BARRACKS LEGENDS: Small Group Classes for 55+

In case you didn't read the shirt on the handsome fellow above ....

The idea is to die young as late as possible.

As many of us are at an interesting stage in life, we see our children growing up and our parents aging. If only we could bottle the youthful energy our kids display and offer it to our parents to keep them vibrant forever. While we can't do that, we can help our parents maintain their vitality and perhaps even turn back the clock a little.

How, you ask? With a healthy serving of exercise, combined with the benefits of social interaction.

Introducing the Barracks Legends: a pilot program designed for those aged 55 and over to help them, as Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod would say, "keep fit and have fun."

Proper exercise can help us achieve the following as we age (aiming to die young as late as possible):

Good (Minimum Goals):

Stand up from a low chair without assistance
Bend over and pick something off the floor
Put on socks and tie shoes

Better:

Stand on one foot
Bend, reach, and lift without risk or fear

Best:

Keep up with the grandkids
Turn back the clock
Run, jump, throw, wrestle—all with a smile

We want this for our parents, and we’re sure you do too. Let’s help them achieve it—or maintain it.

Barracks Legends Pilot Program Details:

Runs Tuesday & Thursday at 10:45 AM
60-minute small group class
Starts September 3rd and runs for 8 weeks (ending October 24th)
$399 for the series

What to Expect Each Class:

Coach-led warmup, including mobility exercises for hip and shoulder health
Strength training focusing on full range of motion (emphasizing motor control and movement integrity over load)
Conditioning tailored to individual needs and abilities
A little social time with like-minded individuals at a similar stage in life

SPRING 2024

Almost Summer Showdown 2024

A little surf, a little turf.

Fun. For everyone.

Part 1: The surf. At the call of 3,2,1 teams will embark on an epic journey of a relay-style 1-mile race. Hate running? Make your teammates do it. Teams divide up the run as they see fit. Score = time. Can anyone go sub 5?

Part 2: The turf. Teams will have one bar and whatever time is left on the 16min clock to work to a 1RM. Teams will have 1 bar, 1 bench, a set of collars, a set of j-hooks and all the weight their little hearts and huge muscles desire. Score = cumulative load of best successful lift of each (bench, hang clean & OHS).

Details: stay outside the cones on the run. Pass the “baton” within the designated area.

Weights can go up or down on the barbell. Female teams will have a 35# barbell. Male teams will have a 45# barbell. You will have 45s down to 2.5s. Collars must be used. Teammates can assist with loading & unloading. Bench - can have assistance unracking, bar must touch chest. OHS - from the rack, shoulder to overhead anyhow. Hang clean - deadlift first, get the bar to your shoulder starting anywhere above the knee.

I got a nautical themed Pashmina Afghan
I'm the king of the world on a boat like Leo
If you're on the shore, then you're sure not me-oh

3 teammates. 3 ergs. 3 times.

3 + 3 + 3 = 1 score (the math works, trust me)

Teammates can choose between:

2000/1600m Echo Bike

1000/800m Concept II Row

500/400m Concept II Ski

Score = total / combined time to cover the 3500/2800m

This event is a floater (I’m on a boat), it should be a sprint (it’s going fast)

And you can wear whatever you want (style points for ‘nautical themed Pashmina Afghans’)

Fit it in where you can.

If you didn’t read that like a young(ish) Arnold Swarzenegger, you can go back and try again. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

… Better right?

Event 4 has a little bit of everything. Some gymnastics. Some barbelling. And everyone’s favourite, the burpee.

It’s for time.

It’s a chipper.

For clarity: 1 round of DT = 12 Deadlifts, 9 Hang Power Cleans, 6 Shoulder to Overhead

RX loads = WT1 115/75, WT2 135/95, WT3 155/105
SCL load = WT1 95/65, WT2 105/70, WT3 115/75

Box height = 24/20 across

WINTER 2024

The Intramural Open!

The CrossFit Open 411

Whether you consider yourself a CrossFit newbie, competitor, enthusiast, fan, or community supporter, the CrossFit Open is for you.

That’s because the Open takes on a special and unique meaning for each person who signs up. For some, the Open brings to life the why behind our daily commitment to CrossFit. Many of us came to CrossFit because we wanted more for our health and fitness, and the Open provides us with a way to stay accountable to this effort. For others, it’s a way to connect and celebrate with other CrossFit athletes within their affiliate and in other cities around the world...

