Fight for Brian

As most of you know, earlier this year Brian Stump, a CFKI athlete and father of two athletes as well, was diagnosed with Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN), a very rare and very terrible disease.  You can check out this link for more information.  He is being treated with chemotherapy, among other things, and the good news is that his latest round of chemo is almost over.  The bad news is that his chemo treatments are being denied payment by his insurance company because he does not have cancer.  As you can imagine, chemo is an expensive procedure and whether he is fighting the insurance company or paying for it himself, Brian needs our help.
On November 22nd, 2014, CrossFit Kent Island will host “Fight for Brian”, a fitness challenge that is geared toward CrossFitters but open to the public.  You do not have to be a master of gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting to be able to compete in this challenge.
The cost of entering the competition is $10 until October 31st, and $15 afterwards.  What we would like to ask of each competitor, and even those not competing, is to make a donation to Brian’s fund on top of that entry fee.  Brian is aware that we are including a fundraiser for him in this event, but what he’s not yet aware of his how many friends he has at CrossFit Kent Island, and how much they want him to be able to pull through this, both healthfully and financially.
Check back in here and at our Facebook page for more updates.
The competition workouts are slowly being released, once per week, to registered attendees.  Here are the workouts releaseed to-date:
WOD 1: ENDURANCE

– Lunch and a drink will be provided by Brian’s sister Donna for all competitors and volunteers.  Please feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks as well.
– There will be space in the gym to warm-up and relax in between WODs, but you are also welcome to hang out outside.  Please bring a folding chair with you if you’d like to sit – we do not have enough seating for more than 10 people!
Please feel free to email Ryan@CrossFitKentIsland.com with any questions.  We’re really looking forward to this event!!

Labor Day Schedule

Ahh, Labor Day.  The day that we celebrate the great accomplishments of America’s labor unions.  I think.  Or maybe the act of childbirth?  Whatever it is, Monday’s a freaking holiday!  The schedule of classes at CFKI will be:
9:00am CrossFit
5:30pm CrossFit
Note: No Open Gym
Even if you’re accustomed to coming to the CrossFit Light class, the workout will be approachable for anyone, so come check it out!

Schedule Change: Week of July 15th

Teammates – I am going to be travelling this weekend, starting on Thursday.  Our wonderful coaching staff has stepped in to take on most of the classes, but we are going to adjust the schedule a little bit:
– Thursday, Friday, Saturday:  NO Open Gym
– Friday:  NO CrossFit Light
Thanks for understanding, and hope you can adjust your schedule accordingly!
Ryan
 

July 4th Schedule Change… Again!

Sorry for the change-up here, but we are going to move the Friday late morning class to 10am, rather than 11am.  That means that the menu has changed as well – we will be serving brunch food around 11am rather than grilling, since everyone I’m sure is headed to eat some grillers somewhere else!

Open Gym Cancelled Friday/Saturday

Hey team – Denee and I are travelling this weekend, so we’re going to cancel Open Gym on Friday (6/27) and Saturday (6/28).  If you were planning on getting into Open Gym for a workout, come on into class instead!  The 6am class is more lively than you think!

Saturday Open Gym Schedule Change

Weekend Warriors – we have updated our Saturday Open Gym schedule to 11am-1pm.  The previous schedule was 2-4pm, which didn’t seem to work for many of your schedules, and increasingly does not work for mine.  So let’s give this a try!
During Open Gym you can do the daily WOD, a different workout of your choice, or just come in to work on skills.  It is a free session, because it is not a structured class and our coaches may not be available to coach you through your workout.
Ryan

Open Gym cancelled Saturday, June 7th

The headline says it all here!  We will not be available for Open Gym on Saturday, so if you want to get a workout in this weekend, come on out at 9am and get it done!
