Closed Monday: Indigenous People’s Day


JT Scott | 10/13/2019 |

Just a few reminders:

1) The CrossFit Open is in progress! We had a fun first week. Every Friday night for the next few weeks our regular class schedule will be replaced by a series of judged “Competition-Style” heats, and you need to be signed up both to compete and to judge! If you want to participate with a judge, send info@crossfitsomerville.com a note and we’ll make sure you have the link to the scheduling spreadsheet. Workouts are released Thursday night, so that’s when we find out how much time we need for each heat… and then we send out an email to folks doing the Open that night to let people know what to expect.

2) We’re closed for Indigenous People’s Day on Monday. The City of Somerville officially made the change over to this holiday last year, and I’m very glad we did; “honorably purchased from Pawtuckets” doesn’t really tell the story of what happened here in Somerville though. The holiday may not mean much without context, so if you’d like to attend a local event that may convey some of the spirit of the holiday, there’s this one at Harvard from 2-5pm and another one at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum all day from 10am-5pm.
