Predator Masters Mixed Sex Pairs Comp
Our very own Predator Masters Mixed Sex Pairs Competition takes place this Saturday, and we're excited to see Lise and Dave representing us in the 70+ category!
There's still time to get involved. Just message us if you'd like to take part, and we'll help find you a partner and send over a CrossFit Cheltenham discount code.
We're still looking for a few more volunteers to help with judging on Saturday. If you're around and can lend a hand, get in touch and we'll send you all the details.
Not feeling up for judging? We can always use a hand moving equipment or DJing, or you're more than welcome to just come along and cheer everyone on.
HIT45 will be the only class on Saturday but at a slightly earlier time of 7:40am.
Thanks for being part of the CrossFit Cheltenham community. Have a great rest of your week and here's to a great October!
Steve, Bizzie, and the CrossFit Cheltenham Coaching Team
