You down with 603?

While I was on the road, I received some exciting news from CrossFit HQ. Our CrossFit Affiliate application has been approved! Dallas and I are not yet official - there are quite a few tasks we need to complete before we can open as "CrossFit". However, I am WAY too excited to wait until then to start throwing our stuff out there.

I am pleased to introduce you, in a totally casual and unofficial manner (more like a fist bump than a handshake), to...


The graphic designer in me has been playing around with our business cards and t-shirts, but first we need to work on insurance, registering with the state, creating a web site and a host of other grown-up tasks. I can't start running any official workouts until everything is in place, but in the meantime, if anyone wants to come up to Tilton to sling some kettlebells or go through a WOD with me, just send me an email.

***UPDATE*** This is too f'ing cool not to mention... I've got a pic on CrossFit Prauge today. And while I can't exactly read the post title... you get the basic idea. Anyone care to translate it for me?

Melissa Byers said...

HA! Nice job, McCosh. I've been called worse than a "Sexy Quarter Wench".

Save a Tee with my name on it- as soon as you get an online store.

Or maybe we'll just have to take a road trip to the 603... I've been meaning to get the f-out of the city.

Congrats MB! That's awesome!

-BEE

PS - The only word I can read on the Prague site is 'sexy'- nice work!

Staci said...

Congrats!

Melissa Byers said...

Bee - you are welcome in the 603 any time! Hitch a ride up with my sister, crash with us and let's show these Tilton boys how it is DONE.

Joe Venuti said...

Congrats Byers, that rocks!

I'm definitely in for a tee shirt when you get them made.

But let's keep that between you and me, shall we? I pretty sure I'm only a few Beefy-T's away from my wife organizing an intervention...

Bob Guere said...

Nice MB! Congrats! I think some T-shirt swapping will be in order down the road, your logo rocks. I'm already getting logo and website v2.0 in the works for me. I'm never satisfied.

My affiliate is listed on the main page today! I'm beaming.... well, as much beaming as a stud like me can do!

Nice to know my birthplace has a CrossFit!

Translation:

"Who says CrossFit girls can't be sexy?"

Kevin Daigle said...

Congrats again Melissa.....I'm loving the idea of coming up to the beautiful lakes region (when it gets warm) to a WOD every now and then....Sorry, not much insight today.... as Influenza has taken over my body and forced me into submission. I'll be back soon though :)

Kyle said...

sweet logo, make sure you shamelessly plug your shirts when they become available!!

congrats on the approval!!

Dan said...

Congrats on getting affiliated! I'd definitely be interested in coming up to workout!

Brandon P. Petersen said...

Congrats!!!

Good stuff. I like the design.
hopefully will get up there soon.

Sternum is healing, but i just popped cartilage out of my ribs last night; so i am doing just peachy :-)

Thor! said...

The correct answer is...

"Yeah you know me!!!!"

Anyways, congrats and can't wait to get up there and be on the recieving end of pain this time. And uh, yeah, no more f'in chippers!

I am not fluent in Czech, but I do enjoy translating gibberish into funny captions. I think this says, "Spicy goulash! That sexy CF girl is wearing socks on her arms!"

Melissa Byers said...

That is WAY too funny for you to remain anonymous, Anonymous.

James Barton said...

Best. Logo. Ever.

Patrick Haskell said...

Congratulations on the affiliation, Byers! The logo is looking sharper than ever. Can't wait to see the tee shirts. I'll get up there one of these days - really.

Michael said...

Melissa - Congrats on being "official"! You've always been "certifiable" but now you're "official"... hmmm, is that step up or down?!?!

Congratulations either way and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

Hi Melissa, I'm the one who runs CrossFit Prague :)
Crude translation of the title is "Who says CrossFit girls can't be sexy" :)
As that was the very first thing I got on my mind when I saw your picture for the first time - damn sexy.
