May is Firefighter Month at Cleveland CrossFit. Any firefighter that joins during the month of May will receive a 25% discount* each month on their first 12 months of membership, dropping $80/mo to only $60/mo. No contract is required.
"In firefighter competition around the country, it seems that whenever CrossFit-trained personnel enter, they end up at the top of the field. We might even say these CrossFit trained fire companies dominate the competition.
For those of us familiar with CrossFit and its results, this success is not terribly surprising. However, we have observed a phenomenon in these competitions that is curious indeed. In the parts of the competitions that require contestants to use oxygen tanks, CrossFit-trianed firefighters consumed less from their air bottles than other competitors. At first this seems odd -- winners using less air? The conventional understanding is that the more fit you are the more oxygen you can consume (i.e. the greater your VO2 max), the higher levels of exertion you can sustain, and the faster you can get the job done. But a well-developed motor pathway reduces the amount of work done by the body, thereby reducing oxygen consumption. ..." -- CrossFit Journal, March 2007
* This discount does not apply to cash or check payments - it only applies if monthly fees are paid via automatic PayPal subscription.

Schinabeck has been working with kettlebells for 18 months and will be

This clinic will focus on kettlebell exercises applicable to Crossfit
workout-of-the-day including: the swing, Turkish Getup, clean and
jerk, snatches, and thrusters.
There will be a fee of $10 for Cleveland Crossfit members and $20 for non-members. Please RSVP by phone or email.

Everyone had a new PR on "Fight Gone Bad" this Saturday!
We will be closed on Sunday for the Easter Holiday. You can find our most current schedule at calendar.clevelandcrossfit.com
Brady was in a major accident, in a coma for 5 days, and had to relearn how to walk. Quite a story!
I learned a lot this weekend from Coach Burgener at CrossFit's Olympic Lifting certification! This Saturday from 9:00 - 11:15 (normally a CrossFit rest day) I will be offering training for small groups (1-3 people) on snatches and cleans $15 per person for a 45 minute session.
This training is by appointment only - please RSVP via phone or email.
It will be best if you can come with a training partner because you will learn better watching your partner correct his/her mistakes as you correct yours. We will review the Burgener warmup, cover some drills designed to correct common errors, and use video so that you can see yourself what you are doing. My experience has been the video reinforces corrections much faster than a coach can put it into words. "Oh, I didn't realize I was doing that" is a common reaction.
If you've been skipping the snatch workout-of-the-day or feel like your cleans need some work, this session is for you.

After a few months and much effort, Joe got his first muscle-up yesterday!
Cleveland CrossFit will be closed on the morning of March 15, 16, and 17. Aaron will be in Florida for a CrossFit Olympic Lifting Certification with Coach Burgener and will come back with more tips and better training advice on cleans and snatches.
Just a reminder -- our open gym hours begin this evening! View our calendar: calendar.clevelandcrossfit.com
