Wine Country CrossFit

“I’ve done CrossFit for one month and my body is already stronger and I have more energy. Wine Country CrossFit is a great place to get an amazing workout, whatever your skill level or goals. The positive encouraging attitude is key, and the coaches are good about catering to each person.”

Second, we have the Level II page live on our website, and the participation criterion is clearly explained. Check it out here.

Third, May 27th is Memorial Day, and Wine Country CrossFit will be closed.

Finally, we are inspired by your hard work and commitment to building strength and health, and we thank you for that! Have a great weekend,

-Beth

I organized this morning at 7AM to get a page up on our website that will contain the Level II criterion, but our tech guy had 3 sick children at home and couldn’t deliver as promised.

Frosting from the Can
