EVERYWHERE TO HIDE
- A Fun, In-House Competition Fri Sept 29th-
Unlike other team competitions, you get to 'hide' in this one.
Not good at Devil's Press? Let your teammates do them.
Don't like the bike? Don't bike.
There's a little something for everyone. Here are the deets:
Friday Sept 29th - 5pm-9pm
Same sex Teams of 3
Rx & Scaled
2 workouts (1A / 1B & 2)
$50pp
Find 2 friends (or we can find them for you), and sign up at the whiteboard.
Here's the workouts:
FLOW:
Workout 1A. 1 teammate chooses a 'test' and gets as many reps/cals or the highest possible load in their minute. The teammate that is doing the Clean gets 3 attempts to find a max load.
Workout 1B: Work together to get through the reps as quickly as possible. 1 person working at a time. Divide the reps as your team sees fit. 15min time cap (.
Workout 2: Complete the calorie 'buy-in' (divide as needed) then move on to 10 reps of each movement, then 9 reps, then 8 reps ... all the way down to 1. Once the "1" round is complete, the team will complete 20 synchro burpees over the bar as the 'buy-out'. 20min time cap

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
iPHONE LINK:https://apps.apple.com/us/app/stream-fitness-member/id1599280771
2. Access your account by entering your phone number and following the instructions.
3. Enter your credit card information
4. Search BARRACKS FITNESS
4.5. Please complete the required profile information if you are taken to profile. Otherwise you can go to profile by using the top right circle in the app, then edit profile. 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

SUGARWOD DATA TO STREAMFIT
Step 1: Exporting Your Data from SugarWOD
Login to the SugarWOD app and navigate to the whiteboard
Select the Options button in the top left (three lines)
Tap on the "Tools & More" button
Scroll down to the "Tools and Resources" section, and tap on "Export Workouts".
A screen will pop up asking you to either confirm or cancel your request to export your workout data
An email will be sent to you with a csv attachment with all of your workout data. It will send this workout data to the email that you have associated with your SugarWOD account
Download csv file
Step 2: Importing your data into Streamfit
Login to Streamfit on a computer (not the app).
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!
SPOTS ARE LIMITED AND FILLING UP!

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
Sign up on the whiteboard or through ZP (link).

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.

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.
