Changes to This Weekend's Schedule

Remember there is NO 12pm Group class, Active Recovery and CrossFit Kids class this Saturday due to the CF Games Open Sectionals.  All other classes run as regularly scheduled. 

Canes: Not Just for Pimps Anymore!

Three (count 'em) new TheraCanes arrived yesterday!  Have a hard to reach knot in your back? Grab the 'cane and use one of the 6 strategically placed balls (HA!) to work it out!  There are a couple of a handy dandy manuals in the gym as well if you're looking for ideas on how to hit those hard to reach spots.
