COMMUNITY UPDATE


Holiday Party Fri, Dec 13: Please join your FEAST friends and family this Friday, December 13th from 6:30pm - 10:00pm, to celebrate the holidays! We'll have tacos, beer, hard seltzer, and a holiday punch that really packs a punch. Can't wait to see you at 4510 N. Ravenswood!

Welcome Welme! We're sure you've met her by now, but if you haven't, please say hello to Welme Lecordeur. She's travelled all the way from her home in South Africa to do CrossFit in Ravenswood, has her CF Level 1, and will be working the front desk and on the floor.

Thanks for Giving the Gift of FEAST! We got a great response from our first ever "Group Roots + Rest of Month Free" promotion thanks to you sharing the sign up emails and posts with your friends and family. We're excited to continue to grow this community around you. Please connect us with anyone in your network who you think is considering getting healthy, or taking a new approach to their health in 2020. If you know anyone who lives in surrounding areas who could use some fitness help, we're ready for them!

Committed Club. Congratulations to the following Feasters who achieved "committed club" status last month. This means they had reserved and attended 16+ classes in the month of November: 

  • Dennis Johnson

  • Lindsey Herndon

  • Greg Robbins

Congrats to Competitors and Thanks to Supporters: A huge shout out to all the Feast athletes who have used what they've gained in here to compete out there! Britta, Anna, Vickie, Alex, Tony and Brad at South Loop, and Dan, Tommy Gerrit and PJ at Park Ridge. We're super proud of you, and couldn't be happier to have you represent Feast. And a special thanks to the Feasters who came out and cheered them on--we loved the show of community support and we know the competitors did too. IF YOU COMPETED, OR SUPPORTED (OR BOTH), PLEASE ASK A COACH FOR A WATER BOTTLE STICKER.

NUTRITION UPDATE


New Year, New Habit: Starting Jan 1 we're going to be officially launching our Healthy Habits to the Feast community. We'll collectively tackle one Healthy Habit every two months, with Rx and Customized standards, which will be leaderboarded through SugarWOD every Monday. Why do it? If you commit to our nutrition approach, then by the end of 2020, you'll have, through habit change, incrementally and relentlessly improved your health. We can't wait to start this journey with you!

Origin Meals: By now you may have heard that Kettlebell Kitchen is no longer in business. We're pleased to announce that we've formed a new partnership with Origin Meals to provide delivery of pre-made, healthy meals to the fridge in Feast for our members. Feast member Zanna is the Origin rep, so feel free to ask her any questions about it if you see her between her two-a-day workouts, and order HERE using discount code TRY20 to get 20% off your first order!

TruLocal: We hope you had the opportunity to try the food from TruLocal and meet their reps on Saturday. TruLocal is a Beyond the Box Nutrition-approved provider of locally/sustainably sourced, high-quality, animal protein. 

Nutrition Coaches Slay the Holidays: The holidays can be a tough time for nutrition, but our awesome coaches have some great strategies for you to have fun while not defeating your goals. Sign up for regular office hours on Tuesdays from 6:00pm-7:00pm and Thursday evenings from 5:30pm-6:30pm. To reserve a time to talk with a nutrition coach please sign up in Zen Planner or using the Zen Planner app.
