Did you know: RAW stands for "Ready and Waiting"?
September News at RAWCF
Hi <<First Name>>
Welcome to yet another semi-infrequent installment of the RAW CrossFit Newsletter.
Let’s skip the small talk and get straight to good stuff.
Closed Monday
RAWCF will be closed for the long weekend. If anyone is starting to notice a trend here, you would be correct in assuming that if there is a long weekend, it applies to RAWCF. As much as we enjoy hanging out with all our members, we enjoy our weekends, and so should you. Step away from the CrossFit people. It’s hard I know, but it is possible.
New Class Schedule
Once again, our class schedule will be changing to accommodate the beginning of the school year. We will be altering the schedule slightly, and adding some later class times.
We would like to let you guys have your say in which classes run and which become sign-up only.

How to sign up for classes
Coming new in September, all open classes (generally the noon and 2:00 options) on the schedule will require athletes to sign-up before the class. We would like to offer you guys as many class options as possible, but it’s no fun coaching an empty gym.
To sign up for classes please follow this link: RAWCrossFit.ZenPlanner
And click on ”Forgot your password”.
Everyone who is a current member at RAWCF has a temporary password in the system. Once you receive an email from Zenplanner, use it to login, and if you’d like, change it to something you will remember. You will then be able to use RAWCF’s class management system. You can also edit you personal and payment information.
NOTE: Please make sure the contact information we have for you at the gym is up to date.
We will be moving more and more to using Zenplanner as a means of communication and scheduling. Please take the time to get comfortable using the system. If you have any questions or problems getting logged in, please let us know next time you are in the gym, or shoot us an email at: support@rawcrossfit.ca
Fish Oil
As promised (a while ago), we have finally sourced some high-quality fish oil and fish oil + Vitamin D products that are now for sale at the gym.
Available in both softgel or liquid form, NutraSea fish oil from Ascenta Health Products (a Canadian company) exceeds pharmaceutical standards, sources their oil from the Herring family and submits it to an extensive 5 step purification process to remove such impurities as toxins, PCB's, mercury, iodine and other pollutants. Also, all batches of NutraSea are 3rd party tested, and you can input the batch number on your bottle to see the quality report for you particular bottle.
If you have been taking regular doses of fish oil, you are already aware of the benefits it will have on your performance and general well-being. We have been advocating its usage as a supplement, but have been reluctant to suggest a brand until further background research.
Thus, it is with confidence in quality that RAWCF now offers NutraSea fish oil in a High Potency format as well as a NutraSea+D to ensure you get a daily dose of vitamin D3.
CrossFit Kidz
With the success of our summer trial of CrossFit Kidz we have decided to continue with the program. The group of energetic young athletes that have been learning to love CrossFit for 8 weeks have been an inspiration to us as coaches. To watch the learning, skill development, coordination and strength gains that even kids as young as 6 can make is nothing short of remarkable.
If your youngster is an athlete, CrossFit Kidz will help them build a solid foundation of skills (coordination, balance, speed, agility etc.) to help them excel at their chosen sport(s).
With that said, we will be launching a second round of CrossFit Kidz starting in October (after the back to school rush has settled down a bit).
We have TWO new CrossFit Kidz options:
|
Ages |
Days |
Time |
| Puppies: |
5-9yrs |
M W |
3:45pm-4:30pm |
| Big Dawgs: |
10-13yrs |
Tues |
3:45pm |
|
|
Thurs |
5:30pm |
Start/End Date: October 4th - November 29th
** NO class on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 11
The Puppies class will consist of basic movements (lifting, running, jumping, pushing, pulling etc.) with emphasis on games and fun. Limiting the competitive aspect, the classes will focus more on building confidence, focus and creativity.
The Big Dawgs class will introduce a bit more movement and lift technique while still incorporating these learned skills in games and fun workouts. A little friendly competition, with a mini version of the CrossFit leaderboard for our Big Dawgs will help them see results and boost self-confidence. The classes will also help any athletes prepare for high school, and influence a healthy, active lifestyle.
Cost: $175 for 8 Weeks (16 classes)
Bring a friend/One-time Drop In rate: $20
Kids are encouraged to sign up with friends. These classes are co-ed, and we encourage working as a group. Having friends around is always a good way to ease into the world of CrossFit.
PLEASE REGISTER BY September 31st!!! Limited spots available!!

Borrowed Books
If you have one of RAWCF's books out on loan that you are finished reading, can you please bring it back into the gym so that others may enjoy them. Burpee interest may be applied if you have had a book for over 3 months. I know how you all love burpees!
