As more members were signing up and we have been having more drop-ins, I suggested that we continue adding emails to the Mail Chimp server to increase the awareness of our new promotions and upcoming events. Most of the day was spent inputting emails received from new liability waiver forms and previous Groupon users. These were targeted because they are considered new potential members unless they individual is from out town. There were about 50 plus emails to enter, but I was able to get them all in. The email that was going to be sent out by Darren included information regarding a free 3-Day trial for all those interested in giving CrossFit a chance, this is a good way to see if its for them. Many boxes in the area do "1-Day Free Trial" or sometimes offer a drop in rate of $0. So by offering a 3-Day trial this gives us a slight advantage over other boxes in the area.
In the past CrossFit GSP has offered a body weight (Body GSP) class that consisted of stations and only body weight exercises. We have provided mobility classes on the weekend in addition to Olympic (OLY) Lifting classes run by our very own Olympic Weightlifting Coach. As we continue to grow and the demand for new classes is always a topic of conversation. Some classes that were suggested by myself were TRX classes, incorporating mobility sessions again and a barbell class. TRX has become the new leader in suspension and functional training for all levels. This type of training relies heavily on the human body and the power of the mind. These can help improve members squat, function while lifting and core. These products can be pretty costly for the amount we would order, but will be something the Owners look into and will consider later on down the road. OLY classes will begin to be incorporated once CrossFit GSP becomes an affiliate for USAW (USA Weight lifting). Our OLY coach and an OLY competitor (one of our members) will be the ones to lead this class on Sunday mornings in the next few months. The time line for this to being is waiting on the paperwork to come through from USAW. In regards to getting mobility classes back up and rolling a coach needs to be willing to teach it. unfortunately the one who has done it in the sat is not available on Saturdays so we will have to keep looking for outside talent to help us get this started again.
