate in the Support Your Local Box Fundraiser. Payment is not required. We understand that many face financial difficulties at this time, and we want everyone in your communities to have the opportunity to participate without barriers.

When participants register, they will have the option to select a contribution amount ranging from $20 to $1,000, or participate at no cost. Participants can select which affiliate they want to receive their contribution. When the competition closes, 100% of the proceeds collected will be distributed to affiliates in accordance with their roster of supporters. CrossFit, Inc. will distribute all registration funds to the designated affiliates.

With the latest Stay-at-home announcement from the Gov. it appears we will remain closed another week.  Tentatively hoping for being able to reopen on 4/8.  We are assessing what this announcement means for our gym and trying to understand the impacts. We will be communicating our plans for April and beyond as we learn more.

We also wanted to fill you in on how we are trying to continue to offer services and value to our members:

  • We are programming a daily workout everyday that can be done at home. We are publishing it on several different places (this website under “workout of the day”, our Instagram account, and also on beyondthewhiteboard.com).  Most of these are bodyweight workouts and have modifications in the notes.
  • We have been including WOD movement demo videos from YouTube sources in the beyondthewhiteboard.com app for anything unfamiliar and to show good technique and form.
  • We have loaned out equipment for our members in the form of either one dumbbell or one kettlebell, one abMat, and a jump rope for anyone in need. If you have been unable to receive this and want to check out equipment please let us know and we can coordinate a time with you.
  • Our gym community has come together through our Facebook group sharing videos of their at-home workouts, and we encourage everyone to continue this!
  • Links to these resources can be found on the bottom of our website.

Please hang in there with us and continue to check back here for updates, daily at home workouts you can do and other CrossFit related info.   We truly appreciate your support!
