WE ARE HAPPY TO OPEN REGISTRATION FOR THE 6th GETEASTIEFIT THROWDOWN! The GetEastieFit Throwdown is our celebration of all of your fitness accomplishments, new personal records and all the great moments from last year. It is also the anniversary of the company which was founded September 2013. Registration information: Like always, we want to encourage all athletes to participate. We have two categories for you to choose according to your strength and skill level. Just follow the standards provided to choose your category. Talk to Coach Javy if you have questions. Registration fee is $50 and the last day to register is March 24th. Go to the Zen Planner app and register for the Throwdown by going to April 4th on the calendar. Volunteers: We love volunteers. They allow us to run the event smoothly, focus on the task at hand and provide an excellent experience for the athletes. Follow this link to register. Approximate Timeline for the competition: 7:00am – Athletes’ registration 7:30am – Athletes’ briefing 8:00a (approximately) – Event 1 will start as soon as the athletes’ briefing is over. So you need to do your mobility and movement prep before the briefing is over. 1:00p (approximately) – The Final Event will start and soon after we can start the party. After party notes: Everyone is invited. Bring your favorite dish, food to grill or beverage to share. If you are bringing any dishes for the potluck, please set them at the table. If they need to stay cold please bring a cooler because we do not have a fridge. If you do not have a cooler, we will have coolers with ice ready for you. Please keep your stuff (knee bands, wrist wraps, etc…) organized. There will be a lot of athletes, all the coaches and spectators at the box at once. So I encourage you to bring a gym bag to keep your stuff organized. We want to prevent tripping hazards and delays on the competition. Bring food and supplements to prepare or recover in between events. Be ready to work hard, laugh a lot and have a good time.
Honestly, I was thinking it was going to be like the other CrossFit boxes I had been to before CJP. I thought I wasn’t going to last and that my first class was going to be a try out. I was surprised by how much commitment and effort the coaches put into each of us to make us better, a month try out turned out to be 3 years of continuous work. What started as a couple days a week turned out to be a life time commitment.
I was brought to CrossFit because of the functionality it provides for every challenge life versus just bodybuilding or power lifting. CrossFit forces you to break through mental barriers and past what you thought you physical or mental limit was.
We have something at CJP that I see and appreciate at every CrossFit gym I’ve ever vistied: a community of capable, caring judges and athletes of all shapes and sizes united under one goal of helping each other to get as fit as possible. That was my expectation when I showed up here on Day One (June 2015), and that perception hasn’t changed at all in the four years since.
