After our mini DJ and competition session on Friday I knew there were still a good number of members who had not submitted their open score yet for this past weeks WOD. A reminder email went out to all members and it was written on our dry erase board that is found at the front of the workout area. Coaches were encouraged to get people involved in this event and to make sure that everyone posted their scores. Even though many of our members were not going to be at the top of the leader board, it is a good way for them to see where they stand compared to others in our box and outside boxes as well. Its all about competition and beating the person next you the next go around. Today I had about 5 people come in and sign up as new members and for fundamentals. One of the new members had tried CrossFit while she was out at see (Navy), but never officially took a class. Recommending her to take fundamentals was the smart thing to do so she could learn the techniques and become familiar with the movements. A new drop-in rate was used today as well. A drop-in normally cost $25 dollars, but the person had the opportunity to do that or pay $35 and get a t-shirt of their choice. Our apparel options are limited to t-shirts, tank tops and a few long sleeve hoodies. Other sweatshirts and zip ups are for members only because they are privately ordered. Almost every drop-in we have had over the last few weeks seems to do the $35 deal, I mean it is always hard to resist getting a new t-shirt right?! As inventory gets limited Val will reach out to an old contact she has in NYC who does our apparel. We try and switch up the colors and designs here and there so our members and visitors have a variety to chose from. As we noticed the decrease in options, Val and I started to brainstorm on some new designs and colors.
