Today we begin a new tradition at Thermal: Member WODs. We will be recognizing long-standing members of our gym who embody the culture of CrossFit. Much like the Hero or Girl WODs on main site, this workout will be designed to fit our recognized member: it will include movements that they enjoy or are particularly good at, plus it will include numbers (reps, sets, rounds, etc) that are of significance to that person.

Thank you to everyone that came out today. It was a great day for a great cause! In order to accommodate different people’s schedules, we are rotating the days that we bench and press.

Press on Thurs 10/30, Thurs 11/6, Friday 11/14, Thurs 11/20. 1RM tests will be 11/24 (bench) and 11/25 (press). Don’t forget to use the Forge if you need to make up a day. Getting your 3×5 in should only take 20 minutes tops and can be done before or after a WOD.  Read more
