Starting MONDAY, NOV 1st, Joey Verrant will take over ownership of the box under a new affiliate, CrossFit West Ames. Check out the new website @ www.crossfitwestames.com. This site will no longer be updated daily (we'll be on an extended rest), so check Joey's site for WOD details.

I want to thank Joey for taking the initiative to take this program over and offer a place for you all to continue with CrossFit training. It is a big undertaking, but there is no better man for the job! Good luck with your new adventure, Joey, I wish you the best!

I cannot thank you all enough for the good times and great experiences at CrossFit Ames and for helping making it what it is today, trainers and trainees alike. I want to thank my family for all of their help and support over the last 2 1/2 years, to everyone who pitched in to help when needed, to everyone who came to classes and gave it their all everyday and for making this a comfortable place where people felt welcome and liked to come and not only workout, but hangout. You have been a great team and I can't thank you enough!

CONGRATS to Grant, who finished his internship last night by passing his final test of taking a group through Fundamentals! He finished his internship learning all of the ins and outs of running a small business and demonstrating ability to teach all the movements of CrossFit effectively. Grant plans to continue being a part of the box as a member. It was great to have him as part of the team this summer/early fall and see his progress. Thanks for all the work you did, Grant!

And WELCOME to Caity, Evan and Kelly! These 3 went through fundamentals last night and are ready to rock and roll. Look for Caity at 5:30am and Evan and Kelly at 5:30pm...
