“Success is a decision, not a gift.”

Ben Bergeron

Announcements:

  • Ben is out of town until Wednesday. We do not have a coach for Tuesday’s 7:30am class, so we will need to cancel that one.

  • You may notice I’ve shifted the language on our “Strength/Skill” portion to “Accessory.” These are often strength, but this term seems to be a better fit for how to approach this segment. The WOD, which can sometimes be strength work, is the focus of the class. “Accessory” work is essential, obviously, but should have a secondary focus compared to the WOD. Think “extra credit” work!

  • “12 Days of Christmas” WOD Saturday, Dec. 20. This is a yearly tradition for us. If you’d like, wear your holiday attire, bring any holiday snacks or drinks to share, etc. We’ll have holiday music and a “fun” WOD to throw down on together.
