  I want magic pills that will give me an instant 6 pack. Maybe a free taxi service to drive me home for those days I cant lift my arms after a WOD. Other than that, I cant think of anything.

  There are many great things about the Fort that I love and I thank everyone for all their hard work to make the Fort such an incredible place. When I first started going to the Fort all I could think about is how come there was never a place to hang my coat but as of a few days ago that problem has been solved . I know many people may not agree with me but for me I would like to know what the workout for the day would be ahead of time. I have lower back problems and recently some shoulder pain. For me knowing what the workout would be a day in advance would help me plan better for if my lower back or shoulder were hurting. I know once I get in I could substitute certain movements but I'm hard headed and like to stick with what's on the board the best that I can. I can't think of anything else I would like to see at the Fort, so once again thanks for everything and keep up the good work.

  A couple more benches so we could squeeze in some bench press for strength or a sweet WOD like Linda? Perhaps some reflector running vests too. A truck almost took me out this morning at the intersection but there was no way in hell I was stopping when Morgan was a good 30 meters out in front of me!

  Mike, you must have forgotten about our taxi service. You utilized it the day Mark kicked you in the face and broke your nose! Your truck was even driven home for you

  Agree with the Show, it would be cool to have some benches and more bars so we could take on "Linda".

  However, even more important is this:

  ANOTHER PULL-UP BAR!

  Gotta be a way that we can hang another bar somewhere so a lot more of us can be crushing the pull-ups together.

  Perhaps a new challenge for Bender? He mastered the jump rope, now onto pull-up bar designs....

  Oh, and since Matty Lo is out of town, I am going to speak up for him and say the one thing he would like to see added is:

  *drum roll please* wait for it......

  A KEGERATOR

  I mean, doesn't everyone want a fresh cold beer after a WOD?

  More time to come to the Fort.

  A pull up bar where I could jump up to the next level pull up bar.

  Sauna!!!

  Okay scratch sauna, I wil go for world peace or 4000 square feet of Fort.

  I'm not sure if you already have these in storage for the winter... but how about some large floor fans for the summer?

  Perhaps some more class times earlier in the day

  Have you ever incorporated sandbags into your WODs?

  i'm not a member so i realize my opinion doesn't matter, but i follow your affiliate (to track sam & kinz). i'd like to give a silent vote for josh t's suggestion of posting the wod in advance.

  every morning when i get to work, the first thing i do is check out what wod i'll be doing that day (at crossfit tricities). then i look at a couple of the other affiliates that i follow to see what they will be doing. i would love to know how sam will be punished for the day!

  you guys have a great program over there at the fort, cant wait to visit sometime!

  1. A third 7 p.m. class! Heck, even an 8 p.m. would be fine.

  2. I'd echo the desire for more pullup bar space. Especially when people have to use bands or do body rows, there's never enough space.

  3. Did I mention another 7 p.m. class?

  It would be cool to have a shower there but then everyone would want to use it and there would be a line thus defeating the purpose for which I would use it.

  It would give me the ability to catch a 9:00 class on ocassion and quick shower and get to work. Would also allow me to do some more Saturday's if I could shower and head straight to the office in Cary instead of having to drive back to Grayslake and shower to head to Cary...makes it not worth it then.

  Otherwise.....if you could, at no extra cost, provide me with a personal food accountability person to walk around, slap my hand when I reach for dessert and randomly flash my before pics in my face......yeah, that would be helpful.

  Oh well....here's hoping

  I like the idea of another pull-up bar or maybe a few more racks. How about creating Homework WOD's for time when we want to make it in but our unable due to work, other personal commitments, or when the fort is closed...

  I'm using my wish for 7pm class everynight... I'm stuck working in the city a lot and leaving the city at 3:30 and trying to make it to a 6pm'er is near imposible.

  I would like to see a bigger fort. We have many devoted members and they deserve a bigger place with all the things listed above. ie pull up bars (of all different heights), glute ham machines, benches, racks, bars, and rowers on the same level. I may have added a couple things. Just by reading most of the members posts it appears "space" is the common denominator.

  I wish for me to just come back to my fort family!! I miss yall! Soon enough, though!. I do like the pull up bar idea. That would be nice. Maybe a tanning bed, hahahaha! LOL....
  But mainly I just wish for my ankle to get better so i can be with yall again

  Building on the pull-up bar, I'd say these too:

  1) More racks. Good call Steph!

  2) More 5K kilo collars. Those are a premium and a lot of us jockey for them. Having more sets of them would be clutch.

  3) More bumpers need more 5K and 10K bumpers. We seem to wait and share the 5's a lot.

  I do like stephs ask about homework wod's. When I am gone, I would love to train as close to the box programming as possible. That way I am consistent.

  Well I've been waiting to weigh in on this one, but in all honesty I got what i wanted with your guys Xmas gift (dumbbells) so my request would simply be using those babies a little more often, maybe allowing subbing any dumbbell movement for running or rowing would be sweet but somehow I doubt that's in the cards.

  Oh and more posts from the Nutrition blog I'm going through withdrawal!

  And maybe a 'Fort' tested and approved recipe link where we could submit some our cooking experiments and you guys could rate them on overall nutrition and taste.

  OH and one more thing I'd like to see a Meatzzafest 2010!

  1. More pull up bars.
  2. Post WODs night prior or log them for reference. This helps for the days I miss. Its also helpful for the runs so i dont forget my shoes...
  3. A stretching/flexibility seminar from the guy highlighted on the main site.

  thanks.
  Morgan

  Scratch my first 3 wishes.. I like the idea of posting the WOD's online before class even better.

  I like the recipe link idea!!! Homework WODs and more pull up bar space would be good too!

  I am like Kelli...I just want to be back, but that won't happen until July! At least I will be adding 2 future CrossForters to the mix! Miss everyone!! Can't wait to get back in there and working my butt off, literally!

  I too, would love to be back. To that end, I would LOVE an 8PM class so I could go home, put the rugrats to bed and come to the Fort! M,T, TH would be best! (wishes, right?) either that, or a GYG that starts at 5...

  I'm so excited (and scared) to get back to the Fort! Soon, very soon. Just waiting for the doc's clearance. Both of us are very glad about the 9 am class being offered every day. It'd be great if there were other morning times available, too. That way we could switch off with the kiddos...or better yet, how about babysitting at the Fort?! I also really like Marky's idea of a recipe link...that would be REALLY helpful!
