Crossfit Games Open!

The Open starts this week, I hope everyone is as excited! We will be doing the Open events Saturdays during the 11am class. Anyone who doesn't have a bax to validate their scores is welcome to join us for free instead of having to submit a video online to HQ. Email Info@CrossfitBroadRipple.com to sign up or for more information. We will have a lot of athletes competing in the Open this year so the atmosphere will be awesome! Get ready!

Gym Closed this Weekend

CFBR will be closed this weekend. Everyone should come to the Great Lakes Invitational and cheer on our competitors!

We are going to meet at CFBR at 6am Saturday and leave for the competition by 6:15am. We'll need to get there early to claim some space in the competition area for spectators and in the waiting area in between events. Bring some food, snacks, pillows, first aid supplies, or whatever else you may need and be ready to cheer your heart out!

CFBR 2nd Annual Christmas Breakfast!

Come join us for our 2nd annual Christmas breakfast at A2z Cafe this Friday at 8am. Good friends, good food, and mimosa. What more could you want?! See you there! Directions and menu found here.

Be sure to check the calendar online for schedule changes during the holidays. There won't be any drastic changes, just a few cancellations for Christmas and New years.

Good times and good friends!

Mission Accomplished!

You guys came through in spades with your donations for Gleaners and we not only beat our goal of 1000 items donated, we smashed it. In just two weeks you donated 1651 items! I couldn't be more proud of the generosity of our community! We had many people donating 50, 60, even 100 items! Truly outstanding. Thank you to everyone who donated, the social committee for organizing the food drive, to everyone who helped out. A big thank you for making this such a huge success!

This means George and I will have to complete some crazy workout for you all to watch and enjoy our torment, which will take place next Saturday after the 11am class. The social committee has organized this workout and I have no idea what it's going to be, but I'm sure it'll be amusing to say the least...

There was a prize for the 2 people who brought in the most items to donate, which was a private training session with me. Everyone did such an amazing job and so many people went above and beyond with their generosity, I've decided to extend that prize to everyone who donated 40 items or more. That's about 16 people! I can't thank you enough for your generosity in helping out Gleaners Food Bank. Great job everyone!

Our 6' tall food tree!

CFBR Anniversary and Gleaners Food Drive!

CFBR celebrated our 3 year anniversary last week! Somehow it slipped my mind... Seems to have just flown by from all the fun we've had! Thank you to our amazing community, you've made that last 3 years a blast! How should we celebrate?

Announcing new class times! As of Tuesday, December 20th we'll be adding a 9am and 12pm class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are looking for a babysitter for the 9am class so spread the word!

The canned food drive is in full swing, and you guys have already done one hell of a job! I'm really impressed with the giving spirit of our community. So far Jeff and Mary have donated 60 food items and several others have donated 15 or more! You guys rock! We're on our way to our 1000 item goal, so please donate what you can to help out Gleaners food bank. They have some specific items they need including:

• Beef stew, tuna and other canned meats
• Macaroni & Cheese and other boxed dinners
• Cans of soup
• 100% Juices
• Applesauce
• Canned vegetables
• Peanut butter
• Canned fruits

Get in the giving spirit, and help out those less fortunate. Our goal is 10 items from each member, so please bring in your food items to help out Gleaners food bank and get in the running for our top donator's prize!
