Who wants to be the King and Queen of Prussia!?!
On July 10th, in the spirit of the CrossFit Games, your CrossFit KoP Coaches will host a tournament for all non-coaching members of the gym. Athletes will compete in up to four workouts and when all the dust has settled, the top man and woman will be crowned the King and Queen of Prussia. In addition to bragging rights for the year, the winners will have their names engraved on trophies that will proudly display in the main lobby. It is our goal to make this inaugural tournament a long lasting tradition at KoP that you anticipate each and every year. We encourage you to participate and take this opportunity to have your family and friends come and watch you compete.

How about a strength class or optional strength component to class.

Aimee Lyons said...

Joe - Your wish is my command...That is actually what I'm going to morph the Level 2 class into...and I want to add another L2 during the week/end.

Aimee Lyons said...

Jen B. we miss you!

Melanie said...

How about a skills day for all (not just level 2)? Perhaps set up into three 20 minutes stations with 3 different coaches to go through some lifting skills? Each person could then rotate to each station. Just an idea...

I can't wait to hear about everything you guys learned at yoru cert. The whole coaching staff is getting more and more impressive with their different "specialties" and certifications. It makes it even a better place to be a part of!
