the keys to today!

barely two weeks in and the CFQ box is overflowing with awesomeness!

welcome to all our new members, and a special welcome to our first foundations group!

we are overwhelmed by the dedication and support of everyone, and are excited to see our community grow.  we are also super proud of all the great stuff our members have going on.  everyday we are seeing huge improvements and impressive PR’s.  not to mention we’ve celebrated two special gals birthdays, which included birthday sprints and leotards!  really, what more could we ask for?  the q’crew is all smiles!

we’ve got some really exciting stuff coming up too.  endurance specific training protocols for you super-athletes!  another paleo nights later this month with the lovely cosmopolitan primal girl (details coming soon!)  the official grand opening party…to include some great tunes and non-paleo celebratory cocktails.  you can be certain lady G will be gracing us with her legendary dance moves on both these occasions – guaranteed to be bigger and better than her post-WOD robot and running man!  and if you haven’t noticed, peter has been busting out the moves lately and we’re sure he’s saving his big debut for the grand opening.

you are also going to see a lot of good stuff in the programming over the next few weeks.  our focus and goal is to see you “be better than yesterday.”  your performance improvements are markers of how well we are serving you, and that is key to us! stay tuned for specific strengthening, mobility and stretching programs to help each of you combat your individual “goats.”

the q’crew had a vision of an awesome space, filled with an incredible community working towards athletic excellence.  each of you are making that a reality.

as a huge thank you, we are extending a discounted  april/may membership to our march joiners! we are offering a 2 month membership (april and may) for $125 + tax/month, as a token of our gratitude for all the love we have seen from our members.

the fine print:  this is only available to our members that join in march.  payments can be made by cash or cheque and we ask that you commit to both april and may.

there aren’t enough high-fives in the universe to express how thankful we are to have such an awesome community, and how excited we are to see the awesomeness grow!

Well actually, they were knee socks!

The knee socks were laid out with great care, in hopes that CrossFitters would soon be there!

Weeks of scrubbing, painting, drilling, hammering, more drilling, more hammering, lifting, moving…did I mention drilling? All in preparation for the big day…the opening of CrossFit Quantum.

Saturday marked the official opening of our beloved CFQ box.  We opened the doors and in flowed awesomness!  We were overwhelmed with the amazing turnout and support from everyone.  A great day was had as we reunited with old friends, made new friends, snacked on delicious paleo goodies, and christened the newly laid mats with sweat angels!

It took a lot of hard work to get us here, and we couldn’t have done it without some incredible support.  Some very special thank yous are in order.

To the lovely Sara, there are no words to express our gratitude.  Her artistic skills were max’d out as she designed our killer t-shirts and knee socks, filled our space with incredible photography, laid out the AMAZING wall decal, and tirelessly made phone call after phone call.  In between these feats of greatness, she painted, scrubbed and prepped alongside us.  We truly couldn’t have accomplished all we did without you.

The Great Senior Weir who gave many many hours to Operation Pull Up Bars!  And a mission it was!  A big thank you for your guidance and patience…and for keeping the Q’Crew boys safe!

James and Craig for their expertise!

The Gals!  Lisa, Natalie, Summer and Katherine!  No job was too big for this crew!  Some even found new passions…exclamations of “Oh, I love painting” and “this is totally therapeutic” could be heard throughout the box!  Not to mention the bouts of laughter they brought!

Noah…our helper from afar.  We are so very thankful for your constant support and advice.

Cosmopolitan Primal Girl, who continues to wow us with her primal creations.  We look forward to many future paleo nights and good eats!  Thanks so much for all the opening goodies…delish.

Mini and Medium Weir (aka Madeline and Laura)!  Our unwavering cheerleaders who supported with coffee, errand runs, and daily smiles.

And of course, everyone who joined us Saturday in celebration.

We are excited to see our CrossFit Quantum community grow and achieve amazing feats!

Many, many thanks.
