These progressions are designed to build your strength, improve your technique, and enhance your overall performance.

Virtuosity: Bodyweight
In Virtuosity, we’re going back to basics with Bodyweight mastery. This month is all about refining your Bodyweight movements, ensuring that every push-up, pull-up, and burpee is performed with precision and grace. It’s the perfect time to polish those fundamental skills that form the bedrock of all athletic endeavors.
Fun: Benchmarks
Get ready for the thrill of Benchmarks! This March, we’re bringing in the renowned CrossFit ® “named” workouts, including the Girl and Hero WODs. These challenges are not just workouts; they are milestones that allow you to measure your progress, set new goals, and achieve personal bests in a fun and competitive environment.
Assessments
This month’s assessments include Weightlifting, Aerobic Power Intervals, and a special focus on Flexibility. You’ll notice additional flexibility, foam rolling, and mobility work integrated into our warmups and extra credit sessions, ensuring that you’re not only stronger but also more agile and less prone to injury.
Embrace the LIT Philosophy
As we embark on this exciting month, let’s recommit to the LIT (Levels, Intent, Themes) philosophy.
