A new Barbell Fundamentals class starts tonight! There is no better way to get a complete introduction to the Sn**ch, Clean & Jerk and to increase the effectiveness of your practice!
However, with Worlds, the American Open and other projects I have coming up (not to mention coaching), I've been delinquent in getting the word out about this class that I'm really very proud of.
So I'm offering something very special and allowing folks to come to try out the first class tonight for FREE with no obligation to the rest of the course!
There are limited spots however (less than 10), so I'll be offering them on a first come, first served basis. Once the spots are filled, if you show up and haven't reserved one I will be sending you home to reschedule!
Shoot me a message now to reserve your spot for tonight's Barbell Fundamentals class at Tough Temple CrossFit Nebel St in Rockville from 5pm-6:30pm!
