Summer is in full-swing, meaning a 4th of July workout and some sticky weather. Note that there's only one class on Monday 7/4 - 9AM. We wrapped up a running series in June, with participants making big progress in understanding and appreciating how to progress in their running. CFTC also partnered with our Pilates neighbors up the street for a joint Pilates and CrossFit class.
Keep reading for details on a fun happy hour to look forward to and updated progress on summer attendance awards.
Our Kids and Teens programs continue to expand, and if you know of friends or family wanting to check out these classes or our standard group class offerings, July and August are great times to try a class and work it into your schedule for the fall.
Stay safe and Happy Fourth!
