CrossFit Open
Coming Thursday, March 11th

This is a three-week worldwide event for all, where we all do one workout per week in this Open competition.

Weekly Open Schedule:

• Thursdays – At 7pm the workout of that week will be announced via the CrossFit Games website. – https://games.crossfit.com/
• Fridays – At 6:30 pm we will have our Friday Night Lights. We will have our very own FTXers go head-to-head. Week 1 – The Men / Week 2 – The Women / Week 3 – Teens & Masters. Come do the Open WOD or to just watch. We will be transmitting our Friday Night Lights online via Zoom. And after our Friday Night Lights we will all head to a local restaurant to continue the fun.
• Saturdays – Will be devoted to doing the Open WODs during all classes and Open box.
• Sundays – We’ll be open 2:30pm – 3:30pm for doing the Open Workouts or you can simply do Open Box.
• Mondays – Scores need to be submitted by 7pm. If you couldn’t make it in during any of the other times to do the Open, then Open Box times (11am, 2:30pm) are excellent for making up the WOD. Please don’t plan on doing the Open WODs on Mondays during our busy class times, especially 4:30pm and 5:30pm.

We will also have special team challenges each week that can be done throughout the week.

More than a workout – Change your life!™

Regular full schedule this week.

We’re coming to the end of our current strength cycle in a couple of weeks. We are doing the strength/skill-work after the MetCon while under fatigue. The format this week is mostly doing sets of 10 every other minute on the minute. We vary things constantly to keep the body “confused”, which forces the body to adapt, and thereby getting better long-term results.

This is a reverse of how we usually do it, but this is consistent with the principle of constantly varying things and thereby getting better results by mixing things up. And this should help us better prepare for the Open workouts themselves.

Gymnastics Clinic
Sat, 1/23 & Sat, 2/20

It is time to sign up for FTX’s two-part Gymnastics Clinic led by coach Patrick, which has its first meeting on Saturday, January 23. Participants will learn simple exercises for developing the strength required for gymnastics movements, then leave with four weeks of progressive homework plans to be accomplished alone or with friends. The group will meet again on February 20th to learn the techniques required for various gymnastics movements and leave again with progressive homework to sharpen in those gymnastic skills before the CrossFit Open.

Skills are broken into two courses: Basics and Advanced:

• The Basics course is for all levels, whether you are working on your first pull-up or preparing for this year’s Murph. Basics covers pull-ups, toes-to-bar, and handstand push-ups. (Meeting time 1:00pm)
• The Advanced course is for those looking to succeed in movements required to Rx the CrossFit Open workouts. Advanced covers bar muscle-ups, ring muscle-ups, and handstand walks. (Meeting time 2:00pm)

Cost is $75 per person and participation is capped to ensure personal attention. Non-FTX members are welcome but will need access to their own equipment to accomplish the homework.

FTX Kids’ Classes

Our FTX Kids’ schedule is:

• 2:30pm – 3:30pm – Tuesday and Thursday
• 4:30pm – 5:30pm – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

If a given class is full, please do still sign-up and get on the waitlist. First, people do cancel and that way you’ll often still get in. Second, this allows us to see demand and lets us best judge the need for more classes. We want to offer enough classes to ensure all the kids can attend as often as desired.

New Zoom Classes

We have added a whole new capability to FTX! You can now participate in any of our classes via Zoom. With the system we’ve installed it’s almost like you are at FTX.

A secure experience is a priority for both those joining via Zoom and those doing the class in-person. We will use unique Zoom IDs and passwords that will be displayed in Wodify in the schedule for the corresponding class time.

Merry Christmas!
For a child is born to us, a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:

His government and its peace will never end.
He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David
for all eternity.
– Isaiah 9:6-7

FTX’s 12 Days of Christmas

Between the 1st and 12th we’ll be collecting new, unwrapped toys to donate to the Evangelical Child and Family Agency in Wheaton. They are working with getting care for over 170 kids this holiday season. We also encourage you to buy your gift from Pinwheel Toys located at 245 Rice Lake Square in Wheaton. They are a local small business that has suffered due to shutdowns and restrictions. For each toy given, FTX will donate an age appropriate Bible or Bible Story Book to accompany the gift. You can drop off toys during any of our operating hours and place them under our Christmas Tree. We’ll deliver the toys on Monday 12/14.

And what would all this be without corresponding WODs?! We start and end with a 12 days of Christmas WOD on the 1st and 12th. And halfway through on Saturday the 5th we’ll do the Faith RXD Naughty or Nice II WOD.

