*The BodPod is coming back*
Thursday February 15th Mobile Body Metrics will be parked out front of Verve again. They were last here 3 months ago. We’ve asked them to come to Verve quarterly to give you guys the opportunity to see the progress you’ve made throughout the year. Have you made some changes to your workout routine, diet, sleep, etc? Are these changes taking you in the right direction? This is an easy, convenient way to help answer that question. Click here to go to their bookings calendar and get signed up. $50 for first time testing, $40 if this is a re-test.

*Open Skills Workshop*
Barbell cycling, gymnastics efficiency, pacing vs going all out, etc. Saturday February 17th, 9am-12pm Matt Chan will be helping answer these questions and more to get you prepped for the Open. This is not a sit down Q&A, this will be several hours of moving and practicing. Per Matt, “We WILL do a lot of moving, so no additional workout is needed.” This workshop is open to Verve members at no charge. Non Verve members will need to pay a drop in fee. Please sign up in MBO for this workshop.
*We are hosting the CrossFit Aerobic Capacity Specialty Course*
This is a one full day course, at Verve on Saturday March 24th. The Aerobic Capacity Specialty Course is appropriate for all CrossFit populations ranging from the day-to-day CrossFitter to the competitive CrossFit athlete looking to create a more robust and efficient aerobic system. Coach Chris Hinshaw details how he integrates various training methodologies into CrossFit programming to maximize overall athletic performance. Participants leave with a better understanding of how to develop their own cardiovascular “engine” and apply this knowledge to a training scenario for individuals or gym populations.
The cost for this course is $349, click here to register.
