After nearly 8 months, we are reintroducing our beginner's program, now titled the Fundamentals Series. These classes run in a sequential 12 class format that will introduce, and/or refresh all the building blocks and basic movements that you need to know. The curriculum is designed to develop proper movement patterns, motor control and confidence for success in our Level 1 group classes.

The reality is we all need to work on mastering the basics, and we hope that many of our existing SCCF family members, will consider dropping in on a session to fine tune your skills. With this purpose in mind, we will post an outline of the schedule at the gym, so you can better decide which class would be time well spent.

As for Newbies, and people interested in training at our facility, the Fundamentals Series is a requirement that must be met, in order to attend our other class offerings. Here's the skinny:

- Monday, Wednesday, Friday, @ 6 to 7pm

- New Client is welcome to try any "Fundamentals" class, free of charge

- After that, we require a 12 session commitment which must be completed with a PASSING grade. We are looking for clients who will commit to us, and most importantly, themselves.

- 12 sessions take 4 weeks to complete, but we know schedules are tight and life happens, so we give you 60 days (2 cycles) to finish.

- Cost: $200

Please remember, especially those of you that just joined us, that this is not designed to be a painful barrier of entry. This program is in place to improve the safety, efficacy, and longevity of your training!

Freddy Camacho, of CrossFit One World, summed it up for me this week in his post How CrossFit is Ruining Your Knees. Fix Your Movement.

If you don't have any goals for 2011, or need one to move to the top of the list then make it so. All too often the intoxication of chasing performance takes over the CrossFit community and carnage is only soon to follow. Without trashing your enthusiasm, we want you to find a way to embrace the journey of perfecting your movement. Your body and coaches with thank you, and the letters P and R will become long term neighbors.

the future moves fast...

We welcome Twenty Eleven with a host of new athletes, and friends we can now call regulars. It has been an amazing ride this last year and we only hope to get better with age. There are many exciting items in store so get down to the shop and see what we are up to. One thing we hope to do is post more regularly this here website. Believe me, we hear it everyday, and if this could actually be a full time reality for us, it would happen that much faster.  So bring all your lurking friends who have wondering why you look so good and eat so much grass fed meat, and the future of SCCF will be even brighter.  Some other items on the horizon are new programs (Kids, Endurance, SPEAR, Rowing, revised On Ramp, etc), educational seminar/clinics, competitions, new apparel, more cooking demos, and client progress assessments, so get ready for OUR future.

It's 2011 and we want to hear your resolve...drop a post in the comments, facebook or email branden@sancarloscrossfit.com
