Upcoming events

Last week we announced the Olympic Lifting Seminar on October 3rd  with Coach Wilkes from CrossFit Chesapeake.  There has been a lot of interest in attending already, and space will be somewhat limited.   You may now officially sign up for the seminar here.  Cost is $140, and is worth every penny!  Ask any of the Coaches if you have any questions - and get ready to dial in your form and set some PR's!!

And, on Friday Sept. 10th, save the evening for a happy hour at the box.  We will have a brief discussion on food and diet.  Bring a Paleo dish to share.  Let's see those cooking skills, and enjoy the company of your fellow CrossFitters.

And speaking of food, we will be hosting a full blown nutrition seminar the end of January.  Full details will come soon, but this will be an event not to miss!  We are also working to set up a once a month happy hour at one of our local restaurants.  And yes - we will be setting the menu!

Finally - don't forget to sign up for Fight Gone Bad 5.   Click register, and sign up for the CrossFit Blacksburg team.  This is a nationwide CrossFit Fund raiser for the Wounded Warrior Foundation and Livestrong.  Join us on Saturday September 25th for a great workout for 2 great causes.  The workout will not count  against your weekly visits, so sign up, raise some money, and get ready to sweat!


Welcome back Mark!  Nothing like running 400m with a kettlebell to get you going again!
