This is our last Bring a Friend Day until the fall! Bring a friend (or two) and come join in the fun at 10 a.m. Make sure to swing by the gym this afternoon for our CrossFit Games Watching Party  – we’ll have a grill and some beers, so bring some meat and a chair (if desired) and come by to hang out.

Kettlebell Swing

Conditioning:

20 minutes to complete:

Working with a partner, “I go, you go Helen”

3 rounds:

  • 400m run

Partners complete the 400m runs together, and then alternate on the KB swings and pull ups.
