    The lost and found box is overflowing and we need to do something about it.  If you are missing any gear, please check the lost and found.  If items are not claimed by the end of next Friday, we are going to donate them to goodwill.

Sprint Conditioning Addition on Thursdays

    Our programming at CFG is always evolving and we are always looking to enhance and make it even better.  With that said, we will be adding in some type of sprint training on Thursday in addition to the gymnastics work.  You all know I push sprinting as one of the best, if not thee best, form of conditioning.  Preferably, it would be up a hill, but all in all, sprinting in some form is #1 in my book.  We don't do enough of it so it will be done on Thursdays now.  Thank you.

Revamping the goal board

    It is time to erase the goal board and start with a clean slate.  We have a lot (as you may have noticed) more athletes at CFG since we moved and I would like for anyone who would like to place some goals on the board to please feel free.  It will be completely erased tomorrow, Thursday, so start thinking of some goals for 2012.  Of course, your coaches are here to help you with your goal setting, so don't be shy to ask us.  Thank you.

10 reasons why women should stay away from lifting weights (I love sarcastic articles)

1. You might break a nail.

2. You could even bruise a male ego or two.

3. You’ll eat properly and still be able to lose fat. Work of the devil!

4. You’ll look more like an athlete and less like a runway model. Skeletal is sexy, right?

5. You’ll be able to lift heavy things without asking a man for help, thus upsetting the balance of the universe.