3 weeks of friendly in-house competition with a social spin & a great chance to give back to the YYC community
CrossFit releases 1 workout each week for three weeks on Thursday (starting Feb29)
On Friday, the announced workout is the WOD
Also on Friday, starting @ 4pm, we will organize heats (sign up via StreamFit) where you will have a judge, a scoresheet, and you'll complete the workout.
At 6pm each Friday, we will do a community challenge:

Wk1: Food Bank Tower Build
Wk2: Clothing Drive Dress Up Challenge
Wk3: Mini-Obstacle Course Race

We’ll have snacks, drinks, and a whole lot of social time.
The Team that has the most points (from challenges, participation & performance) wins & your name goes up in lights (well, on a banner at least).

Hello StreamFit, goodbye Zen Planner & SugarWOD.

We are moving to a new scheduling / account management / results tracking software. It’s called StreamFit. You can book classes, see the workouts, manage your account, track your progress, and more … all in one place. No more ZP, no more SugarWOD. It’s time to move into the 21s century.

ALL. IN. ONE … kinda like CrossFit.

We will be moving over the StreamFit next week so we need you to take care of this ASAP or risk not being able to register for class.

Here’s what we need from you in 4.5 simple steps:

1. Download StreamFit

ANDROID LINK:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=client.streamfitness.app.go

2. Access your account by entering your phone number and following the instructions.

3. Enter your credit card information

NOTE: Some of your information has already been entered for you, but please double check and change/modify anything. It is important that you complete your entire profile (DOB, address, emergency contact, etc). If nothing populates, it’s because we do not have the correct information on file. You can reach out to support@streamfit.com if you have any issues.

Here’s a quick video on how the app works: https://rooms.vidyard.com/rooms/HpCBk5ljTbYV2QNcsggzag?vy_player_uuid=hvF3tVwjd7NjztaDcHV3JA

On the top, you are going to see PRs, Benchmarks and Workouts.
Go to the PR tab and click import.
From the top drop-down, select "SugarWOD".
Select the csv file containing your SugarWOD data and click preview
The system will show you all PRs that need to be fixed (where the naming differentiates between the two systems).
Click import.
Next up, go to Benchmarks and Workouts and repeat steps 5-7.

PRs, benchmarks, and workouts might get a little mixed up, however, ALL workouts should transfer, so you may have to search to find your respective PRs in one of the 3 categories.

Here is a video to help with the import.

The OVERALL ATHLETE PROJECT

You want the best for your kid, and so do we.

We love youth sports.

We played them ourselves.

Our team played their respective sports internationally, collegiately, and at other high levels.

But we all agree, there was something missing.

We’re tired of seeing kids burn out, get hurt, or go (physically) all in on a sport that they have no real future in.

Instead, we’d want them to be well-rounded, strong, resilient (aka injury-proof), mobile, agile, coordinated, and mentally tough.

There are a lot of youth programs out there.

Most focus on one particular sport and overload development, riding on the hope that they’ll squeeze out the potential to find the top .01%.

Frankly, the odds aren’t great.

Why not set your kid up for a lifetime of success .. both physically and mentally?

Introducing the “Overall Athlete Project” - a pilot program borne out of the desire to create athletes for life. Hockey, skiing, basketball, soccer, baseball, swimming, racquet sports, whatever … they’ll have a broad base that can be built on for whatever path they choose.

The Overall Athlete Project will commence this summer.

We are accepting only 15 athletes. This exclusive opportunity will span eight weeks, consisting of 20 classes (Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays at noon). Rest assured, we understand the demands of the summer season, and the program accounts for holidays and breaks.

To ensure the utmost quality, we will be conducting screenings for all participating athletes, evaluating their strength, flexibility, and cardio capacity. This vital assessment will enable our experienced coaches to tailor the program to each athlete's specific needs and goals.

What we can guarantee: your child will come out of these sessions stronger, more athletic, mentally tougher, more confident, and ready to face whatever challenges face them this fall. Get them on the ice, snow, court, pitch, or whatever ‘field’ they play on ... with an edge.

