Blace travelled across to Manchester today to CrossFit 3D to compete in the The Teen Gauntlet competition. He put on a brilliant performance and not only won his age category but was complemented by Sam Briggs on his performance. (He even got a crafty photo with her). Awesome work Blace, you are a real credit to your box.

CrossFit Harrogate Social: 19 October
Play on the Stray! We are planning another Family Play on the Stray Day on Saturday, the 19th of October (please note the date change as it was originally posted for this weekend). The plan is to have the morning WOD as a whole box WOD (CrossFit kids and all other members) followed later by an afternoon of games and picnicking on the Stray. If the weather doesn't cooperate, then we can always fall back to the box for an indoors picnic and games!
The WOD will be held during the 0900 class on the 19th and all of the teens, juniors and infant classes will be conducted as per the normal schedule.
Please let us know if you are interested!
Thanks and apologies for the date change!

The WolfPack Dominance series kicks off this weekend for Harrogate with the Ladies Masters Team heading off to Leeds. They will be getting there at 11am on Sunday.

Correction: Trial Morning Class
It has been pointed out that I cannot count, so I am going to try this again. The trial morning class will run for two months starting on 30 September. The change is that the last class of the trial will be Friday, 22 November (not 23 October as I originally posted in the newsletter). I apologize for any confusion I may have caused!
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 30 September through 22 November, we will hold a class from 06:15 to 07:00. The first two weeks of this trial will be programmed as an induction course and all classes after that will follow the regular programming. Again, this is a trial to gauge demand for the timeslot. If you are interested in signing up for this induction, please contact us at info@crossfitharrogate.com.

Ladies Weight Lifting Courses - Beginning 01 September
The next iteration of the Ladies Weightlifting Course will begin on 01 September with the Deadlift. We are changing the structure of the course this time around to accommodate your busy schedules. Instead of running a 6 week course, we will run six individual sessions.

The sessions will start at 0900 on the Sunday listed and run for one hour according to the following schedule:
01 September Deadlift
08 September Front & Back Squat
15 September Press Series
22 September Clean and Jerk
29 September Overhead Squat
06 October Snatch
Sessions will cost £5 each. Please sign up via Team Up and pay in cash at the box prior to the start of class.
Just as a note, another iteration of this course will begin on 20 October and this one will be opened up to the guys as well as the ladies!
If you have any questions, please contact me at kate@crossfitharrogate.com. Thanks!
