TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS

Do you write down the results of every training session? You should! We’re starting a new strength cycle this week. For the next six weeks we’ll be doing a different lift each day of the week, so WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU LIFT. This week we’re doing sets of 10 reps. Next week will be sets of 5 reps… then in two weeks, we go back to sets of 10 and aim to go up a little in weight from this week’s numbers. There will be a burpee penalty for not knowing your strength numbers… WRITE IT DOWN!

Fran Finals are this week!

CrossFit Midtown’s first challenge, the Frantastic Voyage, wraps up this Saturday, July 28. Join your fellow CFMers this weekend as we shoot to improve on our prelim Fran times.
We’ll have heats at 10 and 11 (warm up starts on the hour. Heats at 10:30, 10:45, 11:30 and 11:45) followed by the REAL FUN: a cookout and awards ceremony starting at noon…there may or may not be vodka.
Can’t make it Saturday? There will be one makeup heat on Wednesday, 7/25 at 7pm. Sign up for your heat on the whiteboard this week. Email us to confirm whether you’ll DOMINATE Fran on Wed at 7, Sat at 10 or Sat at 11.
What if I’m new to CFM and missed the Fran Prelims? We don’t want you to miss a date with Fran! New members are also welcome to join us for the Fran finals. Just sign up for a Saturday heat time on the white board.

Stay tuned for details on our next big test, the WHOLE LIFE CHALLENGE, starting in mid September!

  1. Booya. 600 fans. Carlos Tapia, Kenley Osborne, are we still doing Single Ladies or do we need some easier choreography to get this dance posted this week?
