Tonight at the Kinsale Resturaunt, Boston


Party Bus leaves CFNE at 7:00pm

Pete is providing an incredible menu, so come hungry.

You can sleep at CFNE - just bring a sleeping bag or whatever.  We would really like people to plan on this.  We set up the bus so no one would have to drive.  You know we have showers and whatnot for the morning, so stay here, and make a night of it. 

NO 7:30 AM CLASS TOMORROW for obvious reasons. 
There is a 8:30, 9:30 and 10:30 intro class.

42 Athletes Registered the First Day!

This is a lighter variation of the traditional Barbell DT, but we don't have enough dumbbells over 45# to accomodate you beasts.  If you wanted to do this legit the conversion would be with 60# DB for men and 40# for women.

An Email I received...

Ben,

  Thanks for contributing to our great experience at the games.  When I came to the training camp at CFNE before Regionals, I knew it was a special place.  You definitely have a ton of talented athletes.  But, that isn’t what stood out to me as much as the kind of people that CFNE members and coaches are.  They all want you to excel.  I know that probably doesn’t seem rare to you, but it is.  To have that many top athletes all pushing each other and all behind each other’s success is phenomenal.  It’s amazing.  I’m jealous

  When Brent and I decided to go out to the games, we wanted to support the Northeast.  We wanted the member of our gym to feel she wasn’t alone out there.  We wanted to cheer on LP.  We wanted to see CFNE dominate.  And, you did just that.  It was so unfathomable that you had potential winners in every category CrossFit offered.  In every category, they kicked ass!  Which is incredibly impressive, but as I said before, they are also amazing people.

  I found myself wanting to only hang out with them.  They are light spirited, fun, super-cool and put on a game face when they needed to get the job done.  I am just so impressed with CFNE in every way.  I have been to a number of gyms across the US and a couple in other countries, but I have never seen what I do at CFNE.  It’s top down. You and Heather are great leaders.  Thanks again for the good times!

CFNE...A Great Place

At CFNE we strive to be the Best Damn Gym in the World.  But that doesn’t mean our number one goal is to win The CrossFit Games or even to have the fittest athletes in New England.  Our number one goal is make sure that each and EVERY one of our members is reaching their fullest potential.  Our mission statement is “To provide excellence in fitness coaching, in an environment that is fun and conducive to a healthy lifestyle.”  In other words, our goal is to coach ALL of our members to “Eat Clean, Train Hard and Live Life,” and to make sure no one gets left behind.

 

The success we had at the games was, as EC would say, AH-MAZING, and I am incredibly proud of Team CFNE's Second Place finish, Big Bri winning the Masters, and Heather's Top 10 performance; but creating a handful of Fire Breathers that can compete with anyone in the world is not our primary goal.  Any coach can turn a good athlete into a Ninja if they focus all their efforts solely on them.  The true measure of success for a gym and the reason we are the Best Damn Gym in the World (IMHO) is the support and friendships that exists in our box.  I would bet there aren’t many places anywhere in the world that have the support structure and bonds we have at CFNE.  We are a Great because the CFNE community exudes a unique positive energy that thrives on other’s successes, and has no patience for negativity or doubt.   We are Great because of the incredible success stories like Chandler, Eugene, Anne, Ronda, Billy, Marko, Ali and Pete.  We are Great because we welcome new members like they are family.  We are Great because we believe and expect EVERYONE will reach thier goals.  We are Great because of our Coaches- Heather, Mat, Mel, Jenna and Daigle.  We are Great because ALL of our members kicks ass!  You guys are what make us GREAT.

 

I love this place.
