Tonight at Littlefield: Juranimal
Tonight at littlefield, Lauren B.‘s good friend will be performing with one of his bands from 9pm to 1am. They play the whole gamut of cover songs, so it’s always lots of dancing and lots of fun. And there’s no cover. So, if you’re around go over and check it out!
News and Notes
- Today’s 10am Yoga for Athletes class is cancelled. Yoga for Athletes will be cancelled for the rest of August while Coach Whit is out of town. Class will resume on September 2nd!
- Kids Club Night, originally scheduled for tonight at 6, is cancelled. If your child was signed up, the front desk will be in touch about your refund. We will, of course, keep you posted on future Kids Club events right here on the blog!
- TOMORROW: Coach Jeremy and Coach Margie’s Starting Strengthers will wrap up their eight-week cycle starting at 2:00pm. Lifters will be testing their 1RMs in the Back Squat, Press, and Deadlift. All are welcome to come by, hang out, and do some cheering.
- Good news! We’ve changed the date of the Subway Series so that it no longer conflicts with Flex on the Beach. CrossFit Gantry will now host the 1st event of the Series, and we’ll host the 3rd on Saturday, October 14th.
