CFOT Gets a New Home!

Thursday, July 31;

We have been wishing for this one for over a year now. Crossfit Old Town will soon have a store front.. well maybe not a store front, but a window that looks out on to a street.. well maybe not that (I don't really know. I should drive by and see).. but definitely CFOT will have a building that will be used by CFOT and CFOT only!!

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about. Trust me, that happens often. CFOT has spent the past year and a half of its life sharing space with a Jiu Jitsu studio that is located inside a gym. Imagine how difficult it is to answer the question, "Where do you workout." I was never able to come up with a good answer.

Now it'll be easy.. I'll just say I work out on North Royal St. in Old Town!!!!!!

Check out the future home of Crossfit Old Town.

Crossfit Old Town
805 N. Royal St.

If you're familiar with the area at all.. it's just south of Reagan National Airport and about 3 blocks from the Potomac. I know Jerry's crazy, but I am hoping he's not thinking about WODs that involve swimming. Would he do that to us?? There are some sweet little parks in the area, and we'll certainly be able to do some nice trail running or running in general.

Also, for those of you out of town Crossfitters.. CFOT will now be conveniently located just minutes away from the airport so you can fly into National (DCA) and take a cab to CFOT!! We'll welcome you with open arms and a barbell.

There are tons of positives to this new move.. but here's what I can think of off the top of my head. Feel free to add! Post to comments.

Positives of having a new home!

1. Stationary Pullup Bars (therefor many more sub 4 min. Frans!)

2. No more running around ground up pavement and past construction workers.

3. Many more members to add to our Crossfit family.

4. If I wake up at 5am, and I can't force myself out of bed. I will be able to go to an evening class (I hope.. we haven't seen the schedule)

5. No more doing pushups while looking at curly hairs on the blue mats. I always tell myself that they are leg hairs. I got a leg hair in my mouth this morning. eck!!!!

6. More than 3 people can do wallball at a time.

7. Rope climbs and jumping rope???!!!

8. My boss will stop yelling at me for working out barefoot. I always tend to think it doesn't matter in the long run.

9. Crossfit parties on Royal St.

10. We'll be able to put the metal plates on the ground, without tearing the mats.

11. A whole new group of onlookers will be able to ask themselves, "What are those crazy people doing at 6 in the morning?"

12. We may finally get a rack so we can work out back squats. Watch out Crossfit Total.

13. Morning swims in the Potomac.. just kidding!!!!

14. We will now be called the "Royal Psychos"

15. Jerry's long time dream of owning his own gym has finally come true. Congrats Jerry!
