Skills Session Saturday: Kipping!
UPDATE: With the snow still falling and the driving ban in effect, Saturday classes are CANCELED.
With that said, JT will be shoveling snow at 8:30am to clear the sidewalks and parking lot, and he invites any of you in walking distance to come help! Also: Artisan’s Asylum is planning a snow fight in the square with DJs and other fun, so check out their facebook event and come play at 1pm on Saturday!

The CrossFit Games Open season is almost here! Registration happens at THIS LINK. It’s free, and it’s fun. Aside from the “competition” aspect, it’s a series of 5 WODs over 5 weeks where we can gather together en masse to cheer each other through… and at the end you can see how your score compares to athletes around the world. It’s kinda like “Hands Across America”, only with chalk and sweat.
To prepare for the season, we’re going to start a series of Skills Sessions: an hour to get together outside of class and work on specific skills that are likely to come up in the series of Open Workouts. This is your chance to get more coaching and work on your goats!
This Saturday, Nick and Brian have worked up an excellent syllabus to review KIPPING for pullups. We’ll be hosting this session at 9am on Saturday morning – before the regular Saturday WOD so you’ll be nice and fresh when reviewing technique. Though if you do want an extra warm up before hand, we have a large parking lot that JT shovels by himself every time it snows.
Standard Saturday WOD afterwards, with JT at the helm. See y’all on Saturday!
I might build one of these in front of the door.
So are all Friday classes cancelled?
Not yet. If instructors can’t make it there, I’ll be there to run stuff. Stay tuned, of course.
Can we come to the skill session if we have used all of our classes for the week?
I honestly thought the name of the storm was Nero. “Nemo” now seems instantly about half as threatening. Maybe less.
Ben, did you fix the rower this morning? Mysteriously it was fixed today!
So the answers:
1) YES you can come to the skill session – it’s a bonus for all of you, doesn’t count as one of your weekly classes.
2) SOMEWHAT cancelling classes: the morning and noon classes are happening Friday, but the evening is cancelled. Unless I decide to go unlock the gym. But you’ll have to help shovel before any WODing happens.
3) NO Nemo is not a good name for a storm. And
4) DEFINITELY NOT buying the hype about this, but when they close the T it gets tough for Yosh to make it to and from classes.
