Watch this video of Natalie Woolfolk doing snatches and Clean and Jerks. Watch her form on her jerks, we will be teaching you some of these techniques today. Also note how she takes that big breath before any of that weight moves. She is amazing!

***Watch for a Basic Movements class to be posted soon. It will probably be next week sometime. If you have not taken this class yet please post what time would work best for you. Thank you.***

REST DAY



You will start seeing a rest day posted on a weekday now, which could be on any day of the week. The rest day will rotate due to the trainer's schedules at the Fire station. There will still be 5 days of the week you will be able to train. Check the schedule the first of the week so you can arrange your training days. Also, coming soon..... Everyone will need to sign-up for the classes they want to attend. This will help keep class sizes from getting too big and help the trainer's see who is coming to which class times. We will also be changing our payment system. We will let you know when these changes will take place. Don't worry...change is good! These changes are to help make things easier for everyone. :)
