Tony, a Chinese-American, and myself, a Filipino-American have been in this fitness space for over a decade. We’ve had so many great people in our gym and have met so many fantastic friends along the way.

We’re in a very difficult time at the moment, along with all the other AAPI and BIPOC family and friends who are, and have been suffering. Targeted for hate crimes and worse.

There’s no need to check-in with us. Check in with your own friends and family and talk about the recent events, and specifically the tragedy in Atlanta. If you’re not sure yourself, do some research. Discuss amongst yourselves how you can be better allies and friends.

First off, great job to everyone who came by and threw down on Saturday- so much effort in doing wall walks in a fashion we don’t practice: off the ground and for higher volumes! Thanks for not shattering your kneecaps!

Second of all, we heard you and want to make it a little more clear: we’re using the CrossFit Games Open as a testing opportunity, along with specific workouts during the week. Then our programming beginning in April will be designed to improve most aspects of what we tested.

Third, we have opened up two spots on Mondays during GT Hours for those who need to makeup or redo their work. RSVP!

Also:

So if you’re officially registered to play worldwide, make sure you submit your scores as soon as possible each time you do the weekly event!
