1st Annual Reebok CrossFit 306 Christmas Gala

As Halloween ends, I guess it is time to move on to the next holiday....Christmas;).  December 01st marks our 1 year anniversary at 306...what a year it has been.  We usually celebrate holidays with some epic WODs, but we decided we wanted to add something special this year.  We will be having a 'gala' night at the Saskatoon Club.  Award winning chef, Anthony McCarthy is putting together an amazing menu for us and it gives us a great opportunity to come together in something other than our spandex;).  More details will be coming, but pencil us in for the 22nd...I know holiday calendars fill up quickly.  Looking forward to celebrating with you!

Halloween Spooktacular!

Tomorrow Saturday the 27th is our Spooktacular event.  No regular classes are schedule.  We open at 10:30, WOD in costume at 11:00, come and enjoy the festivities!

Spooktacular Halloween Party at 306

2012 SWEAT RX CHAMPIONSHIPS

CANADA, ON - June 1,2,3, 2012. CrossFit Affiliates from across Canada will be hosting the ‘2012 Sweat RX Championships’ qualifiers which will culminate in the finals to be held Aug 17- 18, 2012 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. The 2012 Sweat RX Championships will bring the East and West together for the first time in a 2 series “ Epic Throw Down” for 3 divisions: “ Best of the Best” individual; Affiliate Throw Down; Masters Cup. Participating athletes from across Canada will test their fitness over the same weekend doing the same workouts to qualify for the finals. This event is open to ALL levels with Scaled and RX’d divisions for both men and women in all 3 categories. Competitors will battle in multiple strength and skill tests that will push the limits of human ability beyond most people’s imagination.

Go head to head with the best CrossFitters in Canada in the individual “ Best of the Best” competition . Who will be crowned the Best CrossFitter in Canada? Who will win the $5000 1st place cash prize? Affiliate teams will heed the call to “Rep your Box"! Champions and amateurs alike will come to test their power in the “Affiliate Throw Down” .Which Affiliate will walk away with the title and the Grand prize of a trip for 6 to the 2013 CrossFit Games in Aromas, CA (see www.crossfitgames.com).

Not to be out done by the young bucks, Masters athletes 40+ will step up to prove their fitness in the “Masters Cup’. The top masters athletes left standing on the podium at the finals will win an undisclosed Grand prize and bragging rights as the fittest Masters athlete in Canada. Jacques Ambroise, owner of CrossFit Montreal, can’t wait. “This event is going to bring out the best in the Canadian Crossfit community,” he says. “The West and the East coming together to determine the best Canadian athletes and teams is really something to look forward to!” Nate Beveridge, representing the Vancouver-area affiliate, notes that the event “is going to be a huge boost to the CrossFit community in Canada. The sport of CrossFit is growing rapidly and the amazing development of the community continues to be like no other. This event will really help to bring CrossFit some great exposure here in Canada, and Hybrid Athletics is excited to be a part of it.” Jason Cain of Reebok CrossFit 306. “This will further the sport of CrossFit and ensure that Canadian CrossFitters have more opportunities to develop their competition skills.” CrossFit Colosseum owner Paul McIntyre couldn’t agree more, and also sees events like Sweat RX as important for the sustainability of the sport. “[These] competitions accomplish several things; they foster the growth of the sport of CrossFit, which in turn will develop a base of athletes that will aspire to compete.” CrossFit Kinetics’ Jim Hardy adds that besides the draw of financial gain and glory, the event has natural appeal for the pure fun of getting affiliates and athletes together to promote the sport, and also makes it easy for newbies who’ve never set foot inside a box to see what CrossFit is all about. “I think the event is going to bring the boxes together from around the region for a great time and great competition—something that’s been missing around here since the Open format was introduced. But also it’s going to help bring awareness to the sport of CrossFit and to those who may not otherwise see it.”

This event is limited to the first 30 teams RX’d and Scaled and 30 male and Female Masters athletes in each of the 5 regions. The invididual “Best of the Best” qualifiers will be done as an online Opens’ style qualifier. Three workouts will be released and they must be completed on video and sent in via video link or you must have your time validated at your box. The total scores for the workouts will determine the seeding and the Top 50 men and 50 women will qualify to compete at the finals .The first workouts will be released June 1, the top 5 male and female placing from Canada West and East Regional’s will receive an automatic invite to compete in the finals and will not have to qualify.

306 Community B-B-Q

We are almost done with the Open with 12.4 finishing up this weekend.  It has been really fun over the past few weeks to have everyone come together and tackle the Open together.  In true 306 fashion, everyone cheered each other on and encouraged each other to leave nothing on the table.  We figured that we should take the time to celebrate together as well.  After we finish the WOD 12.5 on Saturday, March 24th, we'd like to have a B-B-Q at the gym.  Everyone is welcome - it doesn't matter if you participated in the Open or not.  It is a great chance for us to relax, unwind and enjoy each other's company over some food and drink rather than loud music and pools of sweat;).  Bring your own beef and beer and we'll have some salads and veggie trays set out.  See you there!
