Very Special Guest

JT Scott | 03/24/2016 | 5

One thing that isn’t talked about much in our culture is how workers are treated by their employers. Those of you who have spent much time around me (or even a class or two with me) know that I have strong feelings about ethical business practices including a providing health insurance, a living wage, and sufficient time off for workers. These things aren’t mandatory in our society, but they are the right thing to do… so I do them.

The upshot of all this is that while Nick is off this week, Kirstie still needs a day off. 🙂 I’ll be coaching the noon and evening again, but morning classes will have a very special guest instructor: Eric Siegel. Eric’s a longtime friend of mine and former Head Coach at CrossFit Fenway for 6+ years. Eric’s a familiar face to any of you who have dropped in to our new Olympic Weightlifting class on Wednesday nights, and I’m sure he’ll have some great pointers on your OH Squats today.

In addition, he’ll be able to help you dial in technique for our dumbbell snatches! These are heavy and will require your focus to jump them up and stabilize them overhead. Don’t be afraid to push the weight: we bought those big heavy DBs for a reason. I <3 this WOD and strength pairing to end the week, and I’m sure you will too!
