World-Class Fitness in 100 Words:
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

My $.02:
I liked the 10-week challenge ideas from other gyms, particularly stuff that is skill focused.
I think team workouts are a lot of fun, particularly when there are a lot of people to make the best use of the gym. Maybe we can use them on rest days?
The last CF gym I joined at this mark in the membership. I watched it change a lot as it grew to 3x its size. The challenge will inevitably arise for this group as well - to keep the community supportive and close-knit, while accepting new members and making them a part of our experience. The more we all work toward that end, the better off we will all be in the end. Have a good week everyone!
