10-10:45 a.m. - Crossfit led by Amy Chow

This class won't have you plugging away on a treadmill or staring at your biceps in the mirror. You won’t get yelled at for dropping your weights on the floor, and you certainly don’t have to hold back your grunts and screams – guys and girls alike. You WILL find us pushing you for that extra rep, a few extra pounds, or to go faster. You WILL find us laying on the floor, leaving sweat angels, and searching for the breath we can’t find after the workout. Then you’ll be begging to come back and do it again.
