- August Challenge – Hydrate!! Our weather here in NC makes this even more critical if that’s even possible. The goal is to drink half your body weight in ounces plus 16 more ounces. So if you weigh 200lbs you must drink 116 oz per day
- Reserve your spot in Wodify – Please remember to hold your place in class up to 24 hours in advance. Some class times are hitting capacity and the coach can not allow you to work out if that happens and your place in not reserved
- Renewed Commitment to Safety & Cleaning – Let’s all do a better job wiping down equipment before putting it away but also a renewed commitment to wiping down the rig and each piece of equipment with our Antibacterial wipes. And of course if you’re feeling sick/contagious please just stay home until it passes
- Intrabox Competition <SAVE THE DATE> Sat Nov 6 2021 – We will share more details soon but PLEASE do your best to be a part of this. I promise it will be a fun time and we will find a way to incorporate a charity.

Programming this week
Week 33. We are in the middle of some pretty intense fitness prep. As a refresher the goal of this phase is to get more comfortable moving our bodies with a higher hate rate. It is intended to improve general capacity and transfer strength and power gains from previous cycles into performance. Workouts are intense and strength pieces will challenge everyone. In our strength portions we’ve got snatches, bar muscle ups, squats and strict presses and in our metcons we’ve sprinkled lots of triplet and couplets including more Rope climbs and some pretty high rep gymnastics
Monday
• Heavy Snatch work with some barbell cycling
Tuesday
• More upper body pulling & power endurance with a very balanced & fun triplet that mixes weightlifting, metabolic, & gymnastics
Wednesday
• Final week of the Back Squat progression followed by our high intensity day
Thursday
• Pure Endurance couplet
Friday
• Strict press work that starts nonchalant but gets pretty spicy! Then we get to enjoy a balanced high intensity AMRAP
Saturday
• Coach Seth leads us thru a partner journey with some of our best girl friends!
Sunday
• Aggressive interval work that will not be comfortable!
Thanks again everyone
Each week our community proves it is the best around
