By signing up on games.crossfit.com, you can see how you stack up in the gym, in your town, in your state, by age, gender, any way you want to slice it. You’ll be posting your scores up there every week, showing the world your fitness.
The Open runs for 5 weeks. The workouts are announced Thursday nights at 8pm starting next week. We will be doing the workouts in class on Fridays. Each Friday night, join us to throwdown and/or just to cheer on your friends! We are going to turn each week into an event, an event that celebrates our gym, our community, and our fitness.

New Specialty Class: ENDURANCE!
Starting February 26th, Coach Colin will be leading an Endurance Class on Thursday nights at 5:30pm! This class is open to all our membership types (Unlimited, 3/week, Punch Card) at no additional cost. Feel like your aerobic endurance is lacking or you just can’t seem to catch your breath during workouts? Adding some Endurance work to your weekly training might be just what you need to round out your fitness! Since we currently reside in a frozen hellscape, the first cycle of this Endurance class is going to focus on Rowing. And as such, we have to limit class size to 12. So here is the link to Sign-up for the first session of this class on Feb. 26th: https://whaling-city-crossfit.theboxhq.com/schedule/966287/register/
