End Of Our High Bar Back Squat Cycle

The end of our high bar back squat cycle ends today. Come on in to find out how all that hard work has paid off by finding a new one rep max.

The new gym is coming along! Take a look at the fresh signage as you are making your way to the old place. A big thanks goes out to everyone who helped out again this weekend (Jeffrey, Jill, and Bryan). Now all we need is some lights and electricity…

Last night’s Shave The Date

Registration for Barbells & Handlebars is now open! Cost of entry is $30 which also gets you a t-shirt. Register now because there are limited spots available! If you are hesitant because this is a “competition”, don’t be. There is an advanced and intermediate division and it will just be like any other WOD your have tackled in regular class except with a lot more hype around it! Still not convinced? We need volunteers and would love for you to come and help out! You can also sign up to volunteer by clicking the link.

Shave The Date was a success! Had a great group of people show last night to start fresh and shave their face in preparation for Movember. Click here to check out the photos.
