#WODSwap November (CLOSED)!

by ~jenniferlynn on November 5, 2014

in #WODSwap, CrossFit

I was overwhelmed by the initial interest that my #WODSwap post got with over 40 people interested in the US, and many more from outside!

Because of this, I am going to try and offer this up to anyone in the world! HOWEVER.. if you are the only one in your country, there is a possibility that we may need to skip you this month unless someone is willing to pay for international shipping. I am assuming this will be a one-off instance, but since this is the first month – I am willing to trial it!

Since this is the first month, I am hoping that things run smoothly, but will also use this as a learning experience to improve upon the program in the future. PLEASE email, tweet, message, holler my way if you have any suggestions on how to make this better or any future enhancements to the program! Also, if anyone wants to design a fancier logo for this, send me your mock-ups!

Sign up HERE!!

Let’s revisit the rules:

  • If you sign up today you are COMMITTING to sending a package in November, so please do not sign up if you cannot commit to this, please!
  • You will have to re-sign up each month, so no worries about being locked in forever!
  • Every month, you get matched up with another person who loves to WOD (You can WOD at a box, at home, in a globo gym, honestly, don’t even need to be someone who Crossfits!).
  • I’ll send you your WOD Buddy’s email address by the 10th of the month (probably sooner in the future). Send your pairing a friendly note, introduce yourself, where you WOD, what you like to do, share something interesting about you. From here, you can chat a bit, find out what he or she likes/dislikes, get to know each other, and get his/her address.
  • With a budget of $25, send your WOD buddy a package of goodies. Some ideas are a shirt from your home box, headbands, tank tops, t-shirts, socks, wrist wraps, shorts, tape, grips, or maybe something to aid in recovery. Get creative!!! (Note: I purchase most of my CF gear online, so keep the timing in mind when signing up!)
  • Send out your package by the 25th of the month.
  • Instagram, tweet, blog, share your goodie box in the first week of the next month and use the hashtag #WODSwap!
  • I am not responsible for anything that happens once the pairing is done, so please be fair and participate at your own risk. By signing up, you are granting me permission to use your email for any communication relative to the #WODSwap only

The sign-up for November will be open today and end Sunday night, 11:59pm. Matches will be sent out November 10!

Sign up HERE!!

Once you receive your package, come back here and share what you got!

Hey Jen – Quick question: if we sign up, can we opt out month to month? I definitely would like to do it for a few months, but I don’t know if I would want to do it EVERY month?

So just wanted to tell you, absolutely love this! As I have mentioned (or complained) about before, I’m on a rather tight budget right now that this doesn’t fit into, but I’d love to participate post-wedding. Good luck with it!!!
