Level I Certification

I just signed up for my Level I certification! I had a heads-up from Gregg Arsenuk that a Level I was coming back to Guerrilla Fitness (CrossFit Montclair, in NJ). It was posted on the Main Site today, and I registered right away. February 7th - 8th, which gives me just about 6 weeks to get my shit together.

Danny Vee recommended that I go someplace new for my Level I - visit an affiliate I've never been to before. But the Guerrilla box is so cool, and I'm already really comfortable there, and I loved hanging out with Gregg, Rhabdo and the rest of their trainers, so I think it's the perfect spot. Plus it gives me a chance to spend some more time after the cert in NYC with my sister, Keith at Virtuosity and Thor, Jack Bauer and Moon (my Brooklyn boys).

This was a great Christmas present from CrossFit, by the way... a free Level I in exchange for doing nothing more than driving around with a CrossFit license plate. Big thank you to Lisa Lugo for helping me with the technicalities. And if anyone else ends up registering for this one, send me an email! I can give you ideas for hotels and other info about the area and their box.

CrossFit, NH style

Merry xmas Melissa.....oh man, not ANOTHER NH freakin' vanity plate....seriously, sometimes I want to choke your entire state haha. At least that's a cool one though. I'd do that for $1,000 too....they sent me a sticker with my t-shirts, but I don't think I'm going to put it on my brand new truck :)

Crossfestivus for the rest of us. In the crossfit airing of grievances do we throw dumbbells at each other?

Merry Christmas either way Byers!!

Melissa Byers said...

Actually, the kettlebell's displaced and compact center of mass makes it a far more effective and efficient tool for throwing. I'm just saying.

Merry Christmas to you all as well!

I assumed you were already L1 certified. Huh. Well, WOO HOO and it's about time, then! That license plate thing is a win-win; what a great idea!

Rayne said...

Um, no training session today? WTF, I'm so disappointed ;-)

Merry Christmas Diesel!

I did the L1 Cert there in November. It was an incredible experience. Be ready for lots of air squats! I mean...LOTS.
