FTX Rates

As of 7/1/22 our membership rate and 10-packs will go from $175 to $185. Discount %s will remain the same for all current customers. These new rates will be effective 6/1/22 for new members.
Raising rates is not something we want to do. As any business must do given the current economic reality, we have to account for the unprecedented level of inflation. These economic factors are not our doing, and we cannot ignore them. To be the best FTX possible, to maintain our facilities, retain the best coaches, and adequately cover expenses, we need to increase our rates accordingly. We are by no means in a unique position as all businesses are currently having to adjust their pricing.
On the other hand, remember that if you’ve been a member at FTX for 6 months or more and you become unemployed, your membership is free for up to 6 months or until you regain employment. Also, if you are or you know of a member experiencing economic hardship, let us know so that we can come together as a community and help.

Murph – Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day for many kicks off the summer season, but in the CrossFit world it also means Murph!

We will be running the Murph workout during each of our regularly scheduled classes: 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am.

Overview of our programming this week

This week we start a new strength cycle. During the first half of the week, we will do short sets with little rest of front squats, deadlifts and bench press using bands.

Furthermore, the bands will also further stress our balancing and opposing muscles involved in each of these lifts. During the second half of the week, you will see back squats, presses, and deadlifts where you work up to your 1RM. This cycle will provide a comprehensive, multi-prong approach to gains!

Monday – Banded Front Squats and Deadlifts
Tuesday – Banded Bench Press

Thursday – Back Squat
Friday –Shoulder Press

Friday Night Lights

Come again this Friday @ 6:30 pm to the party.

We again had a great turnout for our Friday Night Lights. Let’s make this last one for 22.3 be even bigger. Come and cheer on the ladies, as they will be doing this one.

Our point grab for the team challenge this week is everyone’s favorite – Burpees! During the week, just add whatever number of burpees you do outside of classes to the board. This is still an honor system competition, so just add your burpees to the board.

For this last Friday Night Lights we will be doing a different fun game and a challenge like the other weeks. Hint: Come hang around for a bit on Friday.

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Friday, March 11th!

We will be open one final time from 2:30pm – 3:30pm on Sundays 3/13 to judge 22.3. If you are not doing the CrossFit Open, you can still come in on Sunday and do Open Box.

22.1 is done! We go into week 2 and are looking forward to 22.2 being announced this Thursday, March 3^rd.
Remember that though the WODs are released on Thursdays, we’ll run them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Friday Night Lights

Come again this Friday @ 6:30 pm to the party.

What a great first week! It was amazing to see everybody on Friday evening at Friday Night Lights. A BIG THANK YOU to our Masters and Teen athletes who really put the hammer down on 22.1!

This week we have a unique little point grab for the team challenge. During the week, we will be competing at…(drum roll please)…Fish Game! That’s right. Whatever score you get during the Fish Game ON THE ROWER, just add that to the board. Our scores will look a lot higher this week, but the rules are the same. You can’t gain points during coach led warm-ups or workouts, but anytime outside of that (while at the gym of course) play away! This is still an honor system competition, so just add each game score to the board.

For Friday Night Lights we will be doing our favorite kid’s game, Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick. In 1:00 perform 10-yard Shuttle Runs to collect 5 blocks and place them in a bucket. After all the blocks are collected do as many hops over a PVC pipe on 16″ boxes. 

Lastly, for a bit of additional competitive fun, you can balance a PVC pipe in the palm of your hand for time. We will give you 5 seconds to begin your balance, and then the timer starts from there. points will be awarded to teams based on length of time.

We are looking forward to seeing you all on Friday, March 4th!

We will be open from 2:30pm – 3:30pm on Sundays to judge the Open WODs. If you are not doing the CrossFit Open, you can still come in on Sunday and do Open Box. On Saturdays we will have an alternate WOD available in addition to the Open WOD of the week.

