Additional Classes

Starting this week we will be adding two classes to our schedule. Saturday: 10:30 AM class  This will be an additional class to help break up the enormous class we have been getting at 9:15 AM. As the competitive community grows within our gym, we are going to encourage all of the more competitive athletes to come in and do class at 10:30 AM so that they can train together…as an absolute beginner and everything in between we encourage anyone to come to this class if it fits their schedule, this class is not just for the “competitors.” Sunday: 9:00 AM Olympic Lifting Class We are going to be moving either Tuesday or Friday’s Olympic Lifting class to Sunday. There will continue to be a 9 person cap on this class so please make sure you sign-up via Mind Body in advance.

Two of our strength sessions each week will still be geared towards Olympic Lifting but they will have a much wider variety then what we’ve done recently. Below is…

Class “Cancelation”

This time is for you guys to come in and do the Posted WOD, not to do whatever you like, so please treat it as such. Warm-up will be on your own, coaches will be here to help you out as you need. Drive Safe!
