guest-days-3

You have probably tried to explain CrossFit to at least one person who just did not get it.

Well . . . Now is your chance to help them understand!

January 4, 11, 18, 25  CrossFit OIB is offering Guest Days at 8:15am and 6:30pm. That’s every Wednesday in January at 8:15am and 6:30pm! Whether it is a friend, a spouse or significant other, a neighbor, a co-worker, or an enemy that you just want to torture for an hour, bring them in and let them experience CrossFit first hand.

We have found that people who work out with friends have more focus, more accountability, are more competitive, more consistent and have more fun with their workouts.

So go ahead and introduce the gift of good health to someone you know! Guests can attend either the 8:15am or 6:30pm class accompanied by a CFOIB athlete. As always, the workout will be scaled & tailored to their level of fitness & a coach will be there to guide them safely along the way.

No need to sign them up ahead of time, just register yourself for the class you’re bringing your buddy to and we’ll handle the rest!

GUEST DAYS WORKOUT for January 4th

16 Minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds as Possible)

Go hard on the Assault Bike, but WALK with the kettlebells. We don’t care about the total time, just the two efforts on the assault bike.
