Week of June 5 – 10
More than a workout – Change your life!™
FTX Obstacle Course
During the summer from Memorial Day to Labor Day (weather permitting) we will dedicate the following Saturday class times to our obstacle course. During these classes we will have a special workout that incorporates our Obstacle Course. You will still be able to do Open Gym, but our focus will be the Obstacle Course. FTX is one of the few facilities that has an obstacle course, which is a great opportunity to vary your workouts that are not possible elsewhere. And if you want to do an Obstacle Course Race (OCR), then these WODs will get you ready.
- 1st Saturday of the month – 10am Class
- 3rd Saturday of the month – 11am Class
Hope you enjoyed our first run of the Obstacle Course for the year. Our next one is in two weeks.

Good-bye Coach Brian
Our primary goal at FTX is that those that enter our doors leave a better person. We are grateful for each and every person that contributes to our community and makes it better. We especially thank our coaches for their hard work, and it is with sadness that we say goodbye to Coach Brian. Brian’s final day as an FTX trainer will be June 14th. We wish Brian and Ashley the best as Brian will be taking on a sales role at a local steel manufacturer. We all are better for Brian’s contributions and know Brian will be walking out our doors a better person because of all of you.
Overview of our programming this week
In this new cycle, we are switching a focus of heavier Front Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, and some weighted gymnastic movements that will give you the best of both worlds. We will focus on gaining strength and muscle endurance in our drive and pull. Don’t worry, some Olympic lifting will be mixed into the regular workouts to sustain movement and consistency.
Strength/Skill work for this week:
Monday – Ft. Squat & Strict Wtd. Pull-ups
Tuesday –Rope Climbs
Wednesday – Bench Press & Max. Ht. Box Jump
Thursday –Deadlift & Strict HSPU
Friday – Core
Saturday – Glutes and Shoulders
To kick things off, it’s a cash-in and cash-out sandwich workout on the bike/rower with the meat being wallballs and GHDs. Then on Tuesday, let’s get those wheels turning after all the squats from the day prior! with some sprint work. Wednesday’s mid-week exercise will be an open-style Amrap with rowing, power snatches and push-ups to get your blood flowing. Thursday’s workout will be a high-intensity 3 rounder of step-ups, burpees and wall-walks where we aim for consistent and non-stop effort. Friday’s workout is similar to “Fran” with some rope work thrown in, but don’t worry, it won’t be too bad in the long run. On Saturday, we’ll switch things up with a 1:1 partner-style workout where you will work through descending rep schemes for multiple sets of rowing and power cleans.
