A note about nutrition, Schedule changes for the month and a brief look back

Man its been a while since I posted on here and there are a few things I wanted to get out there for you guys.

The first is how proud I am of the lot of you for your dedication in the nutrition challenge.
Most of you are sticking to the plan, and even after a few hiccups have rededicated your self to nutrition.
Couple of things in that regard. First with only 1 1/2 weeks left of the nutrition challenge, know that 60% of the points are tied up in the final work out and it is not too late to make a change.

  Second. Some schedule changes for the month of February. You all know that I strive to give you the best experience possible in the gym. That is why I strive to keep my classes to about 7 people, why I require OnRamps to get started, why I spend so much time working on the programming and why I never mind you sticking around after classes to work on anything you want to work on. CrossFit Tulare has always had an unofficial open gym policy, If you want to come in early or stick around later to work on your weaknesses and do some focused skill work I encourage you to do so. This is going to be even easier now as we are adding some extra open gym hours at the end of the day. Beginning today, every day of the week the gym will be open until 8pm. We are running some OnRamps(MWF) at the 7pm hour but your are welcome to come in and work on whatever it is you need to work on. This is in addition to our open gym ours from 2-4pm earlier in the day.

Any Classes and Personal Training take precedence over Open gym ( Equipment and floor space) and Coaching is not guaranteed.

Lastly, You may notice Larry and Jon Hanging around the Gym a little bit more, both are interning and working on becoming Coaches. They are currently running people through OnRamps and you can expect to see them at a few Saturday classes this month.

Finaly A brief history lesson On CrossFit Tulare

CrossFit Malibu you cant see it but there is an awesome
rain bow

First Did you know that CrossFit Tulare started Out in Malibu. When I was an intern at CrossFit Malibu I also ran the Campus Gym, as well as teaching A few Classes during the week.

Just Like you guys they had no Idea what they were getting into

Happiest wall baller I have ever seen.

This was all the equipment I had to get started with. 

Spent the money I had saved during college to buy our first
Squat stands and weights 

When I moved Back home after graduation, I started training my family in my garage.














Once I got married and came back from the honey moon, I found us a place to open up CrossFit Tulare.

Most of you Never Saw, this on the wall
at K street. 

all the equipment that had filled up the garage
didn't look like much in that building.

every new person who joined up meant new and better equipment, Still does in fact. 

Then after two years of making people fitter and telling them to bring in their friend we out grew our first space. and we moved to our current location. 

it took a whole to get set up, but with your help we have created a pretty special place. 

I just wanted to say thanks. With out you guys there is not CrossFit Tulare. You guys are what makes this place awesome. Your attitudes, your drive, your pursuit of goals, every single one of you makes me proud. doesent matter if you lost 60+pounds, or achieved a goal you were told you couldn't. Keep up the good work. You gusy are what makes this community Great.
