Today we'll spend 30 minutes finding your 1 rep max Turkish Get Up.  Not only is this is a benchmark lift for us, it will also come up at the next Subway Series event at CrossFit Virtuosity. Afterward, we'll work on your muscle-up.

Welcome back, Claire!

Congratulations to Brian Z for achieving his goal of getting up the rope as well as Sarah H and Jess F on their "Annie" PRs.

Welcome to our newest Foundations Cycle starting tonight!

There is still room in our upcoming Tuesday/Thursday AM Foundations cycle.  Want to get started with us? Check it out!

Good luck to Steph P and Christine G as they gear up for the NYC Triathlon this weekend!

Correction! The flat rate for Active Recovery is $15 regardless of contract type.  We've just switched it up so that you can now use A/R as one of your group classes.  The management (David) apologizes for the mix up.

We've combined next month's pull and upper body lift.  The following cycle will look like this:
Saturday  Overhead Squat + Metcon or assistance work
Sunday  Metcon
Monday  Clean and Jerk + Metcon or assistance work
Tuesday  -REST DAY-
Wednesday  Overhead Squat + Metcon or assistance work
Thursday  Metcon
Friday  -REST DAY-

Today we'll spend 30 minutes working on your Clean and Jerk technique, afterward we'll do some rope climbing.