During the CrossFit Open we will be open from 2:30pm – 3:30pm on Sundays to judge the Open WODs. If you are not doing the CrossFit Open, you can still come in on Sunday and do Open Box. On Saturdays we will have an alternate WOD available in addition to the Open WOD of the week.
Register here for the CrossFit Open. You do not have to register for the Open to simply do the WODs at FTX. You do need to register for the CrossFit Open if you want to be judged. Please avoid doing the Open WODs on Mondays unless you really couldn’t do them Friday through Sunday, and then please avoid the busy classes. The CrossFit Open is a great time of camaraderie, challenging yourself, being a part of the worldwide CrossFit community and so much more. There will be scaling options so that people of all levels can participate. Join in on this amazing annual event that anyone can do.
Even if you are not officially signing up for the Open, you will have an opportunity to battle it out with your teammates to see which team will be the winner – Team Red, Team Black or Team Silver! We will have signup sheets at FTX to join the competition. The coaches will assign each person to one of the three teams. We will have various challenges and games for all skill levels that the teams will complete throughout the three-week period (2/24-3/14) for excitement, rivalry, and bragging rights!

January Review

FTX members take challenges seriously! It was so much fun to see all the participation and hard work. In our January Challenge, there were over 120 PRs, over 60 extra cardio efforts (5k row/ski, 12k bike, or 100 burpees), over 47 Burn! classes and over 36 hours of extra skill or flexibility work completed! Awesome and well done!

56 people participated. There were 357 entries with 63 prizes given. Congratulations to all the winners – but you all won with extra fitness!

During January we’ve also seen a lot of new faces. To our new members – Welcome to FTX! To our existing members – Make sure you introduce yourselves and welcome the “newbies” and show them what makes FTX so great, i.e. you all!

Overview of our programming this week

As we go into February we are going include a bit of Open prep in anticipation of the CrossFit Open which starts Thursday February 24^th. We will continue with some of the supersets, but we’re continuing with what we started last week having you do them after the WODs. We are throwing in plenty of dumbbell work as it will surely show up in the Open, but also because dumbbell work is excellent training on multiple levels. You don’t want to only use barbells for strength work. Part of continued hypertrophy is constantly challenging the muscles in new and varied ways. Here is our strength/skillwork lineup for the week.

Monday – SA DB High Pulls + SA DB Press
Wednesday – Lunges + Hip/Back Extensions
Thursday – Snatch  and Snatch Balance
Friday – DB Bench Press + Skull Crushers

Each week until the Open we will revisit some prior Open WODs. This week we are doing 19.1 on Wednesday. We are preceding this on Tuesday with a no measure WOD so that you can come at 19.1 with plenty of energy. Monday’s WOD consists of a good dose of Thrusters and jump rope. We can pretty much guarantee that those movements will show up during this year’s Open. Thursday’s WOD will get you jumping and doing plenty of pull-ups. Friday is cardio combo at medium weight of legs and body wt. movements. Saturday will hit everything.

FTX Yoga – Unfortunately due to a lack of demand, we’ve cancelled Yoga for the month of February.

FTX Classes – We have the most extensive group class based schedule of any facility in the area. See our schedule here – https://ftxcrossfit.com/schedule/.

FTX Kids’ Classes – We have classes for 8-13 year-olds Tuesday through Friday at 4:30pm.

Overview of our programming this week

Hopefully you all have enjoyed and benefitted from our weeks of super-setting various strength and skill movements. For this next week only about ½ the days have strength/skillwork. Our focus this week is on some longer workouts and core. We’re going to ensure all you FTXers have abs of steel!

Tuesday – Snatch
Wednesday – Front Squat
Friday – Clean

We start Monday with a classic Benchmark – Angie. We have 3 options for you on this workout to best ensure the right stimulus for your training. Tuesday’s WOD will ensure your glutes are not neglected this week. Enjoy those lunges! Wednesday is another classic Benchmark – Elizabeth. It’s a shorter WOD which will give us plenty of time to do those front squats, which in combination with Tuesday’s WOD will ensure we get the quads and glutes into hypertrophy beast mode. On Thursday, one part will hit the core hard, and the other part involves a lot of the Assault Bike. Do we need to say more? For Friday think “Rowing Fran”. Saturday is a longer 30-minute full-body workout.

Monday and Wednesday’s WODs are shorter triplets with lighter weights. These are both designed for people to go all out as far as speed goes given their aerobic capacity. Tuesday is a descending ladder of hang snatches and burpees with an EMOM interruption of squats.

