Congrats to both of our teams who went down to Taylor, TX and competed in the Killswitch Team Competition. Our RX team even took home 3rd place! Well done everyone!
It’s going down this Saturday!
In honor of our 7th birthday we are putting on an in-house partner mini competition we are calling the East Dallas Throwdown. The competition will take place this Saturday, September 29th, from 8-11:00ish. There will be three WODs. Two will be released beforehand (check out Instagram feed) while one will be kept a secret for the day of the competition.
Partners will need to be teams of two of either male/male or female/female. The competition is free and we will have 7th anniversary shirts for sale too! Have a partner already locked down? Please register by completing both of the following steps below:
- Sign up for the competition through Zen Planner by going HERE.
- Input both you and your partner’s names, your team name, and your preferred division HERE.
A note about divisions. RX won’t be anything crazy but you must be able to complete kipping pull-ups, 95/65lb thrusters, 185/125 deadlifts, 24/20″ box jumps. If you can’t then please hop in with the scaled division. We will also have a masters division!
Oh and we are heading to Bryan Street Tavern afterwards for food, drinks, football watching, and volleyball from 12-2pm. Can’t make the competition? Join us afterwards!