Let’s share some Christmas cheer with some kids in our community that are going through some difficult circumstances. Let’s do this FTX!

They are working with getting care for over 170 kids this holiday season. We also encourage you to buy your gift from Pinwheel Toys located at 245 Rice Lake Square in Wheaton. They are a local small business that has suffered due to shutdowns and restrictions. For each toy given, FTX will donate an age appropriate Bible or Bible Story Book to accompany the gift. You can drop off toys during any of our operating hours and place them under our Christmas Tree. We’ll deliver the toys on Monday 12/14.

And what would all this be without corresponding WODs?! We start and end with a 12 days of Christmas WOD on the 1st and 12th. And halfway through on Saturday the 5th we’ll do the Faith RXD Naughty or Nice II WOD.

Let’s share some Christmas cheer with some kids in our community that are going through some difficult circumstances. Let’s do this FTX!

Our priorities at FTX are:

1. Providing a great place to workout that is fun and challenging, and developing a great community.
2. Part of fun is the safety and well-being of our members. It is not fun if it is not safe.
3. Producing life changing results for our members. This is about much more than simply physical results.

As you will or already have noticed, we have two new trainers joining us. Well, one isn’t really new. Patrick Marshall will be back at FTX through the end of this year. Older members will have some catching up to do. New members can look forward to some awesome classes led by an excellent coach. Our other new trainer is Sarah Wagner. She’ll be helping us out on some Saturdays and with our FTX Kids’ program. Please giver her a big welcome!

We will be closed Labor Day September 7. For those that wan’t to do a workout that day, we suggest a 5K or 10K run! Running is an important component and aspect of fitness. It’s as functional as it gets. We never program a pure run for a workout at FTX, so this is a perfect day for doing that.

Other than Monday, we are operating on a normal schedule with most classes limited to 12 persons. This limitation is due to the number of racks we have, so that we can avoid having people share a rack. We removed this limitation from the 6:30am and 5:30pm classes. Those classes are capped at 20 persons.

We have been updating equipment over the last few weeks ensuring that FTX’s equipment and facility are up to date. We hope you have enjoyed the new SkiErgs, rowers, plates, bars, jump ropes and medicine balls.

Also, get ready for our annual anniversary party – Saturday, October 31st. More details here! It’ll be a fun evening for the whole family!

Friday, September 4 – Screech – https://youtu.be/ogiIvYnmL_g

We are also supporting our members that are in a high-risk category and wanting to come into workout at FTX. If you would like to request a partitioned space to exercise, please send an email to trainer@ftxcrossfit.com by 8 pm the day before you plan on coming. We’ll setup a space so that you will have at least 12’ of social distancing. Also, it is important that you reserve the class time in Wodify as well. In the email request, please include the following information:

• Class time you will attend
• What level you will be doing of the WOD so we can set out the right equipment. You can also make requests for any other equipment if you will be doing something different.
• Any questions you have regarding the workout, including modifications

The trainer will set up a coned off space with all requested equipment by an open doorway. Please understand that if the previous class is full, your space may not be ready before your reservation and may take just a few minutes to setup. We will do our best to get it prepped beforehand.

We are here to serve all our members and to provide the best experience possible for all!

What we are doing to prevent Covid-19

• Foremost, we are building a stronger and healthier you. Your immune system is your first and best defense. Nutrition, exercise and rest are essential to keeping you healthy. What we do develops a healthier you. Part of rest is reducing stress. We strive for FTX to be a great place to relieve stress. Our goal is to be an oasis for our members.
• We are continuously cleaning our facilities
• We ask all members to wash their hands before and after working out.
• We require any members that are feeling sick or exhibiting any symptoms to say home.
• We are restricting or significantly limiting the use of any shared equipment.
• We provide cleaning supplies to wipe down all equipment before and after use.
• Our floor is marked at 12’+ intervals so people can easily setup their stations and social distance as necessary/desired.
• Upon request, during our 5:30am, 7:30am, 3:30pm, 6:30pm and 7:30pm classes we will setup 400+ sqft of section of space, with a dedicated entrance and set apart equipment for you to work out.

What we are not doing due to Covid-19

• Requiring masks.
• Taking temperatures or any other type of health exam prior to entering our facilities. We trust that anyone feeling sick or experiencing symptoms will stay home.
• Allowing people to wear masks during the work outs. None of the masks being used have been rated for their O²/CO² exchange efficiency. Intense exercise requires good, unrestricted breathing.
• Policing members that may or may not social distance. We trust people to use their best judgement.
