04/26/2008 Class Additions and Schedule Changes!!!!
We are making some upgrades for your pleasure here at CrossFit Oahu. Here is the list of the changes and we will further explain each one below.
1. We are adding more class times. (Woe to the days of 30+ 10:00am Saturday classes in the photo above.)
2. We are adding Strength and Skills classes.
3. We are having all new members attend Elements Classes.
We are adding classes to spread out the number of peeps in each class (also to help with parking until we move). We would like to have about 10-12 people at the most in a class in order to convey the info we want to share with you. I guess I have been doing my job and more people are training here, so opening more classes is the right thing for you. We are phasing in more classes next week, but we also want to hear what times you want to train. We can also change/add classes if there is enough interest. Post in the forum or here what you want.
Here are the new class times. Basically, we added a third night class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and we added two more classes on Saturday. Let us know what you think of the new schedule.
We are also adding “Strength and Skills” classes to our line up. Strength and Skills classes will focus on one lift or skill (Front squat, Press, Handstand, etc.) that will be explained in depth. Following that training will be some light conditioning (1/2 to 1/4 CF work out). We have been testing this format in Cheryl’s Tuesday and Thursday classes and have gotten great results and feedback. These classes will be a change of pace from CrossFit classes and will allow you to hone your skills, increase your knowledge, and improve your lifts. If you have been out for a awhile, these would be a great chance to work back in here at CrossFit Oahu. If you are sore from a CrossFit workout S+S would be a great place to work off the soreness without worrying about a full CF workout. S+S represents how the coaches here at CrossFit Oahu train between the CrossFit WODs. Also, after new members have completed the elements we will suggest they attend the S+S classes. Our goal in doing this is to enable everyone to feel confident in the CrossFit classes. So tell your friends!
The final change is that everyone that is signing up as a new member here will have to complete three one-hour personal training CrossFit Elements sessions. These sessions will be scaled to their abilities. These will serve as the on-ramp to the fitness freeway. If someone is untrained in what we do or nervous about jumping into a CrossFit class, the Elements training sessions will give them the basic skills and knowledge necessary to continue on their fitness journey. If someone is coming to CrossFit Oahu for the first time, but has been doing some training before we will teach them them the skills they need to get into the fast lane (Muscle ups, Freestanding Handstand push ups, kettlebell juggling, etc.). We have had everyone from Grandmothers to Military Special Operations Forces go through the elements classes with great results. We will be updating our elements page here tomorrow.
Let us know about what you think of the changes here and please ask us any questions you might have on the forum or in person.

Wowi~This pic looks like a beast burrowing SAVAGEFEST. Love it! I appreciate all your hard work and focus on making our Crossfit rock the island. Last time I worked out with Remi, he apologized for being in front of me while doing squats. He mumbled something about being bloated or broccoli…or something.

I love that you are adding more night classes! But I know that there are several of us who struggle to make it to class at 6:00 pm because of work, where we live, and traffic. I would promise to come more often if I could only make it. 7:00 would be ideal, but even a 6:30 would be so much more helpful. Lina, Will and I would be the first ones at a later class. Thanks!!

Maybe shift the S&S to 5:30pm and the 6pm CF to 6:30pm.

A Monday, Wednesday, and Friday class at 5pm would be GREAT!
There could be a class every hour starting from 2pm or 3pm and the last class could be at 7pm. I don’t know if that’s too many classes but it’s a suggestion. It seems like that might work for a lot people who are posting.
Then maybe Strength and Skills on Tuesday and Thursday, again by the hour.
5 o’clock classes would rock!

Hehe, talk about makin’ our trainers work hard fo da money!
Comment by Juggins — April 29, 2008 @ 1:47 pm
I am also in favor of a 7pm class!! A Tues/Thurs/Friday 6am classes would be awesome, and a 12 or 2pm Saturday class. Thanks for all your hard work guys!!

I would really like to have the 4:30 classes back because of work schedules! I think the S&S classes are great, but maybe only a few times a week so we can have the option of 4:30 instead of either 4 or 6. Six is too late for some of us. Thanks!
Comment by Angie — April 29, 2008 @ 6:54 pm
I agree with keeping the 430 class, i also like the 5 but not later. 5 is good give plenty warm up time, but to wait until 6 for a class is way too late for some of us
Jill
Anyway thanks for being the best!!!
