CrossFit Cypher

Introducing CF Cypher Barbell Club!

By Mauricio On April 2, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Due to popular demand we will be starting our very own Barbell Club at CrossFit Cypher! Every Saturday starting April 7th @ 11AM, this class is a special opportunity for those who would like to focus on their skill and strength development in the Olympic Weightlifting movements (Snatch and Clean & Jerk). These skills transfer over very nicely to CrossFit where we already perform these movements in many contexts, and you definitely do not have to be a Weightlifter or have any previous experience to participate.

We will work toward honing each individual’s technique in the Snatch and Clean & Jerk, and usually couple each session with assistance movements for skill development, and squats to build strength. Classes will typically run 60-90 minutes. There will be no CrossFit metcons or “WODs” during these sessions! It will be 100% Weightlifting, but the abilities you develop here will make you a better CrossFitter and overall athlete.

Prices are as follows:

$10/class for CF Cypher members

$15/class for non-CF Cypher members

$75/10 classes prepay for CF Cypher members

$120/10 classes prepay for non-CF Cypher members

If you are interested in attending a Barbell Club session (no pre-existing membership needed), please shoot us an e-mail at info@crossfitcypher.com to let us know you are coming, and either pay online or bring cash to the session.

A special thanks goes out to Gina who initiated this idea for CF Cypher! See you all soon!

Grand Opening!

By Mauricio On February 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment

It’s time! Our gym is looking lovely and ready to be burpeed upon vigorously by all you burpee enthusiasts . We’re going to have our Grand Opening Free Community Class and BBQ next Saturday, February 25th at 10AM (driving directions). Please RSVP so we can get a head count. If you’d just like to stop by for some food and good company you can come at 11AM, but we strongly encourage everyone to get their WOD on — it’s sort of what we’re about!

We will provide delicious BBQ items and some sides, but if anyone is interested in contributing a dish let us know (Paleo and Un-Paleo are welcome). We may create a spreadsheet if there’s more than a couple contributors.

Bring your family and friends to make it a raucous good time! If anyone is looking to sign-up we will discuss membership options at the end of class. Thanks and looking forward to seeing all of you!

Don’t Hold Back

For a limited time, your first month of Unlimited CrossFit Cypher classes: $99

Head on over to our Membership page to sign-up.

Look, we know you may be on the fence about starting your CrossFit adventure. It seems expensive at first, especially if you’ve been going to a conventional gym. Cool story: a few years back I got in on an old 24-Hour Fitness deal: something like $800 for 3 years up front — which I went to 3x/week on average for the first year, then not at all — then $50/year indefinitely. $50 per year. And I didn’t go there! At all! But it sure feels awesome to get a deal right? But you know what else feels awesome?: actually being successful.

I want you in the door, no excuses. If the value of what we offer isn’t obvious after a month, you have our best wishes on your success elsewhere, and you probably won’t regret the modest investment that got you there.

Don’t hold back.

CrossFit Cypher’s Week of Free Classes!

By Mauricio On January 22, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Whether you’ve been missin’ your favorite coach or are completely new to CrossFit, now is the perfect time to jump-start your training with CrossFit Cypher. To get things rolling and simplify joining our program towards the end of this month, we are having completely FREE Group Classes at CrossFit Cypher this coming Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6AM and 7PM as well as Saturday at 9AM. That’s right, you may just show up and get your CrossFit on in our spanking new gym (directions to gym) at any of these times, this week only!

We will only require that all attendees fill out a waiver and short questionnaire before participating in our classes. If you’d like to streamline the process you may print and fill it out in advance (recommended). If you are new to CrossFit Cypher and would prefer a free 1-on-1 consultation prior to jumping in our Group Classes, please reply or call back and I would be happy to schedule it with you.

Starting January 30th (the following Monday), we will start accepting new members on a standard monthly payment system, but for a short time you may bypass the normal 2-week introductory On-Ramp class. This means that, again, you may just come and workout at normal class times after selecting from one of our Monthly Membership options. We are doing this for a few reasons: 1) To give everyone a chance to try out CrossFit at our new location 2) to minimize barriers to entry while the classes are still relatively lean, and 3) all of our classes will be geared towards beginners in the the same spirit of the On-Ramp while we establish a base of membership familiar with our practices. Rest assured (no rest!) that everyone’s needs will be met.

If you plan on attending any of these classes please e-mail us with a short note so we can get a head count. We welcome your questions and comments as well. Thanks and hope to see you this week!

…is a many splendid thing. Laying the floor down and getting it right was heinous, but very satisfying to be done with. Pull-up rig is up next later this week. More to come soon!
