– Welcome to FNGs Jared James, Rich Riehl, Ryan Riehl (2.0) and Peter Arnold. Also to those pax posting at Stonehenge for the first time. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Very strong work by the pax today. YHC was smoked at the end.
– Pax were fairly quiet with virtually no mumble chatter, particularly during the Elevens and Jacob’s Ladder. #toofocusedtotalk
– Brrrr! Defintely a chill in the air today and most of the pax had abundant frost on their feet. Hence the Backblast name.
– Lots of questions from the newer pax about additional F3 workouts in CLT South and throughout the city. Great to hear and folks should check out as many different workouts as possible. Go to “Find A Workout” on the site for a complete list. #varietymakesyoustronger
