Introducing CFK’s… 225 Club

What is 225 Club?

It’s no secret that with consistency comes results & we know that our program will deliver results! 225 Club is just that, celebrating consistency. In order to become part of the 225 Club athletes must attend 225 in-person Coached Classes in the 2023 Calendar Year (Jan 1 – Dec 31).

How is this different from 20 Committee?

20 Committee is celebrating being active at home & in person with 20 workouts in a month. This isn’t going to change and we want to still celebrate those who get it done in and outside of the gym!

For those athletes who make the 225 Club, we are going to kick off 2024 with a live video drawing where we are going to give away One: 1-Year Membership! We will have a tracker available in the Wodify App so you can monitor your progress! (Official tallying of 225 Members will be verified before drawing.)

CFK is Introducing Membership add on option(s) for those look to make the most of their training & lifestyles!

Introducing: CFK Nutrition Support Center

The phrase “abs are made in the kitchen” is a bit of a cliché, but holds some truth.

We are in the gym for an hour or so per day. Everyone works very hard, but the other cliché “you can’t out train a bad diet” holds true as well.

The word “diet” itself means many things to many people and often carries a pretty negative connotation. We prefer to call it a “healthy lifestyle” or “eating clean”. Those terms may also be a little vague and that’s where we want to help.

We want to provide an opportunity, a space to start getting guidance on your nutrition. Somewhere to get a level of accountability, feedback, meal ideas, even help at the grocery store.

We want all your hard work in the gym each day to be as beneficial as possible. But also to do it in a healthy and sustainable way.

This group isn’t meant to be one-on-one nutrition coaching, but that option is available as well. Inquire to [email protected] or [email protected]

For those looking for 1-on-1 Nutrition Coaching: Coach Jody is here for you!

Get ready for some Barbell. We have a Hang Power Clean complex that finishes with a Jerk! Then “DT” but with a bit of a twist, this one isn’t for time.

Wednesday:

Let’s get ready to get some grip work in! The Metcon to follow will get you moving fast. Careful not to go out the gate too hot in this one. It’ll be easy to do. The goal is to maintain continuous output for the entire AMRAP.

Thursday:

Great day for Gymnastics Strength Training (Pull Ups & Dips EMOM). Our Metcon will work on another push with your HR elevated in sprint style intervals!

Friday:

5 x 3 on a Power Snatch! We finish your Friday with a Challenge to see if you can keep holding on and keep lock in to avoid a penalty.

Saturday:

Time for you and a Partner to have some fun! Each Partner will be working at the same time with to alternating tasks!
