Open News for this Friday, 2022 Benchmark Skills and Lifts, and Congrats to our Member of the Month!! 2021 Mad Mullets The 2022 Open is here!  This Friday you’ll experience one of the most exhilarating workout environments that you can imagine.  Come for the workout, stay to show your support, and hang out in our weekly post Open socials.  As you know, each week will carry a theme for Friday’s event.  For week one the theme is “Team Spirit”.  So in order for you team to be awarded the 5 points for “Theme”, you’ll have to be the team that most embodies the idea of “Team Spirit”.  What does that mean?  That’s up to you and your team, its being loosely defined purposely with the hopes that you make it your own and have some fun with it.  Maybe the dogs come in with collars on?  Maybe the “Mad Mullets”...Read more
