PARTNER WOD TODAY!
Let's help Kelly & Alex "pack and move" to California with a little packing and moving of our own today. Don't forget about the going-away shindig...2 p.m. at the Hermitage O'Charley's.

At 3-2-1-Go, you and your partner will move ALL of the equipment in your station across the gym to the platform where you will complete the following:
60 KB Swings
50 Partner Deadlifts (yes, both people on the bar at the same time)
40 Ground-to-Overhead
30 Plate Burpees
20 Box Jumps (alternate jumpers each time)

After this list is complete, you will disassemble everything and move it back across the gym to your starting point. Your WOD is complete only when everything is back in its place exactly as you found it.

Rules, weights, and further explanations are on the whiteboard.

Please mark your calendars - we have two fun things to note for this Saturday, April 20. First, we'll have a partner workout to help Kelly and Alex "pack and move" back to California. Pair up with anyone you'd like to work with; it's not imperative that you both be on the exact same level...male/female teams are completely fine, too. Next, we're planning to get together early that evening for a little good-bye shindig at "Club O'Charley's" in Hermitage (time TBD...maybe 5 p.m. or so).

Now...for today's workout: we hope you enjoyed the de-load week.  Let's kick it back into gear with the "Filthy Fifty" WOD!

Your Bison orders are almost ready! We picked everything up today and the freezer is full...we just need to inventory what we have so we can separate accordingly. Bring your coolers on Saturday (or anytime next week) to pick up the goods after class.
Don't forget about PaleoWorks, the veggie CSA, and the Grass Fed beef CSA.  If you want the easiest, most convenient way to eat clean, you need to call these vendors and get your accounts set up.

Show some love to our Paleo Challenge peeps - they are in the homestretch and have less than 25 days left to finish their 90-day adventure! Whether you're in a strict Paleo window, eating about 80/20, or just learning about healthy nutrition...we could all use a reminder to eat clean.  It's a process to dial in your nutrition and make the right decisions, but you owe it to your body to figure it out and provide the right fuel for your performance.
Don't forget - we have three super easy methods of getting fresh, clean food delivered to you at the box: PaleoWorks, a veggie CSA, and a Grass Fed meat CSA.  It doesn't get much easier!




Strength:

You guys come in here and work hard every day...but none of that matters if you don't eat healthy and fuel your body for the performance you're working so hard to achieve.  We want to help and make it as easy as possible for each of you to eat healthy, so we now have THREE OPTIONS for whole, clean foods (aka Paleo) to be delivered to the box just for you! By now you should know about PaleoWorks: weekly pre-made Paleo meals delivered here every Monday morning. We are also happy to share details of a new vegetable CSA and a Grass Fed meat CSA.  You can sign up for these services now and have bushels of veggies and assortments of frozen meat delivered HERE for you from May through October.  Details are on the flyers in the lobby.
