In CrossFit, this means "Thank you coach for a great workout". Trust me, I get it all the time.
A lot of you have expressed interest in getting your CrossFit level 1 certification and starting the path to becoming a coach. The level 1 takes you through some of the basic CrossFit movements and shows you different methods to teach them. The instructors teach you some of the philosophies of CrossFit and how to properly convey the teachings to your athletes. I would recommend getting the certification to anyone who is serious about becoming a coach, partly because it creates consistency in coaching and partly because you will see how committed you are to getting it (cost is about $1000).

Fortunately the path to becoming a coach can start way before the level 1 cert and can be much cheaper. First you need to subscribe to the CrossFit Journal which has boatloads of information on anything from correcting a squat to becoming an affiliate owner to coaching the elderly. If you find that information boring and mundane, then coaching probably isn’t for you. Becoming a good coach means you have to posses the desire to constantly learn.

Today at 6PM we will be holding an informal intro to coaching where we will be answering questions and discussing the role of the coach at CFSB. If there is an interest, we will continue the classes every Thursday at 6PM to cover topics like programming, coaching techniques, prehab, safety, common challenges, motivation and expectations as coaches in more detail. Anyone is welcome to attend. Our intent is to educate our athletes and potential coaches to help better the overall quality of coaching at CFSB. If you’re not interested in becoming a coach, but are curious about why we do the things we do, you should come and listen in.
I would like to congratulate Chris and Scarlett for signing up for their level 1 certification at the end of July. We are all excited to get them coaching classes and potentially starting up new programs. Remy and I will also be attending a gymnastics certification this weekend and should come back with all kinds of fun new stuff for you guys to do.

Who’s up for catching the end of the game tonight after Forrest’s Training session?
I’m there with bells on
Sean, I just glanced at your comment and misread it as “I’m there with balls on”.
*snicker* I’m SUCH a grown up sometimes.
Funny Scarlett, I saw balls too, then I saw bells in your post. Worst part is I thought it made sense. Guess I’m a 13 year old too.
sounds like a cool session! Wish I could have been there!… Go Celtics!
