The RED SHIRTS are coming!  Join Gym Needham’s Red Shirt Brigade!

“CrossFit Providence empowers athletes of all ages and fitness levels to win everyday; claiming victory by making their bodies healthier, stronger, and faster than they were before.”

What is the deal with the RED Shirt

I think anyone can imagine the joy and reward GYM gets from participating in activities performed outside of the gym.  Yes, that Gym, the one of Tough Mudder and Spartan Race fame.  The same Gym that wants you to join him this weekend at the MetroDash!

Why is Gym so Pumped about these races?  He knows from all his years of of training, the people that achieved the most results and sustained them, where the individuals that incorporated the results they acquired in the gym, to their everyday lives. This translates into making their lives more active. If 23 Hrs a day is spent sleeping or in front of the computer and the other hour is spent working out, your results will be limited. If however you develop a more active lifestyle, you not only will be improving your results but also developing the habits that will sustain them.

So Gym created the RED shirt brigade!

Would you like a RED shirt and to be part of Gym’s Brigade?

So the question is… How do you get a CrossFit Providence RED shirt?

No member will be able to buy one. They can only be earned!

The CrossFit Providence RED shirt will be the team uniform for CrossFit Providence’s Race team. To be a member you must sign up and finish a CrossFit Providence sponsored event, the first one being the Metro Dash (www.metrodash.com) on Oct. 8^th.  The next one on the queue is the Mew’s Tavern Gear and Beer run on November 20.

This race team is being formed so that members will get better results and maintain those results. Also CrossFit Providence would like to showcase their member’s results outside of the gym. That way all the dedication and hard work that takes place inside CrossFit Providence can be seen by others.

CrossFit Providence will take care of the race team by providing their uniform, the coveted RED Shirt

The following is what will be expected of you:

1. Be willing to represent CrossFit Providence in a respectable way up-holding the highest level of sportsmanship.
2. Commit the time, effort and sacrifices it will take to train smart.
3. Define and work on your weaknesses
4. Train hard
5. Respect the need for recovery (massages, ice baths foam roller etc.)
6. Give yourself time to heal.
7. Not allow ego to get in the way of your excellence
8. Do whatever it takes to fuel the fire inside of you
9. Try to rise to every occasion available
10. Recognize every opportunity presented….. Like being a part of CrossFit Providence’s race team.

“When your strength and stamina are tested, let your performance be the evidence of your preparation and a RED shirt be your uniform.”
