Last Chance WOD for Judges and Athletes

This is from Dawn, our Judging Director:

Hey guys and gals. Just wanted to send out an email prior to our last judging clinic this saturday at CF TNT's REHAB Saturday!

I have to give a big shout out to Rochelle's clients and visitors who have allowed us to get our judging "practice on" and at times, suffer through the difficult and challenging WODs. I am very grateful for the opportunity to mimic what judging will actually be like at the sectionals from slight chaos, heats, transition times, safety measures, athletes of different ranges and calibers, etc. 

This saturday, the first heat will start at 0930 and judges need to be at the gym by 0900 for the WOD ROM standards brief and orientation. Eric and i of course will be at the gym by 0830 setting up the lanes.

Movements you can expect to see this weekend:

1. C2B Pull Ups

2. Wall Balls

3. Hang Power Snatch

4. Thruster

I want to personally thank everyone who has come out and participated and helped out with the clinics. They have all been great learning experiences and a great opportunity to fine-tune things prior to the actual competition. 

If you are interested in performing the WOD this saturday, judges will be able to do the WOD following all the heats and post-clinic wrap-up. So, come prepared to get sweaty if you wanna join in on all the fun!

Registration on Friday, 12 February begins at 4pm at CF TNT. At this point and time you can stop by, pick up your t-shirts, wristband, get oriented to the first WOD set up, and mingle with the sponsors and athletes!

Please let me know if y'all have any questions. I look forward to seeing the judges at this weekend's clinic and everyone next week. It's literally right around the corner!

CrossFit-TNT is Offically OPEN for Business.

 

February 1, has finally arrived and we are open for business at 5:00 am tomorrow morning.  Our Box is not totally completed yet, but the rowers are in the pull up system is up and the bumper plates still work.  Hopefully, the flooring will be in early this week and then it will be installed.  (By the way if anyone call help my great fiance lay the flooring he would appreciate it!!!) 

Also, the office space has not been completed yet, but they are working on it.  The dry wall is up and as each day passes the closer and closer we get to having showers and restrooms.  But don't worry about the bathroom situation.  I would like to give a SHOUT-OUT to Jeff over at the Batter's Box who has been letting us use his restroom when needed.

Can't wait to see you all there, and remember Train-Learn- Achieve.   

We have one side of our box finished!

 

With many long hours and a great Fiance`, Assistant Manager, Front desk Manager and all those who have put in hard work, CF TNT is finally starting to shine through (once we can keep the floors clean)

We have already signed up over 70 members and we haven't even opened yet!! This is an amazing feeling to know that the love and passion of what I have is contagious to all of those joining CF TNT.  Sunday is the last day to get your special rate for memberships here at TNT.  Get it now!

Check out our 36ft pull up bar system and 4 new rowers to add to the family of 2 rowers. Jeff carefully made wall ball targets and painted them. 10ft high to be exact! 

Now we have over 75ft of white board! We can mark up as much as we want all over the wall with PR's!

 

Our flags and walls and bathroom stalls

We are almost complete with the paint in both the front area and our box area. We also hung the American Flag, MO state Flag and We support our troops Flag. The Air Force and our local Fire department are bringing in flags for us as well. If you are in the Military or would like us to have your flag hanging at our box, please feel free to bring us in one and we will hang it. 

Memberships are looking good! Remember, come in before Monday to get your membership starting as low as $19.99 a month.

  

 

The Framing is up...

It is about time to see some movement in the front area of our new box! The framers were in today working at getting the framing up. Tomorrow the electrician will be in to wire. We are looking at a one week set back in getting the restrooms and showers up. I am going to get our temporary occupancy permit on Monday so it wont delay our opening day. 

Here you see the mens and women's bathroom and showers!!! I picked out the color of the interior, exterior color, tile, baseboard and counter tops. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Boxes, Boxes, and more Boxes

We are not joking around when we build our own equipment here at TNT. Well, ok.... Jeff and his father did all the hard work. They both got to spend hours of father/son time sawing, sanding,screwing and gluing 24 boxes!!! The great thing about these 20 inch boxes are that we made 4 inch risers (learned this from FRCF) for each of them to make 24, 24 inch boxes!!!

We are almost finished painting them black and branding TNT!

WE MOVED!!!!!

You can say we moved, or we all got laid off from NTF, so we had to move!!! Today was Sarah, Diane and myself (Rochelle's) last day from NTF. Our expected move in date to our new place is February 1st, but it looks like we jumped the gun and had no time at all to move our equipment, and get ready for our regularly scheduled Group training for Thursday. 

You ask how this is all happening? Well with a great staff and wonderful team members, we were able to zip right through and make do with what we have right now. By February 1st, our doors will be open to the public, and everyone can enjoy CF TNT. Until then, we are only holding our CF group training, one on ones and Rehab Saturday. 

If you purchase your membership with CF TNT before February 1st, we will waive your enrollment fee!! If you are a current member of NTF, we will grandfather you in to a special rate. Please email Diane at diane@crossfit-tnt.com for more information. If you work for a corporate office, please contact Diane as well, and we will set your company up on a special Corporate account. 

More information to follow shortly. Thanks for your patience throughout this whole unexpected mess. 

Moving to a new BOX!!!!

 

You want showers?  Daycare (KidzFit Area)? A lounge area to eat your food and hang out after a WOD? A massage before or after you work out? How about more room to work out? More equipment to be a better athlete? 

Believe it or not, you are going to get it! I just signed a lease for a 7,200 sq box! Now TNT can hold certs, competitions and have room to just about anything.

Right now we are in the middle of getting the bathrooms and showers built. As soon as those are finished, CF TNT is moving down the street, right off of New Town Blvd. We will be right next to Pump It Up and the Batters Box which is not even a mile away from New Town!

Our expected move in date is February 1st, but the construction guys are moving really fast to get us in before the New Year!

(This is the front part of the gym where the bathrooms, showers, daycare, lounge area, front desk, massage therapist will be)
 

 

TNT needs your help with a few things...... If you know of anyone who would like to invest in TNT, please contact me right away as we have a few options available for them. If anyone knows where we can get a discount on paint, kids toys, lockers, desks, refrigerator, tables, a big TV and anything that will help get our new gym up and going, please contact me!!!!!

I am looking for: 
Licensed day care providers
Massage therapists
Personal Trainers
New Members

I am going to go to Craigslist for a lot of this, but I will take all the help that I can get. I really appreciate all the support, encouragement and help that every single one of you have given to Jeff and myself. If we all put our heads together, the success of TNT will be amazing!

(This is the work out area. This is only the front half, looking at it if you were going back into the front area. No electricity yet, so pics are dark)

 

Remember, this new gym is for you and those out there who want to be able to come work out  before work or on your lunch break and shower. For those stay at home mothers, or parents who need a place to take your children while you can work out. All comments and suggestions are appreciated! Yay!!
