Bengals Watch Party!

Split the Pot Holiday Challenge
It's no surprise that December is our least attended month.
This year we are incentivizing you to throw out the holiday excuses and get yourself to the gym with our Split the Pot Holiday Challenge!
Here is how it works...
* Current Members = The cost is $10 for entry. Any extra chances are $1/chance.
* Non-Members = The cost is $50 for entry for non-members. Extra chances are $1/chance. Entry will give them full access to the gym between 11/28 and 12/31.
NOTE: Former members are eligible for the $50 deal, but they must have stopped their membership with us prior to 6/1/24.
All the money collected between members and non-members will be thrown into the pot. We will do a live raffle drawing on January 2nd. Your initial entry and all extra chances will be in the raffle BUT ONLY IF YOU HIT THE 14 CLASS GOAL between 11/28 (Thanksgiving) and 12/31 (New Year's Eve).
Keep in mind that we have over 400 members + all the new members who join the challenge, so we think we can get this pot up pretty high! Lots of $$!
How do I Sign Up?
Current Members: Go to the Dashboard of the StreamFit App. There is an event listed to purchase your initial $10 entry. There is a separate event to purchase any extra $1 chances.
New Members SIGN UP HERE. Please help spread the word! You earn a $20 Amazon gift card for any referrals. Plus if they sign up for a contract following the $50 deal, you earn a Free Month at the gym!
Programming Feedback?
We started following a well-known third party workout program created by CrossFit Mayhem for our CrossFit Classes and a modified version for our high-intensity mix classes as of 10/28. We do not follow the programming exactly, as we need to make adjustments to accommodate equipment sharing with Fitcamp and still incorporate our Wednesday Fitfest workouts.
We are looking for feedback on this new style of programming for CrossFit and High-Intensity Mix; however we would also like feedback on all styles of classes including Fitcamp, Fitfest and Boxing Bootcamp.
Some of the Strength portions (especially the olympic lifting days) of the CrossFit Classes will not be on a set timer. Rather, we will give you 15-20 minutes to complete your sets. This is because it is VERY challenging to coach a large class when everyone is lifting at the same time. While we do understand it will be an adjustment, please know that it is for your benefit in terms of safety and improvement in technique. Please give this new style of lifting time frame a chance, as we truly feel that it is in the best interest of our members.
Feedback on Proposed New Class Times? **New Times to Start December 2nd if implemented**
We would like to implement the following class changes starting December 2nd. These time frames are generally very low in attendance and also very hard to staff. However, if you are opposed to the changes, please click the button below and we will take any concerns into consideration before implementing.
Beginner CrossFit!
If any of our Fitcamp, Boxing Bootcamp and challenge members (or just anyone wanting to check us out) want to give CrossFit a try, you have 2 easy options!
1) Starting December 4th, we will hold a FREE Beginner CrossFit Class Every Wednesday from 6:30PM - 8:30PM
