New space updates & May schedule

Who knows where time goes, but it's already May 1 next Friday!
That means that we get the keys to the corner building next week and start renovations right away.

Our contractors will set up bins in the parking lot and we will be doing demolition on Friday afternoon and Saturday all day.
If any members of our community have time and a hand to lend to us, it would be greatly appreciated!

March 2012 - construction in our current space
Please note the schedule change for weekend Capoeira classes in May; starting next weekend, class will be on Sundays at 11am. Weather permitting, class will be held in the Turf Playground on 13th.

Some exciting schedule additions and changes coming mid-May when the additional gym space is ready - stay tuned!

Next Programming Cycle

Hi folks,
The last several weeks have focused on strict upper body pushing and pulling with some pretty tough tempos. We have also been following a gruelling tempo front and back squat program. This is the last week that we will emphasize the strict upper body push and pull. From there we will move into some kipping skill work. Let's finish up the week with some strong and disciplined work! I promise it will pay off when you go back to kipping. As for the squat work, expect to still see higher volume and frequency but without the challenging tempo.

Happy Training!

Darci

Flux School of Human Movement is Growing!

Darci and I are excited to announce to our members that our space at Flux School of Human Movement is growing!

Yes - it is finally happening in 2 stages. Stage One Begins May 1st!

In Stage One Flux we will be taking over the corner lot next to our current building. This means we will have another completely renovated space to hold additional and simultaneous classes (WODS, Capoeira, Gymnastics, Kids/ Teens' Classes, Movement, Mobility, Lifting, a new COMPETITIVE CrossFit Stream) AND a brand new outdoor Parkour and CrossFit space! Our Flux Climbing Walls will soon be open as well! Yeah for Spring!

Stage One is an in-between stage while we wait for Stage Two ... the new construction (we can't give any more details on this stage just yet - sorry!). I promise to let you all know soon ... don't even think about trying to pull it out of Darci!

Happy Fluxing!
Charity (and Darci and the rest of our amazing Flux team)
