Trying something a little different

Nick | 06/19/2014 | 3

We’ve had pretty much the same class schedule since we opened in November of 2011. During the week of June 30th, we’re going to experiment with a slightly different evening schedule to see if we can alleviate some of the 6pm congestion. We’ll be running classes at 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30pm that week. As usual, we’re open to feedback as we want to be able to serve you and meet your needs as best we can. As for now, you will find the schedule in zen planner already adjusted for that week. Let us know what you think!
STR:

High Bar Back Squat
5-5-5-5-5

WOD:

EMOM 12
50′ bear crawl (1/2 forward, 1/2 backward)
ME double unders

Going-ons:

This Saturday, June 21, CrossFit Somerville will be running a charity WOD at the normal class time. The Squats for a School WOD will benefit Empower Charter School, the first charter school with CrossFit Kids written into the charter petition. “Empower will also integrate health/wellness into the regular school curriculum, and educate parents and the community about how to promote wellness at home.”

With obesity on the rise among children and many public education systems getting rid of physical education programs due to lack of funding, Empower Charter School is hoping to make youth physical fitness a priority. As a CrossFit Athlete, you understand the importance of physical fitness, and ingraining a mentality towards health and wellness from a young age.

The WOD will be run during our regular 10am Saturday class time, and is easily accessible for all ability levels. The requested donation for this WOD is $15, and will be in place of the standard Saturday drop-in fee. If you are planning on using one of your regular weekly classes for Saturday, a donation is not required but would be appreciated.

On SATURDAY, JUNE 28TH we are very excited to announce our first annual 5k from CrossFit Fenway to  CrossFit Somerville. CFSV is almost exactly 3.14 miles away from CFF so we thought we would kick off the summer with an in-house 5k capped off with a BBQ with both communities. Anyone is welcome to feel free to bring friends. We will head out from CrossFit Fenway at 11:30am. See you all there!
