August 21
FYI: The NINE IN ONE class returns this Saturday, August 22nd starting at 8AM sharp! We will be tackling the Overhead Squat, Push Jerk, and Medicine Ball Clean -- three great movements which transfer directly into your overall development into better-performing human athletes. This month of classes has been amazing -- great athletes with even greater attitudes! I look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday AM.
UPDATE: On Saturday, August 29th at 10AM, CrossFit CLE will hold THE DAWG DAZE OF SUMMER WORKOUT. CrossFitters from all over the area are invited to join us for an "especially painful" workout.
The gym will be closed on Friday, August 28th and will open the doors on Saturday at 9AM for a "workout walk-through." This walk-through will cover any techniques and fundamentals needed to complete The Dawg Daze workout. If you are new to CrossFit and plan on participating in the 10AM WOD, you are required to first attend the 9AM class. No show means no go; no exceptions.
** New means you are not an active member of a CrossFit affiliate and/or less than 90 days of CrossFitting experience. This WOD will be extremely challenging, both physically and technically, and scaling will be limited to two levels: Savages (ass-kicking-taking-names-later CrossFitters) and the Pack (little monsters in the making). Again -- if you have not been a CrossFitter for at least 90 days, you will need to be at the gym by 9AM or will not be allowed to participate in the 10AM WOD.
If you have questions, feel free to shoot me an email: [email protected].
NOTES: No love for this year's Fight Gone Bad charity workout? Two responses so far. Two? Really? If you're interested in CrossFit CLE holding Fight Gone Bad IV on September 24, let me know with an email or write your name on the gym's whiteboard. The State of Ohio is REPRESENTING POORLY! [A total of $240 from 8 Ohio gyms. Check out the overall team stats HERE.]
High school football in the state of Ohio is more than a passion, it's a lifestyle. Boys and girls; mothers and sons; fathers and daughters; friends and family; the lights on any given Friday night turn friend to foe with the snap of the pigskin. Friday is the first night of football throughout the state. Our workout follows CrossFit Football's WOD for the day.

WHEN YOU SEE HIM: Make sure you say thanks to Speed. He will be the acting admin for CrossFit CLE on BEYOND THE WHITEBOARD. [Yep, we're back!]
P.S. Don't bombard him with emails and bother him like crazy, if he happens to miss a day's post. He's doing this for all the CLE athletes using the BTW to track workouts and progress. The next day workouts still will NOT be posted until AFTER the current day's classes are completed; so BTW won't be posted until the WOD hits the web. That's us, not him. Thanks for helping out, Speed.
And while I'm showing my nice side, I'd like to thank Cindy and Jackie. When us boys forget to grab some gym "essentials," they always hook it up. When you see them in the gym, make sure to say thank you. [Especially for the smelly-good hand soap and paper towels! Me likey!]
This community is what makes CrossFit kick ass! When I think about the camaraderie and support throughout our lil' box and the CF community worldwide, my heart swells a bit. Go to Bally's. Workout at 24-Hour Fitness. Take a group class at your local municipality's state-of-the-art community center. Then, spend an hour at CrossFit CLE.
Yeah, thought so...
Thanks to all of YOU who MAKE US.



What the heck people! We are all probably going to do a WOD that day anyways, even if you only raise a few dollars it still counts. I think as a group we can accomplish a lot. Cancer doesn't care that the economy sucks, research still needs to be done. And how awesome is the wounded vet program!! Please reconsider CF CLE taking part in the fight gone bad fundraiser. If anyone wants a flyer to give out let me know, I'll be more than happy to make some.
Flyers sound like a great idea Cindy! I honestly missed the talks about the FGB fund raising stuff the first time, but I'm in for sure... I hate cancer!
Also thanks to Speed for being an admin on BTWB since I'm the one that complained about it :)
I'm down for the FGB thing.
(Thanks for the BTWB Speed)
Didn't know about it but count me in, besides flyers anything else that need to be done?
Carl,
Why are we doing ours on Thursday the 24th, when the rest of the world is doing it on Saturday the 26th?
I'm in, I didn't even know about it. Thursday or Saturday, I will be working out anyway.
Im in! I won't be able to do it that Saturday I work boo :( but I can do it Thursday! Either way though I in!
Again... I'm definitely in. BIG THX, Speed! That last post I had to create took FOREVER!
The author of crossfitcle.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: what the i thinks it creates be very careful what your i thinks it all begins with the i Thanks for the info.
