The March Calorie Challenge Has Concluded

33 Members measured their effort on the bike, rower, and ski erg over the course of the month to rack up as many calories as possible. Closing in on a goal of 3,500, 7,000, or an aggressive 10,500 calories.. 1 lb, 2 lb, 3 lb’s worth.

We challenged you all to log this on the whiteboard as an ongoing challenge to promote extra cardio as some baseline accessory work. We have some recognizable achievements that we think you should hear to men and women who tallied up the most this month… are they someone who is usually in your class? Give em’ a pat on the back!

We also brought a new idea to March with the 50/50 Raffle Challenge! Anyone who bought a ticket for $5 would be entered into a “split the pot”. For every Calorie you burned on the challenge you received an entry. The winner of the drawing at the end of the month receives 50% of the players pool of cash while the other 50% goes directly towards our Equipment Fund!

Last, was the Guy’s vs. Girls challenge. That’s right, we threw down the gauntlet and love a little friendly competition to make things interesting. We also have the community total listed below! Thank you all for participating. Don’t forget, this month we have prizes associated with the referral challenge! Be sure to drop our name and an invite to someone you know or is seeking an alternative to their fitness routine, want to become more physically fit to pursue life, or want to feel empowered by safely developing new skills. I know I was extremely grateful that somebody introduced me to CrossFit. Who will you invite to try it??
