September 17th is creeping up on us and CFJAX is bound and determined to host an awesome Fight Gone Bad event this year! We are honored to do so and our box is looking forward to bringing our entire community together, under one roof, for a great cause. The CrossFit East family continues to inspire all of us and we are proud to a part of this wonderful community. Our goal is continue the tradition set forth by CrossFit Amelia Island, by inviting all of you, your members and your members' family and friends to come out and show Jacksonville what CrossFit is all about. Come out and support your box, gym, garage, workplace or wherever you get your fitness on, and hang out with some cool people…plus, there is FREE BEER!!!

WHAT IS FIGHT GONE BAD…WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL?

Fight Gone Bad (FGB) is a workout simulating a mixed-martial arts fight, combining 5 exercises. An MMA fight is a 3-round bout with a 1-minute rest in between rounds. For the workout, each round consists of five exercises with each exercise being 1-minute in duration of work (totalling five minutes). You then rest for one minute before repeating the same five minute round. You repeat this cycle until a total of three rounds have been completed. The total of all your repetitions is your score. Make no doubt about it, this is a race and a competition for who can perform the most amount of work within the given timeframe. Test your fitness by doing a 17-minute workout! (By the way, did we mention that there was going to be FREE BEER?)

WHERE DOES ALL THE MONEY GO?

Since it’s inception the CrossFit community has supported causes ranging from cancer research to local causes in need. In 2006, the Fight Gone Bad fundraising event was launched as a one-day International opportunity for the community to turn out as one to create a lasting philanthropic contribution each year. Since then the Fight Gone Bad fundraising event has raised more than $3 million for causes our community has supported. In 2010 the CrossFit Foundation was formed to serve as a resource for all of the CrossFit philanthropic activities. The foundation board works in an advisory capacity with the Sportsgrants Foundation on Fight Gone Bad, and in 2010 became one of the event beneficiaries insuring that funds raised by the community served the community.

"NOT NOW CHIEF - I'M IN THE ZONE!" CHALLENGE

2011-07-25T10:02:00.000-07:00

Join CrossFit JAX for a 30 day nutrition challenge! We are "Zoning", weighing and measuring our food, through the month of August to test what kinds of gains (and losses) we can make. How do we determine our results? With measurable, observable and repeatable data of course. We will all be weighing in and recording our pre-zone weight and body fat percentage. At the end of 30 days, we will revisit the numbers and come up with our challenge winners. Keep in mind, the winners are based on percentage of change, not necessarily pounds or inches. ANYONE has the opportunity to win some cash!

This challenge is open to EVERYONE. Even if you are not a CrossFit JAX member, or a CrossFitter at all, you can absolutely still participate!

Good luck!

2011 CF OPEN

2011-02-24T14:17:00.000-08:00

You do not have to be a member of ANY CrossFit gym to compete and participate. Do you think you have what it takes to win? Ever wondered if you can beat a CrossFitter in a workout? Do you think your training regimen is better than CrossFit? Here is your chance to prove it!

With the first workout being announced on March 15, 2011 the CrossFit Games Open is less than a month away. Since the first WOD (Workout Of the Day) was announced on CrossFit.com 10 years ago, every day people all over the world have posted their results online. The Open is simply taking this process and raising the stakes.

As described in the video, athletes will either complete the Open workouts under judge supervision at registered affiliates, or submit videos of their performances. Throughout the Open, strict requirements for completion will be enforced.

There's a strong incentive for success. The top 60 men, 60 women, and 30 teams in each region will qualify for Regional competition.

Individual participation in the Open will only cost $10 in the U.S. and Canada, and $5 elsewhere. Team registration will begin with every member of a team first registering as an individual. Then, one team member will pay 20 dollars to register as the team captain. It will not cost any additional fees to add team members, regardless of the size of the team. A team must consist of at least 3 men and 3 women.

CFJAX and the CrossFit East family of affiliates will band together to provide the best possible setting, environment and atmosphere for you to throwdown and give all that you've got to compete! the first WOD will be released on March 15 via CFHQ, so we anticipate this first event to take place the following Saturday on March 19th, tentatively.
