CrossFit KoP Community:

We wanted to make you aware that Coach P's keys were stolen from the front room of the gym on Wednesday night. In addition to this, the thief then went into his car and proceeded to steal his wallet and all of its contents. We know that the thief was not a member of the gym but no one was proactive in approaching them. We are bringing this to your attention not for the purpose of scaring you but rather so that you can be alert and proactive if you see a stranger in the gym, particularly the front area. There are a lot of new faces in the gym and it is easy for any one, including coaches, to think it is just the newest member going through an intro or Fundamentals. If you see someone that you do not know or looks suspicious (on cell phone, constantly lookin around, not talking to anyone), please point them out to a coach or if you feel comfortable, walk up and say hello, ask their name and if they are there for a class. If they are new, they will be glad for the welcome...if they continue to be suspicious or do not seem to know what is going on, get a coach. This is especially important to mention because it is not the first time that it has happened...a few months ago Jen S had her make-up bag stolen, again by a non-member of the gym. In this instance, Tim H was proactive and let us know that someone suspicious looking was in the lobby. This prevented the thief from stealing more than just make-up.

Going forward, in order to protect your belongings, please utilize the back shower areas and all areas within the actual gym. We are currently looking for lockers to install in the shower room so that all of your belongings can be locked up if you desire. Remember that we are a very strong community and we are here to watch out for one another. Please do not be afraid to report anything that looks suspicious to you...the worst that can happen is that it is a false alarm. Thanks for your help.

CROSSFIT KOP BODY COMPOSITION ASSESSMENTS

Did you know that, as a member of CrossFit KOP, you are entitled to a free body composition assessment twice a year? The body composition assessment can be performed by any of the CFKOP coaches and takes about 20 minutes to complete. We'll use a four point caliper method to estimate your body fat percentage and lean body mass. We'll also record your resting heart rate, blood pressure, height, weight, and arm, hip, waist, leg, and neck measurements. Along with keeping a log book of your performance in CrossFit WODs throughout the year, this is a great way to track your progress towards increased health and fitness!

To sign up for a body composition assessment, send an email to crossfitkop@gmail.com or talk to any of the CFKOP coaching staff.

We will offer body composition assessments during the next Thursday open gym session, which will be on December 2nd. Please plan on completing your assessment BEFORE you work out for the day.
