Whole Life Challenge: This kicks off on May 2. We have over 20 athletes signed up and I believe this is going to be a life changing experience for many. I'm really excited to put some focused energy on nutrition, stretching, stress management, and lifestyle choices with the accountability and support of the community backing me up. There is still time to sign up if you want to be a part of this. And why wouldn't you? The Kickoff Event is Friday May 1st at 6 PM. All athletes participating need to complete the intake workout on Friday either during regular class time, at the Kickoff Event, or make arrangements with a coach to get it done. We will do weights and measurements and confirm Challenge Levels during this time as well.

Make gains in your chosen sport by putting focused work into your mental and physical game this summer.  More details coming, but this will be a comprehensive program running Monday thru Friday. Middle School crew meets from 9-10:30. High school crew meets from 10:30-12. Email tracie@crossfitcatacombs.com for more info.

Look for this in the next week by the back door and get ready to start tackling some benchmark workouts and knowing once and for all what those 1 rep maxes are!
