CrossFit AllStar NEWS!
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season filled with love, laughs, and great holiday food! Our family was in Japan for the holidays enjoying exploring the world with our kids...and eating waaaaay to many Japanese pastries and ramen!!! Time to get back on track with clean eating and fitness? WE’RE HERE FOR YOU! There’s never been a better time like the present to make good choices to create the health and wellness you want. If you took a break from the gym for a while, we miss you and look forward to seeing you back soon! See below for all the amazing things happening at the box RIGHT NOW!
LURONG RESOLUTION CHALLENGE STARTS MONDAY JAN. 14!!
“The Lurong Living Resolution Challenge combines nutrition, fitness, lifestyle, and accountability in a fun and engaging nationwide competition. It is built for those who want to take back control of their lives while improving diet, performance, and confidence.”-Lurong Challenge website
This online challenge is perfect if you need accountability or a fresh start or re-start with clean eating and up-leveling your training. YOU MUST REGISTER ONLINE AT THE FOLLOWING LINK https://challengeseries.lurongliving.com/resolution19/ Be sure to read all the requirements and rules of the challenge. LURONG WORKOUTS WILL BE HELD ON MONDAYS in all classes. There will be no make-ups unless you personally arrange outside of class time. Do not expect to ‘make up’ a Lurong workout in a regular class, this becomes difficult for the coach when we have large class sizes. Lurong workouts will require the gym to work together to judge each other, even if you are not registered, we MUST run the gym as if you are so we can get all athletes fairly judged. Expect 2 heats in the WODs on Mondays for the next 5 weeks. Coach Aiko volunteered to lead up the Lurong Challenge this time around! MAHALO! You will ask Aiko any questions via TEXT at 808-464-2460 and you will contact Aiko to get weighed and measured. Please READ the Lurong website before asking Aiko for guidance. She’s volunteering to help but please be respectful of her time and do not abuse her availability. With the New You program starting I will be taking on 6 extra classes per week along with up to 50 new clients so i was not going to have the gym participate in Lurong this year unless another staff member was the leader and Aiko graciously stepped up! NOW GO REGISTER and take advantage of all the RESOURCES, RECIPES, ARTICLES, AND INFO ON THE LURONG SITE: https://challengeseries.lurongliving.com/resolution19/

ROWING PROGRAM INFO & UPDATES
In the past couple months we had some of our athletes participate in a Rowing for Charity event online we would like to acknowledge Kim Horn, Carolyn Hess, Joel Kiliona, and Tanya Villanueva & Anna Kiliona going over 100,000 meters EACH! Nice work!
Some interesting stats pulled up by our rowing coaches Joel & Anna....The total meters that have been rowed in the gym as a whole has almost been matched in the year and a half since our rowing program has started then in all other previous years put together! Prior to the rowing program the totals on the ERGS (keep in mind we had less ERGS but still!) were 11,036,527 rowed. Since the rowing program we have rowed 10,089,119 meters! I think this is a testament to how well Joel & Anna run the rowing program, and how much more we can include ERGS in our daily WODs. In 2011 we opened the box with 2 ERGs, and today we have 8 ERGS, 2 rowing classes, and 2 rowing coaches who guide and lead us to all be better on the ERG. MAHALO to Joel & Anna for growing the rowing program and making us all BETTER ROWERS!
NEW YOU STARTS JAN 26

All participants must be female, and the program is just for beginners or women needing a fresh, slow, reintroduction to CrossFit. $250 for 6 full weeks, 3 classes per week, nutrition and meal plans provided and participants held accountable. And did I forget to say IT’S FUN?!? I ask all existing members to welcome our new women into the box starting Jan 26!

UPDATE ON BROKEN GLASS WINDOW
Thank you for your patience as we negotiate the repair of the broken plate glass window in front of the dumbbells at the gym. We have a plan in place and repairs will begin shortly. Mahalo for your cooperation.
NEW RETAIL AREA RULES
I am asking all members to please not the following rules regarding the retail store:
- ALL SALES MUST be made through a coach. EVEN IF A COACH IS CLEANING THE FLOOR OR TALKING WITH A CLIENT, THE RETAIL SALE COMES FIRST. Please bother your coach, call them over to the desk so they can help you with your purchase.
- Do not leave money behind the desk without telling the coach! All retail sales must be recorded (first and last name) and we cannot do that if money is thrown behind the desk. STOP and ask the coach to write it down and complete the transaction.
- ONLY STAFF PEOPLE BEHIND THE DESK, no members shall go behind the desk.
Mahalo for helping us create a better flow in the retail area!
