This weeks Wednesday WOD Winner sponsored by Wild Tea Kombucha is LJ Boehm!
Even though LJ had the option to opt out of running in today’s WOD he stuck with it in order to improve on his weaknesses! Way to go LJ, we’re proud of you.
LJ has won 5 bottles of delicious Wild Tea Komucha! Need another reason to drink it?! It enhances your mood! Did you know that B vitamins can help battle depression, stabilize your mood, and improve your overall concentration? Kombucha is packed with them including B1, B6, and B12. It also has vitamin C, which promotes the release of cortisol, a stress-relieving hormone.

Tomorrow’s celebration of Coffee and Beer Wednesday is being done with a special intention for a very important RCR member, Evelyn Roy.
The Roy Family (Heather, Mike, Evelyn and Harper) have been members of the gym for several years with Heather participating in a variety of classes with her daughters often in tow or enrolled in CF Kids!
The first week of school Heather took Evelyn (9 years old) to the hospital with what they thought was appendicitis. Doctors soon found a mas...s the size of a softball in Evelyn’s stomach. Following a biopsy the Roy’s learned the mass is neuroblastoma, a type of cancer.
This week Evelyn is undergoing some pretty intense scans to determine how far the cancer has spread with surgery scheduled for early next week. Following the surgery, Doctors will better be able to assess treatment and Evelyn’s prognosis going forward.
As our friend Heather (who is Celiac) will be in the hospital daily with Evelyn next week we have arranged for our amazing friends at Harbour Meals to deliver a week’s worth gluten free meals to her door on Sunday so she can focus on Evelyn and stay healthy herself. If you’d like to contribute please feel free to make a financial donation of any kind this week (through Sunday). In addition to the meals we are assembling a basket of activities to keep Evelyn occupied post-surgery next week and will use the rest towards a Visa gift card to help the family pay for hospital parking and other incidentals.
Tomorrow let’s raise a toast to little Evelyn, one of the strongest girls we know...keeping her wonderful family in our thoughts all the while.
Good luck, Evelyn!

It’s a sad day at RCR as we wish Coach Nicole the best as she enters this exciting stage in her life!
Nicole you are going to be greatly missed by everyone at RCR especially your Masters class. You were such a positive presence in the gym and always had a smile on your face. You are a great coach and there’s no doubt you will be an amazing mother 🤰🏼

Nice work today, Noon Crew! A much deserved recovery day!
Active recovery offers athletes many benefits including a lower resting heart rate! Studies have shown that when pursuing active recovery right after intense exercise the blood lactate level (what makes you sore) lowers faster than if one were to immediately start resting.
Doing this allows the body to restore itself to its resting state, which helps the heart return to its normal pace, allowing the muscles to benefit from the workout as a result. Because of this, the athlete can enjoy more strength and endurance in future workouts. Talk about gains!

Today’s Wednesday WOD Winner, sponsored by Wild Tea Kombucha, is Reg Cooper! Reg just finished Foundations with Coach Dylan, today was his first official CrossFit class with the noon crew and he did great!
It’s suggested that kombucha can help you lean out as the acids it contains are similar to apple cider vinegar, helping increase your metabolism if you drink it before a meal. A faster metabolism will allow you to cut weight faster and keep it off easier. The drink also has tons of antioxidants, especially the green and black tea varieties. These powerful antioxidants help fight free radicals. If your microbes are depleted, you may be at risk of developing diabetes and obesity, but including kombucha in your diet is thought to help prevent them! Give it a go!

If you need some mid-week motivation you can look forward to joining us tomorrow post-WOD for Beer (and coffee) Wednesday thanks to Banded Peak Brewing and our friends at Vine Arts Wine and Spirits! Great work today everyone!

CF24 is back at RCR! Gather up your WOD buddies, save the date and join us on Saturday, October 20th for WODs every hour on the hour to raise funds and awareness for The Special Olympics Canada!
This is one of our favourite events and the day will be fun filled for a great cause!

The coaches are amazing, the work outs are hard and the results are worth it! New friends and new found love for crossfit! Thanks to the 6 week challenge for introducing me to this wonderful place I'll never look back!

The biggest asset this place has: people. Not just the coaches, but the athletes you'll train alongside. Just a whole bunch of awesome!

So far really enjoying myself with Amber. Well worth every penny and I have only been to one session can’t wait for many more.

My only beef with RCR is the fact that nobody warned me that I would have to re-purchase my entire wardrobe when fat that I didn't even know existed started disappearing from my body. I then made the mistake of buying new clothes too early, because not long after I did, I dropped even more sizes. That's seriously a pain but besides that, this place is the bomb dot com.

Love the coaches, they are very knowledgeable and each one brings their own unique experiences and techniques to the classes. I don’t feel judged if I need to modify a movement due to health concerns. Couldn’t ask for a better community�

Joined May 1st 2018, best decision ever! Looking forward to all the challenges each day, really tests you mentally and physically. You can't put a price on health, happiness and a sense of fulfillment!

I started the 6 week challenge and I have not left, nor do I plan on it! Coming from someone who didn't work out I feel it has change my life tenfold!

I have a long ways to go yet and I have no intensions of quitting! This is my new lifestyle and I owe it to RCR!

Thank you Holly and Emily for your time and support and I look forward to all of our classes together�

I love working out there! People are great, coaches are Awesome, always feel welcome and not intimidated ���

I joined RCR last April and it has been a wonderful time so far and I know it is just going to get better the coaches are fabulous it's like one big happy family

Witch reminds me it is almost time to renew my membership

I did the Masters Challenge in June and haven't looked back! Love pretty much everything about this gym from the location to the coaches to WODs!

Have to say RCR is the place to go for Crossfit. I have tried a few places and none of them stack up to RCR. Top notch facilities as well as amazing coaches. You want to learn and challenge yourself in a really supportive environment, then this is it.

From the owner to the coaches to the athletes there isn't a better place to work out. The community is amazing. What we have is very special and you will not find this in a global gym.

Friendly, welcoming and great coaching. In bigger CF gyms I have sometimes felt coaches couldn't get round everyone to coach effectively but not an issue at RCR. And a great tip from Ken meant I PR'd my snatch!!

Fantastic facility!

Being brand new to crossfit and rather intimidated I can tell you its nice to have such a warm welcome and understanding. The coaches are always friendly and helpful and willing to scale things to your abilities. So so happy I made the decision to come to Crossfit Ramsey! You should definitely consider checking it out !

Amazing facility, fantastic coaches, and most importantly, a very supportive and encouraging community that spurs you on to be your best! Have been a member for one year and have never been disappointed!

Amazing box! Incredible coaches, space, equipment, and very welcoming people. Thanks for having my husband and I during our holiday!

I saw an ad for a new you challenge on my Facebook feed and I applied to participate. The way it was advertised made it sound like a fitness challenge they needed people to move forward with the challenge. I drive across the city, wasted my entire morning, and then realized it's a scam to get you in to the gym and they still charge you and its not really even a challenge. I think you may want to be up front and not misleading if you want people in your gym lower your prices.
