Housekeeping announcement regarding kids and pets:

We want to remind parents that the Squatch Cave is where we need your kids to stay. Please ensure your little one(s) are not in the front lobby or at the desk.  The lobby area is meant for members to roll out, hang out, and generally needs to be a kid free zone. Please help the kids understand our rules and that staying put in the Cave is needed for their safety.

We have a received a few comments regarding the gym turning into a “kennel”. Going forward the dog policy is that member’s dogs will need to stay outside of the gym and can’t be out in the gym floor or tied up in the lobby (Obviously the only exception is Zoe).  They can be leashed out back if needed.  Dog hair, barking, accidents, allergy concerns, and several playing dogs unfortunately is very disruptive so we need to make this change.

Please know this isn’t due to any single child, pet or incident whatsoever.  We just felt this is a necessary decision to proactively address before there is some sort of problem or complaint. Please do not read anything more into this! There is and was no “drama”! Thanks for your understanding, we love pets but recognize that not everyone else does.  We want a business that is fun, friendly and family focused; but also clean, orderly, predictable, and appealing to all of our members beyond just a workout. We need everyone’s help to make that happen.

Frankenchipper 2015
7th Annual Frankenchipper photo by @robcwilson

Saturday was our SRCF annual tradition costume-required “Frankenchipper”! This time we unveiled a new version of our Frankenchipper. This workout is a combination of benchmark “Girls” WOD’s. Like Frankenstein the new version is a mash-up of “Fran”, “Angie”, “Kelly” and “Eva”. One of our favorite gym traditions is to see everyone in costume trying to work through a workout that is tougher than it looks. Thanks for making it the event that it is!

Save your costumes from this year and next year we can have a “costume swap” for those who are interested.

So our government ran a study for 9 days with 43 kids between 9 and 18 years old who were all overweight, high risk of Type 2 Diabetes and other disorders, and averaged a quarter of the daily food intake from added sugars.  In the study they simply replaced the calories of crappy added sugars with crappy carbohydrates (think bagels, baked chips, etc.) that had no added sugar, and also some small amount of fruit and vegetables. This cut their daily average of added sugars from 27% to 10%.  After only 9 days all of the kids showed marked improvements in cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides, fasting blood sugar and insulin levels!  Of course the scientists were shocked. Just imagine the results if they ate healthy carbohydrates, proteins and fats in the right proportion and did it for 30 days or longer.

After the FDA made a recommendation to lower the amount of allowable added sugar to the “dietary guidelines” the Sugar Association and the Grocery Manufacturers Association are both fighting the study and criticizing it. This is what is wrong with our food chain.

SnoRidge CF_2 for 1 WB_BarbaraThis past Saturday we had our 7th Annual (SRCF) Halloween Party and we had 53 costumed crazies! Each year as Halloween approaches I admit there is a part of me that does not want to dig out the decorations and help to set it all up; and the (self-induced) pressure for a new costume gets a little much. Then Michelle talks me back off the ledge, sends the evite and commits us, and starts decorating the house with the same energy as Christmas (which is awesomely creepy).

By the time the party weekend rolls around though I can’t wait to see all the different costumes, get into character and just relax with a drink, good food and good times. This year I think was our biggest and best turnout. We hope everyone had a great time as we had so much fun we are already planning to host our 8th party next year on October 29th (Saturday).  If you didn’t get to make it this year we hope to see you next year. Get a sitter and start costume planning in 3, 2, 1….Go!
