Flux invites you to come and join us in the Pride parade!

Fluxers! Who is going to join Ilse Charity and I for Pride this Saturday? Gyms are a notoriously challenging place for queer folks to negotiate because of homophobia. Let's let the rest of Regina in on what you already know - namely that the Flux daily culture is full of pride! Pride is not just about sexuality. Pride is about making connections with others. It's about loving who you are and fighting for the opportunity to feel at home in your own skin.


Ilse, Darci, and I look forward to walking with our Flux community, friends and family in this year's parade! Please come down, bring your family and friends, and join us as we celebrate our Flux pride and spirit! 

 Look for the Flux truck on 13th ave between Broad and Scarth street in the purple section! Come between 11:30 and 12. The parade begins at noon. You can also join us en route.

Happy pride!

Grow Food - Micro Change at the Grassroots Level

Our mandate is to think small.

Organize. Grow. Share. Eat.

Let's see what unfolds in our parking lot turned vegetable garden.

Get involved and don't miss out on this wonderful social experiment.

-Darci




THE HISTORY OF THE FLUX GARDEN
The Flux Community Garden has been growing Real Food for our members, friends, neighbours and families since 2010. It started in Charity & Darci's front yard, and this year, it will brighten our little corner of 13th Avenue!

We are installing raised garden boxes in the reformed parking lot of the Flux Annex to build health & community and create Real Food awareness by growing vegetables.
With the help of community-minded businesses and friends, the Flux Community Garden will become a fixture in the neighbourhood, year after year.

If you would like to be a part of the Flux Community Garden, there are many ways you can contribute:

Sponsor a garden box ($200+) - Your cash donation will be recognized with a plaque on one of the boxes.
Funds will be used to build boxes, buy quality soil, fertilizer and plants

Group donation ($100+) - Your cash donation will be recognized on a group plaque on one of the boxes.
Funds will be used to build boxes, buy quality soil, fertilizer and plants

Community donation (up to $100) - Your cash donation will be recognized on the Flux Community plaque on one of the boxes.
Funds will be used to build boxes, buy quality soil, fertilizer and plants

Green Thumb - Lend a hand to the Flux Community Garden project.
Help plant the garden and tend to our mini urban farm through the summer and fall
(first planting date will be announced shortly)

Athletic Camp at Flux

This Flux camp will be led by Darci Anderson, one of the Provincial coaches for the Saskatchewan Junior Olympic Weightlifting team.

Flux offers a strength & conditioning program that is of the highest order. Our focus at Flux is movement education. This means that above and beyond the critical development of strength, power, speed and muscle endurance, we concentrate on joint integrity and mobility. We help athletes become exceptional movers.

After an initial movement assessment, your teen will be provided with his or her own program prescription for the duration of the camp. This individualized attention will ensure that weaknesses (which often lead to injuries) are identified and addressed. In addition to their physical training, athletes will also learn about nutrient dense food and the connection between food, health and athleticism.

This camp is geared towards teens aged 12 to 16 who want to establish a strong foundation for their long term athletic development. This camp is for the teen who wants to be prepared for the rigors of the competition season.
At Flux we work with athletes from various sports, including hockey, football, lacrosse, track and field, swimming, speed skating, cycling, kayaking and many more.

Space is limited; group capped at 12 athletes.

Dates: July 20th to August 7th
4 days per week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday @ 4pm
90 minute sessions
$330 + GST

*Already enrolled in the Flux Teen Program? Participate in 90 minute sessions on your regularly scheduled days at no extra cost.

The Next Two Weeks

Hiya Flux Folks,

Below is a general outline of what you can expect in the next 2 weeks of CrossFit programming.

I hope everyone enjoyed finding their training maxes on the olympic lifts last week. You will notice we have some more complexes for both the snatch and the clean and jerk this week and you can expect to see more of these for another 2 weeks.

You will also see some upper body weight complexes as well - strict hspu, toes to bar, pull ups, followed by kipping.

We will also continue with our higher volume, lighter load, fast tempo front and back squats.

Happy Moving!

Darci
