First Week of September Programming at Urban Athletic Club: Ignite Your Fitness
Welcome to the first week of September at Urban Athletic Club! This week is jam-packed with workouts designed to ignite your fitness journey and align perfectly with our September themes: Electricity Discipline: Gymnastics, System: Ventilation, Progression: Press, Virtuosity: Barbell, and more.
Remember, all workouts are scaled to meet each athlete’s level—we offer 8 levels of programming to ensure you get the most out of each session. This week’s programming is in Chalk It Pro (CHIP).
Monday: Labor Day – ‘Stone Garden’
Kick off your week—and the holiday—with a special Labor Day workout. ‘Stone Garden’ involves a buy-in and cash-out of JUMP ROPES, sandwiching 6 grueling rounds of THRUSTERS, BURPEES, and CARDIO CALORIES. And we don’t stop there; we’re wrapping it up with some core and shoulder accessory work to ensure you’re all rounded off.
Tuesday: ‘Pressing and Pine Cone’
- Pressing Based on Levels: Whether you’re at a lower level, focusing on PUSH-UPS, or at a higher level working on your PRESSES, Tuesday is all about upper body strength. Antagonist movements will also be incorporated to balance out your workout.
- Pine Cone: End your Tuesday with a 10-minute AMRAP featuring POWER CLEANS, JERKS, and BURPEE BOX JUMPS. It’s quick, intense, and will get your heart pumping.
Wednesday: ‘Ring Skill and Folding Chair’
- Ring Skill Work: Following our Electricity Discipline: Gymnastics theme, we dive into RING SKILL work. Perfect your technique and body control.
- Folding Chair: The MET-CON for the day is a 14-minute AMRAP of TOES TO RING, KETTLEBELL SWINGS, and JUMP ROPES. This will test your endurance and your ability to maintain form under fatigue.
Thursday: ‘Deadlifts and Four Wheel Drive’
- Deadlifts with Isometric and Antagonist Accessory: Work on your DEADLIFTS and round off the session with ISOMETRIC and ANTAGONIST ACCESSORY exercises.
- Four Wheel Drive: The finale for Thursday is a 20-minute AMRAP that will challenge your limits and push you to achieve more.
Friday: ‘CrossFit® Open 19.1 and Bench Press’
- CrossFit® Open 19.1: Get ready to tackle 19 WALL BALLS and 19 CALORIES in this classic CrossFit workout.
- Bench Press and Accessory Work: Don’t worry; we didn’t forget about the bench. Additional BENCH PRESS and accessory work will ensure you leave the gym feeling accomplished.
Saturday: ‘Pagoda’
A grueling five-round-for-time workout featuring MUSCLE-UPS, SQUATS, and JUMP ROPES, ‘Pagoda’ is designed to test your limits while offering a full-body workout.