FTX Holiday Teen Classes
We are working on be offering a special kids’ session for our early teen age group (ages 13-15) over the Christmas break. There wasn’t enough demand to do it for the week of Thanksgiving. So, if you want to participate in this over the Christmas break, please get in touch with Coach Carol. The idea is for this session to consist of 5 one-hour classes which will cover our Essentials curriculum. Teens will review the 9 foundational movements and more, including gymnastics movements and Olympic lifts, in preparation to joining the adult CrossFit classes. These classes will be held outside of our regular kids’ classes and will be geared specifically to this age group. Regular kids’ class punches will be applied to the program, which means this is a great deal relative to our regular Essentials Program! Please let us know if you are interested in the program by December 1^st so we can finalize times and dates. We need to hear from you if you are interested to be able to make this happen.

Mark your calendars

Overview of our programming this week
We hope everyone enjoyed last week’s WODs with their friends and family. It was great to see so many new faces at FTX. This week’s strength program is pretty varied as per CrossFit’s principle of “constantly varied”, but they complement well what we’ve been working on over the past few weeks. The workouts are a bit on the longer side this week and also involve more movements than usual. We will definitely be hitting all the muscles in the body in various way via chippers, AMRAPs, interval training and more.

Monday = Squat Cleans & Front Squats / Tuesday = Bent Over Rows / Thursday = Snatch / Friday = Bench Press

FTX Classes – We continue with our full schedule of adult and kids’ classes. See our schedule here – https://ftxcrossfit.com/schedule/.

FTX Kids’ Classes – We have classes for 8-13 year-olds Tuesday through Friday at 4:30pm.

#FTXHomeWODs – We have plenty of gear for those of you that want to do some of these workouts at home, whether that is because of childcare situations, health reasons, schedule conflicts, or whatever. We can loan out all sorts of equipment, including rowers and barbells. We can also do personal training sessions with you in your driveway/yard/garage or via Zoom. If this is your situation, then please reach out to us so we can get you all setup!
If you want to do one of our #FTXHomeWODs and follow one of our videos, then please enjoy the hundreds of videos you can now find available on our FTX CrossFit YouTube channel here.

FTX Rates
As of 1/1/2022 we will increase our rates for all existing recurring members. For new members or purchases of session packs (kids or adults), the new prices are effective immediately. Our new monthly membership rate will be $175. All existing members will keep their current discount %s for which they qualify. See our full list of rates here.
We did not want to raise our rates, but the economic factors of increased equipment/supply costs, taxes and labor costs have forced us to make a modest increase. All our existing members’ pre-paid final month will be treated as if they’d paid $175 vs. any other amount as a way of giving some recognition for your loyalty.

Overview of our programming this week

This week we are doing Friends & Family week on MWF. Our WODs are geared to be very beginner friendly on those days, but as everyone that has done CrossFit knows, they will still be challenging even for those with lots of experience. The focus of the WODs on MWF are body-weight movements. On Tuesday we have a straightforward couplet celebrating Coach Carol’s birthday. On Thursday we are doing our annual FTX Veteran’s Day WOD. Next Saturday will be a heavier team/partner WOD. Our strength programming this week is as follows:

Monday = Back Squat / Tuesday = Wt. Pull-ups / Wednesday = Bench Press / Friday = Shoulder Press

Overview of our programming this week

Some of the strength this week will be done before the workout, but others after the workout. This gives a very different stimulus on the lifts and adheres to the CrossFit principle of “constantly varied” to ensure the body doesn’t get a chance to adapt to a particular format. This prevents plateauing.

Monday = Back Squat / Tuesday = TGU / Wednesday = Power Clean / Thursday = Deadlift

This week we are revisiting some benchmarks, Hero WODs and past FTX WODs. It’ll be great to see how everyone is progressing. This week will be challenging.

Overview of our programming this week

Our current strength cycle mixes powerlifting with Olympic lifting. On the power lifting side, we are constantly varying the sets and reps to give you exposure to a variety of stimulus. We’re not doing a progression right now as when we do a 5-3-1 cycle, but instead hit you from different angles and in different ways to continue to spur muscle hypertrophy and avoiding plateaus. On the Olympic lifting side, we are working with the full movements on some days, and components thereof on other days.

Monday = Back Squat / Tuesday = Snatch / Wednesday = Ft. Squat / Thursday = Split Jerk / Friday = Deadlift

We start the week with shorter WODs. Combined with the heaver lifting on those days, you’ll get a good balance those hours between Metcon and Strength building. The workouts are longer in the second half of the week. Monday and Thursday are lower skill workouts. Tuesday and Friday involve higher skill movements, and Wednesday and Saturday involve more gymnastics/bodyweight movements.
