CrossFit South Bend

I want to thank everyone who took the time to fill out our Goal Questionnaire form --we had 50 responses! Now, you’re probably wondering what we’re going to do with all the information.Reviewing all of the responses are going to help us with a lot of things: 

1. Get a better understanding of What You Are Training For: A lot of your goals have probably changed since you started. Maybe you didn’t have goals to start out with or maybe we weren’t aware of all the goals you had. Now we will have a better understanding of some driving factors in you being here. 2. See what the common goals are: Looking to see what trends there are in the goals will help us better understand how we can make small changes to our daily programming. If an overwhelming amount of people have Handstand Push Ups on their goal list, we can start throwing in specific work for that skill. 3. Possible additional services: One of the questions asked, "Are there any services you would like to see offered that would pertain to your goals?” Reviewing the responses to this question will help us see if there is anything we currently aren't doing that an overwhelming amount of you want. 

It is going to take us awhile to look over all of the data and organize it into an easy digestible fashion -- there is a lot! After we have looked over everything, we will be sure to do another post and share the data with you.

Congratulations to Amy VanDyck moving on to Masters Regionals Events - she placed in the top 200 in her age division in the WORLD! What does this mean? Four events will be released at 5 p.m. PT, Thursday, April 17 on Games.CrossFit.com. After they are released, we will decide what days and times Amy and a few others will be performing those wods over the course of the 5 days. Once it gets closer we will release the times Amy will be performing the wods if anyone would like to come out and spectate! In 2014, CrossFit introduced the first-ever Masters Qualifier. The top 200 masters athletes each age division in the world—40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59 and 60-plus—will have from Thursday, April 17 to Monday, April 21 to complete four events. Events may be completed in any order. All four event scores must be submitted no later than 5 p.m. PT on April 21. Masters athletes will have five scores recorded to determine the top 20 in each age division. The first of five scores for each masters athlete will be their final Open ranking. The other four scores are the final rankings of each event from the Masters Qualifier. Athletes may be asked to submit video of one of the four events. Masters athletes are encouraged to film each of the four Masters Qualifier events. The 20 athletes with the fewest points at the end of the Qualifier will receive an invitation to compete at the CrossFit Games in Carson, Calif.
