This Wednesday we will have another great workout for you, “”Not so Awful Annie”. It’s a play on the classic “Annie” workout but with a little extra spice with some heavy power cleans.

Beyond just a great workout, we are excited to announce that we are going to have some guest assistant coaches for this class to work on your jump rope skills. We are going to have coaches from “Mute Sports Equipment” (they are a jump rope manufacturer) to help lead the jump rope-specific warm-up to the day. Whether you are still looking to master singles, doubles, or dreaming of triples this is a great chance to get some great coaching from some subject matter experts.

Our partners from “Mute Sports Equipment” will be there for all the classes on Wednesday, so we are hoping to see you then.

For tomorrow’s workout we will be doing a special workout in remembrance for all those people that lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks. It is well over 20 years ago but even today we can still feel it effects. While this was a tragic day filled with senseless loss, it was also a day that united us in ways we could never imagine.

In addition to the day’s honorary WOD happening at the gym, we also hope to accumulate 413 rope climbs as the Cove community. The number is representive of all the first responders (police and fire) who lost their lives during the WTC tragedy. If you don’t have an official rope climb, please do not worry about that. There is always a scaled version that will allow you to participate (for example, two modified rope climbs).

Thank you for participating and paying tribute to the 2,997 people who were killed in the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and on the United Airlines Flight 93.
