Friday-friday is considered to be a rest day, however the gym will be open to come in and make up a workout that you may have missed earlier in the week.  A considerable amount of effort is going into programming to ensure all domains are covered in the most efficient means possible.  We realize that most people are doing crossfit to be able to do other things, so we want to make sure that burnout does not occur and the body is able to adequately recover (while still making significant gains of course
Saturday-9-12 will be open gym o-lifting for all crossfiters.  There will be programs set up to walk you through progressions on the lifts and both brad and I will be there to help you all out, but the focus will be on developing technique keeping weights nice and light.  Saying that, there will also be the opportunity to develop strength by doing squat/deadlift/press pavels during this time as well.

There will also be an Olympic weightlifting club that will run Tuesday 7:30-9:30pm, Friday 6-7:30pm, Sat 9-12, Sun 12-3.  No experience is necessary, crossfiters are more than welcome!
