New location

Hello Centurion CrossFit athletes and supporters!  We have officially moved back into Kieschnick gym, we are located in the back room on the other side of where are of their weight lifting equipment is currently located.  There have been several questions about what this means for us so I wanted to post this to hopefully clear up any confusion or worry you may have.  If it does not please feel free to contact me through our email centurioncrossfit@gmail.com or just ask one of the coaches before or after class.

    First, the only class time that is changing is the 0600 class on Saturdays, unfortunately the gym doesn't open until 0700 on Saturdays so that means we will have to wait until they open.  At least for now.  I have requested a key but I am not sure I will get it.  That also means that if the gym is closed, say on a holiday, then we will also be closed.  I will do my best to keep you all up to date on gym closings.  It does mean that we will have a little less autonomy but we will have full access to locker rooms, rest rooms, matted floors and better temperature control!

    For the kids, we will be able to have kids in the gym.  If they are 12 or older they can workout with you but anyone under 12 needs to stay in the office space that we have there and must be supervised.  If you do bring kids in, MWR asks that you take them through the hallway by the locker rooms and not through the big area with all of the equipment in it.  

    Please make sure that you sign-in when you enter the gym through the front door and then again with us.  We have to turn in a copy of our sign-in sheets daily.  We will be able to go out the back door to be able to do our running or sled pushing but that back door access is only during class.  Also, when you first enter the gym or leave the gym you must go through the front door.  If people are entering or leaving out the back door outside of class they will not allow us to use that back door anymore.

    Our programming is changing.  We have been having the coaches rotate who does the programming from week to week and that has been fantastic, but we have decided to start using CompTrain class programming.  I think we will all really love it!  With that, unless it is an open gym time (lunch or 1830) please make sure that we are doing our programming.  You will all be able to access the gym pretty much anytime Kieschnick is open, just maybe not all of the equipment.  Also, we will have to switch to SugarWod for our app for the programming.  I was told that SugarWod gives the app use to military affiliates for free but the programming is about $30 a month.  Some of the coaches are going to help me to pay for this but we will also happily accept any donations from anyone else that wants to help out, but please do not feel any obligation to do so.

    If any of you have issues with the gym staff at Kieschnick please bring it up to the coaches and/or myself and we will work with the gym staff and MWR to rectify anything that comes up.  I expect that we will have a few bumps in the road but I think that this move will be great for all of us.  On top of just being able to use their building we will have access to their advertising and possibly enjoy some of their equipment as well, starting with rowers!  If you have any concerns about the move please let me know.  Our part of the CrossFit community is very important to me and I truly want your hour with us to be one of the best hours of your day so if you have any suggestions to help improve things please let me know.

    Looking forward to a great 2019 and significant improvement for all of us!
