Announcement!

Hi Team Backyard,

We appreciate your patience this week since we've been slow posting the WOD on the site.  We are still posting diligently in one way or another (Instagram), but we understand people communicate in different ways based on preference.  For the most part, Instagram, seems to be the clear cut winner in terms of audience, followed by Facebook (We have a private group, FYI, look us up and join), and trailing in dead last is Twitter.  However, the "WOD Blog" for the most part gets the attention of everyone and is read diligently.  Great, we love it.  We are going to utilize this platform to get important info to everyone.

As you have noticed, we are updating our website.  It's still under construction.  A full take down wasn't an option.  You will see changes gradually... for the good we hope.

I want to end this post, with a newsletter of sorts with a couple of tidbits of information:

1. The Open is coming!  Yes it is that time of year for the Open.  Tons of people are wondering what the hell that even is.  Full details will be released in the next couple of days as we gear up for it.  We will build teams once again and the workouts will take place on Friday at 6pm.  It is a fun event and we encourage EVERYONE to participate.  The workout is going to be programmed anyway.  Remember, treat it as an event.  We understand everyone has lives outside of BYCF, and sometimes events pop up on Friday, you can make up the workout on Saturday or Sunday.  The only judging taking place revolves around movement standards, so stop overthinking and start thinking about kicking butt and testing your fitness.  To those that did it last year, that is your competition... YOU!  For the first timers in the group, take a deep breathe and trust the process.  No one that did it last year said, "I regret doing it!"  However, we had a lot of spectators that have been waiting for this, because they sat out.  It's your time to shine.  Bring your friends, let's make this event.  Team t-shirts?  I'm floating this idea, let me know what you guys think.
2. Evening Schedule-  We are looking at adjusting our evening hours based on safety and need.  We have noticed a growing trend where 6:00pm is packed to the brim.  It's great, we love the atmosphere and energy, but we have a duty to look out for everyones safety.  With that, it gets a little dicey at time, although outside is an option, we prefer that the entire class stays inside.  Why?  We want to coach you, we are there to coach you, and being outside of the coaches eye is a disservice to you.

We would like to know your thoughts, as always.  Reach us via email (staff@backyardcrossfit.com), or feel free to talk to us before or after class.  

Thanks,
Saul
