How many of you did the CrossFit Online Judges Course this year? Yes, we know it’s no longer required for many people unless your goal is to judge at the Regional (or higher) level.
The reason I ask that so many people take it is because it proves your training correct. It describes your CrossFit movement knowledge base and understanding the importance of standards. For many it improves their technique, or at least becomes a tool to help realize the mistakes made along with way.

As of this week, the 12pm Thursday CrossFit class has been removed from our schedule for attendance and scheduling considerations. We will run CrossFit at 11AM followed by 12pm HellaFit on Thursdays going forward. This change also aligns Thursdays to match our current Tuesday mid-day schedule.
If down the road we find that the demand is there, we will add it back.
Today’s the day! Turn in your FCF BINGO sheets to a coach or the office by end of day to be entered into the PRIZE drawings!
