CrossFit Games, Dynamix T-shirts, parking updates, & much more!

Greetings Dynamix Family,

Coming in hot from The CrossFit Games, which has been going since Wednesday already. If you’ve never been, it’s been a bonafide festival of cute butts and chiseled abs. It’s also worth noting that these athletes seem to be getting more beastly, setting ever higher standards for the world to marvel at. One thing’s for sure, there just isn’t a better test of a professional athlete’s fitness than at the CrossFit Games. Watch all the action live on YouTube! 

Welcome to our newest members, Dimitris Tolios, Patrick Whalen, Mary Georgescu, and Anastasia Cunningham, and a big welcome back to Lorena Coltescu, William Berkofsky, and Nikola Rackovic!! Congratulations, you’ve made one of the best and most painful decisions of your life. Deal with it (like the rest of us nutjobs 🤪).

Some important updates at the box:

• We have a new Dynamix t-shirt design! Kudos to Katie and Hugo for the design. Many of you have signed up already at the front desk. If you can’t make it to the box, please email us your size and t-shirt/tank preference at crossfitdynamix@gmail.com by this Sunday.
• We’re getting new wall balls in! 20’s have come in first and the 14’s will be in a few weeks. We’re continuously working towards getting new equipment and maintaining/tuning what we have.
• We have two new dumbbell trees. Kindly place dumbbells back in order of weight (10-12-15-20-25, top to bottom). Danke!
• The vending machine is on its way out and will be replaced with a cold filtered water station so athletes can refill and chill at will. 🧊💧
• Officially, there will no longer be Open Gym hours from 2-4pm on weekdays but we will open back up at 4pm for Open Gym. It just makes it easier on management/staff. But we’re always here for your fitness so if you want to train, please get in touch with one of the coaches and we will gladly accommodate you!
• Please do not park in the Lidl parking lot behind the box. Cars are getting towed back there and we’d hate for that to be one of you!

Two points on cleanliness (we take this seriously):

• Please remember to clean up well after your WOD. There’s a new health threat out there you need to pay attention to, Monkeypox (officially a public health emergency), and we all need to do our part to ensure a clean and safe working/playing space.
• Please do not handle the plates with handfuls of chalk on your hands. It leaves white handprints on the plates and they’re difficult to clean. 

Happiest of Happy Days to members born in August! It’s a short list. Maybe November’s not the most popular month to get it on? 🤔

• 8/2 – Michael De Souza
• 8/7 – Lorena Coltescu
• 8/7 – Wallace Reid
• 8/7 – Marissa Moore
• 8/11 – Julia Spellman
• 8/18 – Faye Lambrianidis
• 8/18 – Mick Cunningham
• 8/23 – George Mera

Thanks all for a fabulous summer! Let’s keep the good times going. And when in doubt, live fast and lift heavy (also a great team name at the Games 😂).

Team Dynamix

PS… David here, coming to you live from the Madison, WI, as I’m volunteering for my 4th CrossFit Games, this time, finally making it onto the Media Team where we produce the Miles to Madison series and the CrossFit documentaries. As a CrossFit-obsessed filmmaker, I’ve been trying to get on this team for five years and now I’m finally here. I can say that I’ve definitely paid my dues so getting this position was especially sweet. If you’ve never volunteered before, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience–I highly recommend you apply next year. Let me know and I can give a great referral!
