Rest Day

We just want to let everyone know that next week  Lars will be teaching a CrossFit Fundamentals class on Wednesday and Friday at 7pm. In this class , he will be familiarizing people with the 9 basic lifts of CrossFit which are the building blocks to all other movements that we teach. We highly recommend that you participate in at least 2 classes . Our #1 concern is your safety and by taking the time to familiarize yourselves with the lifts will be extremely beneficial . We will also be opening Sunday mornings from 9am-12pm, starting next Sunday. It will still be a scheduled rest day, but we will be open for 3 hours for those that want to come in and work on some skills or to do a WOD that you missed earlier in the week.