Kids Summer Camps 2023 - Calgary

Get ready for another year of Barracks Fitness Kids Camps - where fitness, fun, and exploration come together for an unforgettable experience! Our camps offer a dynamic blend of activities designed to engage children in a range of physical and cognitive challenges.

Throughout the camp, kids will have the opportunity to participate in various activities, including running, gymnastics and introductory weightlifting exercises tailored to their age and ability level. These engaging exercises help develop coordination, strength, and overall fitness.

But that's not all!

We believe in providing a well-rounded experience, which is why we go beyond traditional fitness. Our camps include captivating science experiments that combine learning with hands-on exploration, fostering curiosity and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

In addition, each day will bring a new adventure as we introduce kids to exciting sports they may not have experienced before. From soccer to basketball, martial arts to yoga, our campers will have the chance to try out a diverse range of sports, discover new passions, and expand their horizons and athletic ability.

Our camps take full advantage of the great outdoors, offering a predominantly outdoor experience. With this in mind, it is essential for kids to come prepared with appropriate attire and necessities to ensure their comfort and safety throughout the day.

At our Kids Fit Camps, we strive to create an environment that combines physical activity, mental stimulation, and exploration, empowering children to embrace a healthy lifestyle while having an absolute blast. Join us for a week of growth, friendship, and endless fun!

The 2023 Intramural CrossFit Open

The Intramural Open is a Barracks Fitness version of the CrossFit Open (link) that is organized by us for you!

Instead of competing at a global level, you will compete alongside your usual WODmates against other class times for the 3 weeks of the Open.

It's friendly, supportive, fun, and for all skill levels!

Each week, we will all do a version of the CF Open workouts that are released by CFHQ.

Ideally, you'll sign up for a heat time during Friday Night Lights, do your workout, judge a workout, and enjoy some snacks, beverages & great company.

(If you can't make it Friday nights, don't worry, you have options.)

Our focus: participation, teamwork, and community building rather than competition at the highest level.

Every Friday has a community challenge:

Week1: Food Bank Donation Tower Build
Week2: Clothing Donation Dress Up Challenge
Week3: Mini-Obstacle Course Race

FAQ

Will the workout be programmed during class?

Yes, each Friday during the Open, class will be the workout programmed by CFHQ.

I can't make all the Friday Nights, can I still participate?

Absolutely. As long as you complete the workout with a judge between Thursday & Monday of that week you're good to go!

Can I do the workout during Open gym?

Yep, find a judge and a scoresheet. Do the workout & submit your score to SugarWOD.

Do I have to sign up on CrossFit.com?

No, BUT, you should ... if you like charting your progress over the years, and seeing how you stack up against others around the world.

Event 2a&b -- (reps) Max2 (load)

A. 1min clock: Max Unbroken XX*, AMRAP Devil's Press (variation) w/ remaining time

immediately into ...

B. 6min to find a max load in the complex: 3 Hang Cleans** + 3 Shoulder to Overhead

*max unbroken XX =

RX 35-44
bar muscle ups
devil's press load = 50s/35s

RX 45-50+
chest to bar pull-ups
devil's press load = 50s/35s

SCL 35-44
chin over bar pull-ups
alternating 1-arm devil's press load = 50/35

SCL 45-50+
double dumbbell hang snatch 35s/20s
alternating 1-arm devil's press load = 50/35

**1 hang clean must be from below the knee

At the call of 3,2,1 go, athletes will advance to their pull-up bar (DBL DBs for SCL 45+) and begin a max unbroken set. The set is complete when the athlete comes off the bar (or puts the DBs down). Once the set is complete, the athlete will move on to the Devil's Press variation for the remainder of the minute.

Athletes do not have to complete the pulling gymnastics but will score below any other athlete that completes one or more reps of pulling gymnastics.

Once the 1min clock elapses, athletes will move to their barbell and spend the next 6min attempting to work to a max in the barbell complex.

Score = total reps for part A & heaviest successful load in part B.

FAQ:

1 BMU / C2B / Pull-up / DBL DB Hang Snatch will rank you higher than someone who does 0 even if they end up with more 'total reps'

COMPLEX: 1 of any of the 3 hang cleans must pass below the knee, the others can be hip, high hang or hang, power or squat, and then STOH anyhow.
