WEEKLY NEWS FROM TJ's Gym

We've got lots to say this week, so please be sure you read the whole blog!

Message from TJ: 

Why We Are Doing the CrossFit Open.....Again.
In the next two weeks, as a member of the TJ's Gym community, you are going to be asked to participate in the CrossFit Open (see details below at the end of the announcements section). But why, you ask?  First, let me answer for the newbies who have no idea what I'm talking about.  The Open is a chance for our community to not only test our fitness, but to have a little fun.  It's something different and it's a way to get slightly out of your comfort zone and push some limits a bit over the course of five weeks.  It will also allow you to bond with the members of your home gym while having a little friendly competition against the other TJ's Gyms in the county.  You'll be held accountable to a hard workout (whatever that means for you) once weekly for five weeks, and you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment when it's over. Trust me.
To my veterans, those of you who have experienced the Open fervors of 2010-14 and the subsequent dark years where the Open became an after thought: Here is the honest truth. I believe that CrossFit has now made the Open truly accessible for anyone and everyone, with various scaling options and age categories. I believe in its merits and its intentions, for anyone and everyone. But most of all, it gives us yet another opportunity to come together as a community, which is one of the cornerstones of TJ's Gyms.

I hope you all seriously consider giving this a go, and I will be cheering you on the whole way.
