Temporary Schedule Change

Throughout the next five weeks we’ll be running a special weekly 10am-12pm FCF Intramural Open Event for those competing in the Open and the #FCFio2017.

Instead of our usual Saturday schedule we will have an 8am and 9am CrossFit classes for those who just want to sweat.

There will also be a special 9am “OPEN PREP” class with me for the next five Saturdays. This optional class is designed to breakdown the workout, strategize your work and rest sets, and provide you a relevant warmup.

Remember to RSVP for all of your classes!
