Hey!
Congratulations to Dyshekia! She got 2 new levels today! Sunday is both open gym time and a coached class for getting your overall level. THIS WEEK you will see 3 assessments: API, weightlifting, and rowing on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. If you haven't been paying attention, we train for and assess 2-3 every month!! June's assessments will be Flexibility, Kettlebell, and Front Squat. I know that many of you don't like to look at the workouts ahead of time, but at least look at the last week of every month for the assessment days!
Next Monday, we will only have 1 class and that's at 9. We will do Murph and it will be all leveled out, so no worries about having to do 100 pull-ups!
There is a local DEKA mile competition that you might be interested in on June 18th. Here is the info.

The DEKA events are held nationwide and your “DEKA MARK” (time to complete all ten zones) will be ranked on SPARTAN RACE’s DEKA Leaderboard along with other athletes. That being said, while this can be a competitive event, it is also designed for all levels. For those that are not interested in competing, it’s still a great way to measure where your fitness level is currently, and then use it as a benchmark to see how your fitness improves over time.
In addition to individual prizes and awards, we will be having a
GYM vs. GYM COMPETITION. The top gym will be crowned EVENT CHAMPION based on their gym’s top 3 marks (at least three individuals from the gym must be competing in the same event).
