Enjoy Your Long Weekend

I am off to Whistler. Ains is going to be teaching the 9 and 10am classes on Saturday. Reminder the gym is closed on Monday, however I believe Robyn and Annie are going to be throwing down at 9am on Monday. Perhaps Robyn can again leave a post on the comments of this blog to confirm. Please be aware that even though Robyn is a CrossFit coach, she is not teaching the classes as she is going to be working out herself. However I'm sure she will help you in the setup and what you can do.
