Important Festivus Update - Please Read


Hello Everyone,

First off, we are thrilled to be a part of the Festivus Games and excited to see each of you in action!

Now for the big news...As some of you may or may not know CrossFit Cimmeria in Gresham is hosting a Festivus event on the 18th as well. In an effort to provide all the athletes from both locations the best experience possible, we have decided to combine our Festivus events. The teams at CrossFit Cimmeria and BCF CrossFit are thrilled to be offering this to all the athletes and we believe it's going to create a phenomenal atmosphere for everyone. With that said, one of the event locations has to be moved so we decided that this year we will be traveling to CrossFit Cimmeria (Gresham) and next year they will be traveling to us.

Outside of the location, nothing else will change. Check-in will begin at 8:00am with the event starting at 9:00am!

We will be encouraging athletes from BCF CrossFit to meet at our box at 7:15am and we will carpool over as a team. All of our trainers will be there as coaches and helping with the event. We will be providing judges as well. Outside of more athletes and the location nothing else will be changing. Any athletes that aren't part of BCF are more then welcome to travel with us or meet us at the new event location. From our box, we are expecting a 30-45 minute commute. If for some reason this just will not work for you, please contact us.

Any questions concerning this event will still go through myself or our BCF Staff.

Super Excited To See All Of You Compete!

Best,

Trevor

Hey Guys,

First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to so many of our members who have been a vital part of this year's spring updates. We have been working extremely hard to provide our BCF family a place they can be proud of and an awesome environment for all of us to train! Just to give everyone an idea of the team effort it took to pull this off and so you know who to thank for what when you are enjoying so many of our new features...Barbell Rack System (Buster & Tessa), New Plyo Boxes (Scott & Susan), Sound System (Juan & Alice/Coming Soon), Wall Ball Targets (Bob & Aimee/Coming Soon), Platforms (Bethany, Jim, Erika), Wall Ball Rack & Counter/locker (Exline), Trim, Paint, Staining, Bumper Plate Racks, hooks, bins. (Max & Exline).

We would like to put the final touches on everything this Saturday after the 9:00am class. If you have an hour or two to spare and would like to have a couple laughs and help polish things off please feel free to stop by. We will be staining the plyo boxes, staining & mounting the remaining 2 platforms, painting beams and posts, staining the kids zone and touch up. Many hands make for light work and we are so excited to see this puppy all finished up!

Finally...Thank you to each and every BCF member for making this possible! Together we have built a CrossFit Community to be proud of!

Best,

Exline
