October has wrapped up and so has the Lifestyle Challenge. For the last 30 days nearly 100 Athletes participated in the yearly nutritional challenge where we broke bad habits, met fitness goals and learned a thing or two about food choices. Although only three teams could stand atop the podium, every team in the challenge saw great results and made changes that will truly affect their lifestyle. The winter months are upon us and with them comes so many events in the Box. November, or shall we say, RowVember has begun. So keep your eye on the leader boards at the Box to see who will be crowned the next champion. During the month of November we will also be holding the EOD Memorial Workout, a HSPU clinic and an outdoor Thanksgiving WOD. Scroll down to read more and support the EOD cause.
Lets not forget December!
The third annual Holiday Amazing Race is scheduled for December 12th, tickets are now on sale. The last two years saw more than 100 Athletes running through Ardmore completing WODs, challenges and trivia. So don’t put off buying your tickets, the event is capped at 100 Athletes and tickets will sell fast.
December 19th will again play host to our CrossFit Holiday party at Kelly’s Pub in Bryn Mawr. Make sure to save the date, book the babysitter and show up for the open bar! So….Don’t miss out. After all, you’re a BIG part of our CrossFit community. Scroll down, read more about the events and make sure you mark your calendar. See you at the Box! Daniel & Merrilee
