The Professionals

60 Day Challenge - Day 15   We're 1/4 of the way there!

Don't forget that the Holiday Paleo Pot Luck Party is this Sunday at 4pm.  Bring your friends and family for the fun!  Be there, or be left out in the cold with no yummy food and no awesome CFBB community!!

There's a misconception out there, and I need your help in dispelling it.  I often hear from folks who are interested in training at CrossFit Blacksburg that they "need to get in shape first."  That's just silly and ridiculous!  That's our job, to get people fit!  And we all know of the scalability of our workouts.  So if you hear from your buddy that he has to go to the Globo Gym first to get ready for CrossFit, tell him not to waste his time.  Come straight to the professionals! 

Wow.  Stef is a professional!
