Good morning everyone. I hope you are having a beautiful restful Sunday. Because on Monday you have work to get done. When you arrive on Monday you will have your own Training Log Book. There are places for each of your lifts and your bench mark workouts as well as places for notes. There is a basic Nutrition outline and a set of agreements between us and you. In the agreements I have outlined the components of what goes into making you benefit from CrossFit. We have a set of jobs and you have a set of jobs. Take a look at this with your trainer this week. Ask questions. Towards the end of the log book is a place for you to set smaller, personal goals. Talk these over with your trainer, get a specific approach down on paper and then check in on it in two weeks. Your goals may be very specific: add 5lbs to your shoulder press. They may be more foundational: get here three times a week, every week OR quit eating junk. They may be more mental: spend at least 15min stretching at the end of your workout OR really and truly put in enough effort where you feel ready to collapse. You all are now the “old pros” at CrossFit Works and as you meet the new crew who are moving through their Fundamentals right now, you will be able to really provide them insight on this whole process. This is your CrossFit Affiliate, this is your wellness and fitness experience. It should be a collaborative effort. The LogBooks should be an excellent tool for you and for us!
Sounds like an awesome idea. I can’t wait!
I’m excited to have a way to document my progress. thx for all you trainers do for us!
Thanks to everyone who helped to make the logs. They’re great!
I love my training log as well. I especially like the chart for eating levels, it helps me feel like I am doing a pretty darn good job as I am way more over on the right side of the chart than on the fitness level chart

Thank you all for your encouraging words. Thank you to all for your patience with me, for believing that I can always do more than I ever thought was possible of me. Most of all I am truly thankful and bless for having Brenda in my life she gives me a swift kick in the butt when needed… For like a month before I started just Paleo, she kept inviting me kept telling me how wonderful crossfit and its people are and what a difference it has made for her. I also saw how hard it was for her, how she would get nasty blisters on her hands (now I know that they are badges of honor and hard work). It took a lot of prodding but here I am. This is not a fad for me. It is not a quick fix. As I told Brenda..”It was not a little magic pill that got me to where I am. So a magic pill is not going to get me to where I want to be.” It is a total life change. I thank you all for everything.
Sarah — you’ve got an awesome attitude and, I might add, excellent taste in music. Thanks for joining up and bringing the good tunes!! Trainers — thanks for the log books!! I have horrible memory for all those numbers, so this will make it much easier to set some goals.
