Programming Overview: March 25-31

You’ll see something a bit different in how our programming is laid out week to week this next month. Instead of a 5 day cycle where you see the the same movements on the same day of each week we are moving to a 6 day cycle in hopes to give a bit more variety to those who can only make certain days. For example, our squat cycle is on Monday of this week but won’t come around again until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. You will also see a few days here and there that are designed to work on skills (like handstands this Wednesday). We are going to try this new layout over the month of April and reassess. Let us know what you think!
