With only a day away until the Welded Open begins a lot of people in the gym are asking “why should I do the Welded Open?  I am not good enough!”.   Well I hate to have to break it to everyone at the gym but neither is anyone else!  Yes this includes all coaches, members and every other gym in the Reno area.   Most of us have a better chance at hitting the lotto then making it to the Welded games and those who have a higher chance still don’t break over 1%!

Who is Henry the Rescue dog you ask?  He was a dog who was severely mistreated and was scheduled to be euthanize before Canine Rehabilitation Center and Sanctuary came to his rescue.  CRCS is a local non kill shelter that takes in dogs no matter what their condition or status, which happened to be very bad in Henry’s case.   We were so moved by Henry’s story that we decided to help CRCS cause and hold a fundraiser for this Saturday from 11am to 1pm at Double Edge.  We will be raffling away prizes and having a BBQ to help raise money for CRCS while we also close out the Welded Open with the final workout of the year!

The definition of Welded is “constantly varied functional movements executed at high intensity”.   The constantly varied functional movements is what makes Welded so appealing to so many people, and is also why you also seem to have a new kind of sore every week! To make sure that we are keeping things fresh and always varied we are taking our workouts to the beach!  On June 6th we will be having the first ever Saturday Class at Kings Beach in Lake Tahoe! The beach WOD will begin at 9am on the sandy beaches of Kings Beach and will include basic functional movements with the addition of some light swimming.
