New Schedule Includes Open Gym

Beginning the week of December 17th we will start having open gym access for all current members. You need to be a member of CrossFit Philly for one month prior to using the facility during the open gym. All new members will need to attend group workouts for one month or 5 private training sessions prior to using the facility during open gym.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday between the hours of 6am and 9am you can come in for your Workout of The Day. The Workout of The Day will be posted each morning, with appropriate modifications for various skill levels. In addition to the Workout of The Day you will also be able to work on specific skill work that is important to your training.

Although the facility has open gym access until 9am, the latest you can start a workout is 8:30am. This will allow us time to set up for the regularly scheduled 9am group workouts. During the open gym hours there will always be a Coach onsite to monitor your workouts.

All class times at the Mt. Airy location will remain unchanged, however also starting the week of December 17th we will no longer have a 6am class in Old City on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Susan Has Far Too Much Time

Susan, has far too much time on her hands. Just yesterday I got 3, not 1, but 3 emails from her showing her creative holiday cheer. I thought I'd share some of her festive nature with everyone.

Perhaps Susan needs another challenge to prepare for, for early 2008.

Any suggestions???
