EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY.

Zach getting things moving on his baseline!

You’ve all probably experienced walking into the gym as of late and seeing a new face or two.  2010 has seen a tremendous growth in our little community here at CPC and Eric and I couldn’t be happier that the vast majority of people joining us are referrals from all of you, our existing members.  Keeping in the spirit of one of our main motto’s here at CPC “Everybody love everybody, especially Justin” – please make a point of introducing yourself to anyone that you may not recognize.  For you seasoned CPC’ers, please also take the time to lend a hand if someone doesn’t know where a piece of equipment lives or is having difficulty spelling the word a-w-e-s-o-m-e in their journals. 
I remember well what it was like to be a nervous new student at CFLA and how good it felt when people took the time to show me the ropes.  Let’s all make sure that our new members feel welcome. 

Today’s Workout:
For Time:
1000 M Row
30 Ring Dips
30 Burpees
30 Pullups

Thank you Traver, Eric! I can tell... this is going to be a great place to get and STAY healthy! Cheers!

Regarding the love, I too am very glad I found CPC and all of you (even if I still have a love/hate/fear relationship with the actual workouts). The community is indeed awesome! Regarding April 18, it works for me. As it's after April 14, I presume grain-based beverages are OK? And lots of high fructose corn syrup-based foods? (just kidding on the latter...)

Such great posts!! Welcome new people :) It's fun to watch the CPC Community grow because it is such an amazing group of people. Nothing like adding more awesome-o to the awesomness. 18th... I'm down!

Wait, I think there is the lifting seminar on the 18th that some people are going to be at? Traver or Eric- is that right? Should we still hold this on the 18th or move to a diff weekend? ATrain- I'm still down to beach party with you on the 18th though :)

Tuuuuuuuuuuuuubbs!!! Well NOW it's a party!!! Heeheehee! KG and Hogans, you gals are so poetic today. It's lovely! KJ, noon sounds perfect! I'll bring some Sweet Cheeks cooking!!!!!!!

So I am guessing there is no lifting seminar on the 18th then... I am in.... I love my CPC crew... so glad to be a part of the family, the community, the awesomeness that is the CPC crew... you know I have visited other boxes on vacation and although I always love the CF experience it is not the same without Traver and/or Eric pushing me and reminding me I can do it Rx, Baker teasing me to loose the band, Fielding finishing before the timer has even started, Brent and Justin bantering back and forth, KJ cusing, Kate grunting and doing seal movements on the ground, Su crushing pullups, Zach lifting the rower off the ground when he pulls, Sara blasting through double unders, Migs finishing his WOD only to encourage and help other people.... I could go on for days... I love CPC!

Oh, this sounds like too much awesomeness to miss! I was thinking of coming up for a CPC workout and paddle soon anyway. A-train--want to carpool? I can bring an extra board if others want to try paddleboarding. :-)

We can BBQ at Ledbetter Beach? They have BBQ's, tables to put the food on, AND a beach to lay out at. I will bring a half eaten frisbe that Gator may let us borrow to play with. 4/18, 12pm @ Ledbetter, BYOB and meat to BBQ?

I vote for the 18th as well!! Sorry Eric but when girls hear party...adult beverages... and beach.... they just start planning....nothing to do with you... it's genetically programmed into our DNA!!! So this weekend we can test out party ideas...drinks....etc and on the 18th we can do it all over again and share the LOVE! Kate: that was a perfect! AWESOME (see Traver I can spell it!!)

That was beautiful Katie G. Eric I don't know that you ever had control to begin with. These things exist on a realm beyond comprehension.

Well, apparently TB and I have lost complete control of this and we're totally cool with that. We're both free on the 18th, so whatever is planned we'll be there for. This is going to be good...

Woot! Awesome to be here. Training has never been so rewarding or enriching. I love you all! New people in the gym are in great hands, I think all of us who have been here for six plus months will agree that it's touching to actually see progress. The Su's, A-trains, jaala's, ambers and cil's of the world are lighting a fire under our asses! Kj, hogans, Lisa: it has been an honor chasing you down And chasing time, rounds and reps with you. And that's just SOME of the ladies! All of you inspire me. G, alex, Sarah, Natalie, Carrie not to mention the amazing men of CPC- We are so lucky. I just keep thinking how Traver and Eric created this crossfit gym. what resonates with me is the incredible amount of vision it takes to create a community, and an empowering conversation like the one we have here. As I write this documentary about natural medicine and sustainable lifestyles, I draw from the miracles and impossible goals I have reached here, and I use the gym as a space to be real with myself, To heal, to practice being part of a harmonious community and it is a place where part of my dream life has showed up. Thank you, cpc. Let's celebrate how awesome we are with a dip in the adult sized blow up kiddie pool this weekend, no?

Oh! KJ! We're thinking alike. So I guess we can have our gathering on April 18th together. Since obviously everyone elses schedules revolve around ours! ; ) Heeheeheh!

Sounds like a rough life up there in SB for you guys. Can't hurt to ask, so may I put in a request for a CPC gathering on the wonderful Sunday of April 18th? That is the Sunday after my school trimester is over and before my 2 weeks of graduation exam study cram sesion begins! It's been a while, I would love to socialize with you all again, seasoned and newbies. I miss ya : )

I vote Sunday, April 18th or Sat/Sun April 24/25. Or Sat, May 8th There, now you all have my availability schedule :)

I second the motion for another CPC gathering, consisting of Adult beverages, beer pong and BBQ on a beach day. If that doesn't assist in creating some love then I don't know what will.

I remember being totally freaked out to workout with the 5:30 pm crew, which was the biggest class at that time... I would go at 12pm and for a while was the only one... and was fine with that b/c I was scared of everyone- haha. After I went to my first 5:30 class I realized it was WAAAYYY more fun working out with a group. I fell in love with Su, cause she totally rocks :) and the group classes. Welcome new people, can't wait to meet all of you!

Is it my imagination or is Zach getting skinnier by the week? I always do my best to meet the newbies, give them pointers, tell them not to be nervous, and make them feel at home. It can be intimidating as hell to walk into any CF box, until you realize that everyone is struggling as hard as you are to get through the WOD. Traver/Eric - Perhaps it is time for another CPC gathering so we can all get to know each other over refreshing adult beverages?

Zach has the eye of the tiger here! Great shot!! Much love to all my CPC'ers... I will try to pay it forward with much love and encouragement to you all new and old (members not age lol). After all that encouragement and positive energy is what keeps me looking forward to getting my butt kicked every day I walk through those doors. AWESOME!!

I to remember struggling to spell that, oh so crucial word that every CPC student must know and love, AWESOME! Indeed the explosion of growth we've seen so early in this year has been great and I look forward to even more growth as CPC becomes known for being as awesome as it is.
