A Couple of Things

A few reminders for everybody. We will begin moving this weekend. Saturday and Sunday we will be spending the day at the new facility moving, unloading, sawing, hanging, and screwing things together. We can use any and all helping hands. Saturday there will only be an 8:00 AM class, followed by a 9:00 AM kids class. Moving will begin around 9:30 AM, and we will work for the day. Whether you can help for 45 minutes, or all day, any and all help is appreciated. Hit the link below to put down any tools, or other items you might have to bring. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AuAycMvW9E6rdEJURklXd01uSTJvenQtZi1Jb2VQUXc#gid=0 This Friday the CrossFit Open begins for us. We will begin running heats at 5:00 PM on Friday (you can show up as early as 4:00 to begin moving around and warming up). There will be no structured class. Anyone…

It was awesome to see so many people jump up and work on handstand lowers, or handstand push-ups. Great little workout with conditioning movements that kept getting the heart rate up more and more as the workout went on. Have a great weekend everybody and enjoy the sunshine. Cheers.
