“Building a better self is more than eliminating bad habits; it’s about creating new, positive, fulfilling ones.

NEWS

Let’s address The Open- we will be treating this year’s Open as a 5 week, In House Competition.  Everyone will be participating for free! All Open WODs will be held on Saturday at 10am. Athletes will have Friday, Sunday, and Monday Open Gym to make up any missed workouts.  You guys will then enter your scores in Zen Planner and I will create a custom leader-board for our box. If you are having any issues with your Zen Planner profile this is the week we straighten you out!  This will be a really fun and new take on the Open and personally I’m embracing this new chapter in CrossFit.

Gorilla Season ¾ shirts are all ready to go for you guys!  Come get them at the sign in desk all this week. I will be taking pre-orders for our next batch of shirts as well- stay tuned!

The 631 Pound for Pound Strongman Competition is gathering some good momentum.  Feel free to invite friends and family and reach out to anyone you think would be a good fit as a sponsor.  Let’s celebrate our amazing community with another killer event.

COMMUNITY

Last week was our monthly Box Night Out and it went amazing!  I’m so lucky to be surrounded by the best community possible. It was a really great turn out and we certainly put a hurting on that sushi!  Nights like these make me so proud to be a part of something bigger than myself- it silences all the imposters and shows that amazing things happen to genuine people.  More on next month’s Box Night Out next week.

PROGRAMMING

This week we will be breaking down all our main lifts in our strength work with coach led drills and skills sessions.  Be prepared to focus on DB Rows, OHS, Split Jerks, and Power Snatches for the next few weeks. Have some previous 1RM numbers in mind so we can develop our periodizations from there.
