Hey Old Cityzens!

Okay.. I’m late! But I’m not going to make the ol’ “read your newsletter!” post to make up for my tardiness. There have been a couple announcements posted on the front whiteboard that I want to make sure get some press.

President’s Day
Monday February 17th – 5:30-7pm – Old City CrossFit Total
We’ve done the CrossFit Total (Find your 1RM in the back squat, strict press, deadlift) in the past a couple times, but we have a NEW event for you this year. The class schedule for that day will be be the same through the 4:30 class where they will do the daily WOD taht is programmed. Then we’ll have a special 90-minute class from 5:30-7pm for you to complete the following.
– Power clean 1RM
– Push press 1RM
– Back squat 1RM
– 500m row

Show up early to get in a good warm up, and Coach Jason will lead you through each movement.


Friends & Family WOD
The last Saturday of every month, you will be able to bring as many friends and family members in to the gym for either the 9 or 10am CF class, FREE OF CHARGE! We will have a partner/team WOD programmed on these days with lots of scaling and movement options for those friends and family who might be very new or nervous about Crossfit; don’t worry though, there will still be more challenging versions of each WOD for those of you looking for a harder sweat.

We want everyone to see how awesome Crossfit can be for people of any and all fitness levels (and give you a chance to show off all your sick gainz)!

The first bring your friend day will be Sat, Feb. 29th! Please have your guests signup in advance HERE.
