Happy Hour at the Bar

January 20, 2017

Hey y’all,

We haven’t been using the blog as much since Wodify keeps you up to date on the daily workouts but I wanted to keep everyone in the loop on a couple of changes.

Mainly the Happy Hour at the Bar class which is now the official workout for Friday at 6pm and will feature some sort of barbell cycling and beer. This week will be super fun with a Thruster Ladder featuring 5 barbells. You can of course do the crossfit wod if you prefer but the barbell complex will be the coached class.

Also, Sundays now feature open gym until 2 pm and then Oly class with Kayla from 2 to 3.

I hope to see you there!
