*Next On Ramp Class Date Starts Monday, April 23rd, 2012*
On Ramp is a prerequisite and will prepare you to safely complete a regular class. A new session will start on Monday, April 23rd. These classes run three times a week for two weeks. The next open on ramp will begin April 23rd. There are no more than 10 people per session so that we can ensure our athletes get the attention they need and can graduate feeling confident in their ability and knowledge of CrossFit. If you would rather complete the On Ramp individually or if these days and times don’t work for you, then we have a 5 session personal training option as well. These personal training sessions will also prepare you in movements and progressions like the class. If you are not sure which is the best path for you to take in order to reach your fitness goals please call us and make a free appointment for and assessment with one of our certified trainers.

*The Vagabond No Grain Challenge will start on Monday, April 30th, 2012.*
The Vagabond No Grain Challenge is coming upon us and more details will be posted as the time comes around. We are looking at mid April time as the start date and it will last 50 days long. Our last No Grain Challenge was a huge success, and we saw some great results with Vagabond. For everyone who is new to Vagabond, and the No Grain Challenge, the rules are simple. You are simply going to try to eat No Grains for 50 days. This will be by honor system, and if you slip up and have a grain product, no worries, just get back on track and keep going forward. We will score the winners by most weight lost, inches lost in the hip, and inches lost in the waist. We will also test 3 different workouts, and we will re-test them after the 50 days is up, to see your improvement in these categories. This is meant to be a community build up as well, as everyone struggles with eating clean, and we have so many temptations out there in the world. However, if we join as one gym, and as one group, we can all make it through the 50 days with no problem. If you question yourself if you can make it that long without your precious Grains, then ask other Vagabonds, how they did it, and how they do it now! We want as many people to participate in this Challenge as possible. There will be a 15$ registration fee, where at the end of the challenge the pool of money will given to the top performers in the No Grain Challenge. The only way you can see if you can go without Grains for 50 days is giving it a try, and see what the results bring you!
