"Pre-Phase Competition"(2.17.2012)

James has put some good work in over the last few months, by dialing in on his nutrition, being consistent within the gym, and following the program that was layed out in front of him. Last year, he was not ready to complete all six weeks of Opens Competition. However what a year makes, and he is ready to reach his goals! Great Job James!

B. Vagabond CrossFit Kids in March

Hey all Vagabond Parents,

We will be starting our CrossFit Kids Program on Wednesday, March 7th. The time of the class will be at 3:45 pm, and will run to 4:30 pm. This section of Vagabond will be run by Coach Heather Dunlap, and will be a great class for ages between 7 and 13 years old. The class will be run like our adult classes, but with a little added fun, and a good mix of fun time, but also teaching the basic movements, that will allow you children to become active, and build towards becoming future athletes. Take advantage of this program, and get your children in a positive setting at a young age. Coach Heather has worked with all age children for over 20 plus years, so your children will be in good hands. Contact Heather with any questions at her email address.  [email protected]

Also visit the new Vagabond Kids Program Website with information and any questions that you have.
