Happy New Year, CFK!

What’s up athletes! Coach Emily and I have worked on getting a new format for your weekly newsletter. We wanted it to be more interactive and user-friendly, hope you enjoy!

Now, back by popular demand, here is some small insight into next week’s programming!

CrossFit

Monday is going to be a take on a classic girl WOD (Helen).

Tuesday will be for you wall ball warriors.

Wednesday is going to have some heavy barbells. If you’ve been consistent, we are getting heavy today!

Thursday you will pick a buddy and get after it.

Friday has a crowd favorite, or least favorite; wall walks.

Saturday is yet another take on a classic girl WOD (Fran).

Burn

Monday and Friday you have brand new benchmark workouts!

Don’t miss out this week, kick the new year off right!

The best part is, you do all this for your accountability partner, too. Read More…
