April 5, 2023
It was an action-packed night to remember. We competed in the Open 💪🏋️ to a live DJ 🎶🎛️, did some keg stands 🤸🏼, and there was even some circle dancing to traditional Greek music 💃🏼🕺🏼. The best part about it all? Kaylie made it to the quarterfinals!! Keep up the strength, you’re an inspiration to us all!
In other news, Lana and Brian discovered a new career path in DJ’ing Sweet 16’s and weddings. Best of luck you two… perhaps one day you’ll headline a future Friday Night Lights!
(We know you’re skeptical but we have pics to prove how it all went down. See them here!)
First, a big welcome to our newest members, Brandon Regina, David Aguasvivas, Joey Acosta, Luis Ortiz, Mark Gioino, Shirley Gonzales, Fernando Luiz, Cindy Bulding, Jesse Bachrach, Dino Xenos, Brett Berliner, Maria Vivas, Matthew Greiner, Victor Alvarado, Tom Maki, Flor Zhagui, Silvio Martinez, and Karin Arias! The Dynamix family is here to help you not just survive, but thrive. Please reach out to any of the coaches with questions you might have to get you started (i.e., technique/skill, goal setting, etc.).
And thank you for your survey responses! They mean a whole lot and we’ve made improvements based on the feedback provided. We’re continuing to explore new ways to increase the value of your Dynamix membership. And to that end, we wanted to announce a very important project that we’re just getting underway: leveling the floors.
Over the last 11 years that we’ve been open in this (converted) warehouse space, giants with tremendous strength have graced our box (yeah, you’re one of them), albeit leaving divots and craters in the concrete floor in their wake as they dropped heavy weights from overhead. The rubber stall mats that we’ve had in place since our inception have served us well, to a point. Unfortunately, they’re really meant for horses and are not designed to distribute impacts laterally across the floor. That said, we want to upgrade the floor to a level and impact-resistant floor. Doing so will be a fairly large undertaking that will require money and a bit of time (would likely require us to close for a few days). But it must be done because we’re not going anywhere anytime soon and just think of the fun we’ll have on a brand new floor! So far, we’ve identified the flooring company that will do the job and we’re waiting on an estimate from them.
With that said, you can look forward to some fun fundraising events like “Class Wars” (e.g., 5:30pm vs 6:30pm class), and the like. We’ll need all hands on deck to help make this a reality for us so thank you in advance for your support and participation!
Next, here are some important announcements and box updates:
- Save the Date: 4/16 Spring Cleaning. Spring is in the air and we’re calling on anyone who would like to volunteer for Spring Cleaning day on Sunday, April 16th! We’re looking for about 10 volunteers who will do just about anything for unlimited pizza and beer (and a good time). Summon your inner Marie Kondo and let’s show those dust bunnies who’s boss! Email us or sign up at the front desk.
- Spring into 2023 with our Sunday Morning Masters class with Coach Fred Smallwood from 8:15-10am. If you missed a class during the week or if you’re looking for some technique refinement and or extra conditioning, sign up for this intimate class of nine (9). If you’re wondering why 9 and not 10, well, you’ll just have to take the class to find out. 😉
- A bunch of us are still knee-deep in dieting/macro-counting through Renaissance Periodization. Click here to learn how to start and get the 10% Dynamix discount. We have a support group with RP OG’s Hugo, Maria, Glenn, and Anne (our in-house RD); you can join the WA chat group here. Bottom line: it works and you’ll be better off learning how macro-counting can help you reach your fitness and aesthetic goals.
- We hate to sound like a broken record (and this is mainly for the newcomers), please do pay extra care in handling and cleaning the equipment. As long as you’re with Dynamix, the equipment is yours as much as it is ours. 😎 Here’s a video on how to clean the rowers and barbells.
- And in general, if anything’s amiss at the box, do let us know please.
- We’re still running our member referral program! If you refer a friend who stays for at least 6 months, you’ll get a month FREE!
- PLUS, we’re going to expand our free trial program to 1-week, and not just one class. The next free trial week will run from Apr 17-23. This is to help new members get a taste of our community (and not just one–probably very scary–WOD). And please remember to give a warm welcome to new faces around the box–they’re probably terrified! (remember your first day of CrossFit??)
- Could you be a doll and leave a 5-star Google review pretty please? Every positive review counts and helps us expand our offerings to our members.
And now it’s time to celebrate some of the Happiest Days in March!! 🥳🔥🪅
