CrossFit Open Prep
From 12:00pm-1:30pm we will have prep time for the CrossFit Open. This time is reserved for our Unlimited Members and those members that have signed up for the CrossFit Open. We will NOT be having Open Gym time. If you are unfamiliar with any of the exercises in the WODs below, then please work with a trainer sometime during the week to learn it ahead of time. The purpose of the Open Prep time is to create a competitive environment to push you harder. The focus will not be on correcting movements/technique, though if we see something unsafe we will obviously point that out.

WOD
All 3 of the above 10:00 AMRAPs
