NEWS & REMINDERS
Summer Saturday Schedule
Our Summer Saturday Schedule remains in place with classes at 7am & 8:30am. If the need arises to go back to a regular Saturday schedule, then we will announce it on Zenplanner. Happy August!
Sign Up In Advance for Classes
Don’t forget to please sign up for classes early. Early sign-ups help tremendously in allowing our coaches to plan accordingly and make your experience amazing, each and every time.
For our typically smaller classes, please remember that classes can be canceled due to a lack of sign ups. Also remember that our early morning classes will cancel if people are not signed up the evening before.
Clean Habits Build Strong Values
Friendly reminder for everyone to do their part to keep the gym tidy and clean. There are several wipe containers throughout the gym, so please be sure to wipe down equipment and put it back in its place when done. Parents, thank you for doing your part in leaving the club room tidy and clean for the next set of kids. Thank you to all for your efforts in building strong values through clean habits!
Run Club
Join the Run Club every Tuesday at 6pm at Sailfish. You don’t need to be an expert runner! Everyone goes at their own pace down a similar route from Avenue A to the bridge and back. It is a choose your own adventure run/walk, if you’d like to run all three miles, awesome! If you are just starting and want to walk a mile, great! When you're finished, Run Club meets back at Sailfish to grab a beverage for a discount. There is also a punch system depending on how many visits you can get things like free beer, t-shirts, and more.

PCCF Throwdown

This fantastic local competition at Halpatiokee Park is coming up quickly. Your participation directly supports the Martin County Police Athletic League, making a difference in the lives of young athletes. Let’s have our best CFFP representation yet this year!
Athlete of the Month
Afton Allen
This month’s Athlete of the Month is the quietly fierce and tenacious Afton Allen - a super consistent member of the 9am class - along with her charming little girl, Emery. Despite the hardship of trucking around the pack n’ play and toys, Afton is an extremely committed member of our community who puts her nose down and charges through workouts stealthily. You don’t know that she’s right on your tail on any given workout, until you suddenly see her pass right by you. Afton, you are an inspiration to all members, and in particular, first-time mothers adjusting to their new roles in life all the while, working to maintain their identity and sense of self. Keep it up!!
*Each month we spotlight a CFFP athlete who stands out. We are always looking for that athlete that shows up, gives their best, and then gives more. These athletes are ready to learn, ready to work, support their fellow classmates, and encourage others to reach their goals. If you have someone in mind, please email your suggestions to info@ crossfitfortpierce.com or you can DM our instagram page. Please make sure to share why you think this athlete is deserving.

FITNESS CHALLENGE
AUGUST | PUSH-UPS (ACCUMULATION)
This month’s fitness challenge is to see how many push-ups you can accumulate in one month. This movement is the nemesis of many athletes, so we think this will be a good point of motivation to put some work into this essential body weight movement and get stronger in the meantime. If you’re only able to do them from your knees, then challenge yourself to try and conquer a few standard push-ups by the end of the month. If you’re already proficient, then take this opportunity to get stronger and push your capacity. Before you know it, you’ll be crushing the 200 push-ups in Murph with no problem!
Here are some good video links to help you master your technique no matter what stage of progression you’re at.
LAST MONTH’S FITNESS CHALLENGE RESULTS
In July, we challenged ourselves to see how many unbroken kipping pull-ups we could string. Check out results below!
