Hello everyone, and welcome to one of the most beautiful times of the year to be in Guanacaste! November’s still a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to Costa Rican travel, and as the rains slow down and the breeze starts, we’re left with gorgeous greenery under a clear blue sky, and very people in town, so we have the waves, the beaches, and the trails mostly to ourselves.
Through the start of December, the weather just keeps getting better, and around Christmas, people start showing up in droves for the festive season, where town is bustling and busy and there’s stuff to dive into everywhere you look.
Here’s what to expect from the upcoming season with us!
We’re shaking things up again this season and trying a new event that we’re calling Throwndown Thursdays (or Los Juegos Jueves in Spanish).
Here’s how it’ll work — Coach Harry is going to come up with a multi-functional, multi-movement workout designed to level the playing field for all body shapes and sizes (tall, short, heavy, light, medium). Then, we’ll all give it our best shot!
At the end of the day, we’ll celebrate everyone who took on the workout, with a special shoutout to our top finishers in each division! It’s a great way to bring a little bit of friendly competition into our weekly workouts!
This space is for everyone, so if you’d like to help us improve CrossFit Potrero, this is the event for you!
Once the green season rains are gone for good, you’re invited to join the coaching team for a day of Gym Improvements. Whether you want to help with painting, landscaping, maintenance, organizing the interiors, or have your own ideas for contributions, we’d love to see you!
We’ll reach out in the CFP WhatsApp group to organize in the weeks leading up to the event
All friends, family, and pets will be welcome, so stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks!
And it would be genuine malpractice not to add a BeachWOD with such incredible weather on the way. Show up at the gym in clothes that you’re not afraid to get sandy or wet, and enjoy a fun workout that’s even MORE outdoors than usual!
Last but not least, we’re including a heads up for the end of the year holidays, where we’ll have some adjustments to the usual gym schedule, as follows:
Dec 24: Saturday Schedule
Dec 25: Gym Closed (Merry Christmas!)
Dec 31: Gym Closed (New Year’s Eve!)
Jan 1: Gym Closed (Happy New Year!)
Hey gang! If you’ve read this far, I personally love you. This is an awesome time of year, when we get the very best weather as the rains fade, so let’s get out on the floor and have a blast! Also, the weeks around Christmas and into the new year can be incredibly lively, with people visiting from around the world, so make sure to extend that warm CFP welcome to our guests.
And if you’re a visitor in the area this season, welcome! If you’re looking for a good deal to try out the gym, you can drop in during our Sunset Specials (reduced price Drop-In) and Saturday Workouts (2 for 1).
If you’re looking to stop by more than once, the Week Pass will be your best value, and also be aware that the whole area is busy this time of year! This is particularly notable with our shirts — they can go fast during the holiday season, and we often sell out of our most popular sizes, so grab one before they’re gone!
And there you have it, our schedule for the upcoming season. If you’ve got any questions, reach out to us at info@crossfitpotrero.com, or swing by the gym and ask us in person.
For now, though, ciao, and hope to see you out there!
