The Monthly CFTC Newsletter
The start of 9:30AM Murph on 5/29/23
CFTC Team-
The summer is in full swing now, and we have one big ask of you. We celebrate this week with a thank you dinner for our coaches. Please share your favorite memory or quality about your favorite CFTC coach before Thursday 6/8.
Murph was a great event this past Monday with over twenty people completing the workout over the weekend (shout-out to the Friday evening crew who did it early), and we all ended with smiles and remembrances for fallen soldiers.
Keep reading for some other news and notes.
For June, the rest of the highlights are:
Coach Celebration - Tell Your Coach Thank You - We will have a coach's dinner to say thank you to our coaches on Thursday, June 8. Share a few words for what you love most about one or more coaches and we'll share it with them. Note the 6:30PM class on 6/8 will be abbreviated and end at 7:00PM. Share here >>
Summer Turn Up - Turn up the music, and just turn up to your classes. Like last year, we want to encourage everyone to keep coming out to the gym in the summer. We will have three tiers of prizes for those with the highest attendance in June, July and August. Stay tuned to social media for progress tracking. Follow CFTC >>

Coach's Eye - Chris D.
Although he has a hectic travel schedule, Chris is a steadfast part of the 5:30PM class. The workout may get some commentary, but Chris puts in his best effort and will speed through the run, so get him on your team if you want to share the metcon load. Keep up the hard work Chris!
