Just bought three new Rogue ropes (the top of line ones!). We’ll get those hung up this week.
Favor, please take clothes and shoes home (or leave them in your car) overnight. I’d like to keep the cubbies open for folks to stash stuff during classes, not so much as overnight/permanent storage. Thanks!

I recently received an email from a drop-in, stating they had spent time in gyms all over town, and they wanted to make sure I knew that they felt Jason was the best coach they had worked with in town and an incredible asset for our gym and community! Of course, we agree, but it’s so cool to hear that from someone, and I love bragging on our team.

I’m back sending the daily emails. I know there is some overlap with these and the crossfit.com emails, but I want to use this daily channel to connect with members and coaches for announcements and Pisgah-specific content.
The crossfit.com daily emails, if you get them, have lots of great resources each day, including videos and coaching points for the work we’ll be doing the next day. Highly recommend.

CF Pisgah Class Programming
“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” - Helen Keller
CF Pisgah follows the CrossFit Affiliate Program programming. You can see what we’re working on in class today at CrossFit.com.
Monday, January 26
Announcements:
Weather update: Monday is looking iffy, at least the AM classes. Please check Push Press and/or the website’s schedule page before coming. Be safe out there!
We’ve started doing some community member profiles! We’re starting off with Herb Yancey, one of our longest-standing members. Check it out HERE.
I know crossfit.com will post this in a bit, but I’ll go ahead and share tomorrow’s WOD here. Some members have said they aren’t getting the WOD announcement emails from CrossFit, though some say they are. My only thought is to check spam, though others have had luck just downloading the CrossFit app and finding the workouts there.
Lastly, I’ve signed the gym up for workout tracking through beyondthewhiteboard, which will allow you to log your totals, monitor your progress, and keep up with and encourage members in other classes. I’m learning how to add our programming into the app so our workouts are pre-loaded for you, all you would have to do is enter your score each day. I think you’ll really like it!
As soon as I get the WOD entry figured out, hopefully Monday when they re-open, I’ll automatically each member so you can try it out.

Announcements:
Snow is supposedly coming! Check Push Press and/or the schedule on the website to see if classes are still on. We make a final determination no later than 1 hour before class, so if you see it on there within 60 minutes of class being scheduled, that means we’re planning on running it. Be safe this weekend!
CrossFit Open is getting close (Feb. 26 - March 16)!
We’ll be running Open WODs as part of class programming and doing a friendly in-house competition between classes (AM vs. PM! We’ll split up the Noonies. PM’ers, you’re going down!!).
However, if you want to register as an individual in the Open and be a part of the global event, it’s a fun, affordable, accessible experience. More details on that HERE.

Hey, CrossFit has an app. Download it. It has a free “Progress” tracker where you can log tons of 1 rep maxes and/or wod scores/times for tons of CF workouts. If you’re looking or an easy way to keep up with all the data you’re creating in the gym, this is a good option.
If you’re up for spending a little bit of money each month, I recommend the “Beyond the Whiteboard” app. It has a ton more functionality, is easy to use, and the daily CrossFit workouts are pre-loaded into the app!
After you do that, get off your phone! Real life is way more interesting.

“Create one goal, not ten. Not everything at once. One habit. Master it.” - Ben Bergeron
Announcements:
Phew. The holidays are behind us. We’re back to a regular class schedule. Excited to get back in a rhythm. Welcome to 2026!
I’ve really liked the programming that we’ve used (CF Linchpin, from Pat Sherwood) for the last few years. This week, and maybe next, I want to experiment with programming from CrossFit HQ, which I also like and has some small advantages over Linchpin. I think they are both great, but I’m going to take us down this road for a bit and then get a temperature check from the staff and from you to see how we want to move forward for the rest of ‘26. You’ll see some small changes on the WOD descriptions and whiteboard, but for the average member, you probably won’t notice much of a difference, if any!
Ok, here we go. Have a great week!
