It's time for another week at the gym. Here is Erin's break down for our group CrossFit classes for the week.

The day has finally arrived, and it’s time for the notorious work, “Chad.” We know this workout can take athletes north of 60 minutes to complete. There are timing notes for you and are also providing an Alternative workout if you feel this is a better option for your athletes. Please see the coach notes for additional options to help you finish. For Tuesday, we have an upper-body dominant gymnastic ladder where athletes will climb up for 8:00, rest, and then erase their reps, going back down for a time. It’s Wednesday, and it’s time for another wall ball/burpee progression workout. On Thursday, it’s another climb the ladder, which only gets harder as athletes will be tasked with increased reps and calories until the end. Then, it’s time for a high heart rate shoulder burner that will attack you relentlessly. Our partner workout for Saturday is another chipper, but we are going through it twice, and it’s going to burn.
