“According to physics, bumblebees can’t fly, but nobody ever explained physics to bumblebees, so they fly around anyway.”

Ben Bergeron

Announcements:

  • “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.

  • If you are looking for a thorough and effective review of many of the basic movements we often work in CrossFit, I highly recommend taking the 2026 CrossFit Open Judges Course. It’s all online, affordable ($10), and you can move through it at your own pace. I just completed the course and highly recommend it for our members!
