OPEN GYM 071811

OPEN GYM WILL BE HELD TODAY FROM NOON-8PM TODAY...

IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, DON'T FORGET TO THROW YOU TEAM TOGETHER AND REGISTER FOR OUR FIGHT FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ASKED WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THE FGB FUNDRAISER BEING RUN THROUGH MAINSITE AND OURS.

THE PROCEEDS OF THE FIGHT FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS BEING HELD AT CROSSFIT GROTON WILL BE GOING DIRECTLY TO THE WOUNDED WARRIORS PROJECT TO HELP DISABLED VETS. THE PROCEEDS OF THE MAINSITE ONE GOES TO A FOUNDATION THAT PROVIDES TUITION SUPPORT TO THE CHILDREN OF SPECIAL OPERATION TROOPS THAT HAVE PASSED IN BATTLE. BOTH CAUSES ARE VERY NOBLE, HOWEVER, I CHOSE TO GO WITH THE WOUNDED WARRIORS PROJECT DUE TO THE FACT THAT OUR GYM HAS SEVERAL MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED OVERSEAS.

ON THAT NOTE, I ALSO WANT TO PRESS UPON THE FACT THAT THE TONE OF OUR FUNDRAISER IS MEANT TO BE FUN. IT WON'T ENTAIL THE REGULAR INTENSITY LEVELS THAT OUR GYM RETAINS UNLESS YOU WANT THEM TO. IF YOUR TEAM WANTS TO SHOW UP AND DO 5 REPS OF EACH EXERCISE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, WHO CARES. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT YOU WILL BE RAISING MONEY THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE.

THANKS! TIM
