This our first weekend of the summer where we will be closed on Sundays. Saturday is the Team WOD followed by Barbell club and Olympic Weightlifting. For mobility work through our three core mWODs.
As a reminder, this Saturdays team WOD will benefit the team of Tap Essential Dancers from Erie who will travel to NYC this summer to compete. We are asking for any donation to help get them to NYC. This is a first for the city of Erie and the group includes one of our own Hannah Borczon!! The girls will put on a small 10 minute performance before the WOD. Please come out this Saturday to support FBO and the Tap Essential Dancers!!
