Spring cleaning!

See what we did there?

We’re all feeling it. The doldrums of the PNW winter. Let’s start thinking ahead to the warm days of spring we enjoy so much!  It’s not only time to clean out our closets, it’s also a great time to revisit our fitness goals or set new ones. Summer is right around the corner. Maybe a marathon? Maybe an obstacle race? Maybe hiking Rainer? Maybe it’s turning off Netflix? We can help!

FREE, NO OBLIGATION CLASS

We invite you to join us for our upcoming free, no obligation Community CrossFit Class!

  • Saturday, March 31st at 12:00 PM

These classes can be ‘just sweaty’ or ‘super tough’. We’ll guide you through it! All levels of experience and fitness welcome. Let us show you how we can make CrossFit approachable for everyone! You can RSVP here.

Wonder Weekend

– The weekly CGO Event for 18.2 was LIVE AS F*CK!
– So many records were broken at the Arnold Fitness Festival in Columbus, OH over the weekend

As far as the FCFio goes, y’all are killing it! The current trend is that from week to week we see more and more athletes hitting the Rx workouts, and completing movements they didn’t think possible!
