As many of you know we do the 1 rep max testing on most of our strength lifts, but one thing we haven’t had in our programming is retesting our fitness in metcons. One of the new things to look forward to is our test/retest program. These workouts will be twice a month with the first falling on the first Monday of the month and the other on the last Wednesday of the month. We know not every one can come every day so we wanted to give those people a chance to partake. My people who primarily do Lean workouts do not stress. Both workouts will be different! One of them will include more complex movements with that barbell I know all of you love and the other...Read more

Cecy’s Welded Story – Getting Out of the Comfort Zone Five months ago I joined Double Edge, the most amazing cross fit place in town. I never thought I would fall in love with working out. I always would do other things, perhaps going to the gym but, I never pushed myself, I never wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Double Edge has changed me.
