We can all make a difference. With one workout we can all be a guiding light.
This October both of our locations will be hosting the Finding the Light Workout in support of the Fighting Blindness Foundation and in honor of blindness awareness month during our regular Saturday class times!
The workout was programmed by Kym Dekeyrel, competitive CrossFit athlete and 2021 Fittest on Earth in the vision division.
