New CrossFitMN Home Coming Very Soon!

Full steam ahead! We are moving forward with our new CrossFitMN home. This will be a new 2,400sq ft CrossFit exclusive gym. The whole place will be dedicated to building better monsters.

It will be located directly behind our existing space.

BJJ and Thai Boxing will stay and CF will get its very own clubhouse. Lano actually shed a tear when we told him about the multiple lifting stations and squat cages.

The final timeline is still being hammered out, but we should be in there ready to rock within the next couple of weeks.

We'll keep you posted!

We will have to break it in with a good workout. The new place won't have the smell of hard work. Lets get that place broken in right Micheal!

My vote is Fran for 1st WOD

Steve said...

I totally second the Fran vote - I have never done Fran.

Styx said...

Oh...we will BREAK IT IN alright...don't you worry : )

Danny said...

I call for a double workout out... Fran is to quick to "break" in a gym but it is a good one and I'm mostly saying this because the timing might workout where i wont be there for it...

Fran and Helen would be a good one!

How about Painstorm for the first week in the new digs? ;)

Anonymous said...

I like your style lucky7...it's gotta be pain storm!!!

But whatever it is...there better be loud music with lots of swear words.

Kped said...

All psycho's.....

Each and every one of you.

Dawn said...

I don't think I've ever sweared during a CF workout...

Caber Tosser said...

No, its the Little Samurais that are the potty mouths.

If you have never heard swearing during CF you obviously don't workout with the noon class. With the cops, waitresses, bartenders, ER docs, professional fighters, military guys and other cretins we have over lunch you will not only hear swearing, but the most inovative ways of doing it.

I have learned so many new ways to swear that I am just amazed. My pure little ears just burn when they talk! ;-)

They even come up with new CF terminology. My advice is that if you ever start a lift with one of the noon people around you better finish it! You don't wanna know what they call it if you don't!

Speaking of the noon crew, a few of us went over to the new space yesterday. It looks great and is moving along nicely. The slate and hardwood floors are already down in the lobby.

Painstorm it is!

I love when I get to play with the 12:00 o'clock crew, they rock. Who knew you could use the same word as a noun, verb, adjective, and adverb. Sometimes in the same sentence.

Damien said: "Painstorm it is!"

Ugh. I better practice my double-unders.

Jeff said...

Painstorm??? Gulp.

Charlie M said...

Lama i'd quit this outfit if it wasn't for you.

For those of you wishing for Painstorm week, here's a challenge for ya'll.... MOMROD cannot be left hangin' this time around. Successful completion all 5 days is a must.

Jeff said...

What's MOMROD? And what exactly is Painstorm anyway?

Momrod said...

Who's Momrod, not what. It's me, Sally, I was the only one to do all 5 painstorm workouts last time around. Just show up, it's better not to know ahead of time. Anyone up for the challenge? No excuses.

Anonymous said...

I'm up for the challenge!!

Dawn said...

Guess that means I'm in too!!!

Jeff said...

I'm in. We'll be in it together.
(And sorry for not recognizing you, Sally!)

Momrod said...

Maybe the night crew should challenge the morning and lunch crews?

CrossFit Minnesota said...

The morning, noon, evening challenge sounds like a great idea!

The only problem is that I don't think I can get the noon people to work together. They refuse to do team workouts for crying out loud. I post a team workout on the board and at least one of them yells, "eff the team!". A bunch of renegades. They don't even post on the blog. I think it is a combination of them not caring and maybe they don't know how to use the interweb?

I know the morning crew is down. They are like a well oiled machine. Up to any challenge....at least when I was running it. Now that Michael is doing the 6am class it they may be slack. ;-) I dunno.

Elizabeth said...

The morning crew is still going strong! We even picked up a few people along the way. Michael has us trained and ready to go. This is the moment we've been waiting for...

Danny said...

I will rally the lunch crew when i return from Pitt next week...

Styx said...

I heard that "SHOT" over the bow....I think I will let my Morning CREW respond in kind!

The Game is Set!!!

Steve said...

...so are we going to have 6:30AM workouts all 5 mornings during the Painstorm week?

Styx said...

What ever it TAKES!!!

blackstone said...

I will offer my services to the highest bidder!

Weather it be morning, noon or night!

Kped said...

Tim you Whore!

blackstone said...

Gotta pay the rent some how!

Kped said...

You better come do it with me Timmy. I'll even give you what we talked about last night.
