The Cause:
On Saturday, July 6th join the entire CrossFit affiliate community to raise money for a great cause!
Affiliates all over the world will do the "Hope" workout on the same Saturday to raise money for St. Jude Children's Hospital among other organizations that work to cure catastrophic children's illnesses.
Go here to see the Roots fundraising page, make your own donation page, or donate at the event.
The Breakfast:
Stay after the workout for a BIG breakfast. We've rented the largest skillet we've ever seen! We'll provide the eggs, bacon, and sausage. Please sign-up to bring an item from the list at the front desk.
The Workout:
"Hope"
Three rounds of:
Burpees
75 pound Power snatch
Box jump, 24 inch box
75 pound Thruster
Chest to bar Pull-ups
"Hope" has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of "rotate," the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.

CURIOUS ABOUT THIS THING CALLED CROSSFIT?
Break it down for me.
CrossFit is a back-to-basics, no gimmicks, strength and conditioning fitness program. Constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity are the foundation of our program.
Ah, what? We know, it can sound complicated. To find out more, go here. Better yet, email us to attend a Free Class & Intro Session.
The next Free Class & Intro Session is Tuesday, July 16th at 7:00pm.
