Town Hall Meeting – 7pm Friday February 21st

The cherished town hall meeting, every small town used to have them.  We at CFV have had some doozies.  Each one was spawned from a tragic or glorious event in our community.  From the city trying to shut us down (“we shut down a sweat shop group chant”) to  “Scotch and Beer with Glassman” to kick off our 29 east 2^nd location after we were near bankrupt.  We have had some truly authentic “town Hall meetings”.

Well we have a new reason to throw another one.  Many of you are old friends of mine and have not seen me around the place like I once was in years past.  There is a very specific reason for that and that is the topic of this town hall meeting.

For those of you who can’t make it, are not terribly interested in the details or are just interested in how this meeting will effect you directly right now, this is essentially what will be happening in the next week.

Our website URL will be changing.  We will no longer be using www.crossfit.ca this domain will be changing to www.crossfitvancouver.com.  For most of you it is as simple as changing this URL in your favorites tab.  www.crossfit.ca will forward to www.crossfitvancouver.com for another 3 months.

We ask you to please change this URL as soon as it goes live and that is it, you are done.  No need to do anything else or read any further.

For those of you who are interested in the bigger picture and what happens behind the scenes at our school and the greater world of Crossfit.  You will dig this meeting.  I promise ya.

As many of you know a lot has changed in the Crossfit world in the past 3- 5 years.  There are now 100 new CF branded gyms a week opening whose only training is a 2 day course.  We have been honing our trade and developing our business for 10  years now, and we have been doing a lot of prep that we would like to show you.

Our Crossfit affiliate site www.crossfitvancouver.com  will tie into a larger site www.madlab.ca which encompasses our entire business which is now a provincially registered school.   We are going for final accreditation in a few months, rolling out an entirely revamped apprentice program and an all new online school.  This accreditation will also enable our apprentices access to student loans, the GI bill in the US, and a whole lot of other good shit.

Our school is also tied into a global network that I started 3 years ago www.madlabgroup.com that brings together best practices, business systems, software, coach development and quality control among gyms around the world.  We have many of the oldest Crossfit gyms on the planet from Boston to Atlanta, Miami, Dublin, Sydney, Auckland, LA, San Francisco and Chicago among the 70 gyms currently in this group.  These are the best gyms on the planet and our little school in East van is the leader of the pack.  Stop by any of these sister gyms and tell them you are from our school (Madlab school of Fitness ) and you will be treated like royalty.

One of the first products this group has released is the Pocket Coach™ ,which is replacing all those duo-tang folders lying about the gym, as well as www.crossfitleaderboard.com.  We will teach you how to use it and get your own account.  The fitness rating feature is pretty cool.   Yes Madlab tournament vets……it is ready!!!

If this interests you, come see what we are up to and how it will positively affect your fitness and our community both locally and around the globe.
