Happy Open Eve!

Any guesses on what Thursday evening's 5pm announcement of Open workout 18.1 will be?!  Come to the gym and watch the live announcement with us -- some of our AR athletes will even be doing (and/or test driving) the workout at 7pm that evening.

It's not too late to register for the 2018 Open!  Join in on the fun and register here on the CrossFit Games website (make sure to select Arena Ready as BOTH your affiliate and your team).  This Saturday will be the first of five "AR Open Saturdays" at the gym (click here for details), and you'll be able to register up until the online score submission deadline for 18.1 on Monday at 5pm.   

Still on the fence? Read this and then just do it already.  

The preview frame below of 16.5 at Arena Ready reminds me to to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Coach Walker for passing his CrossFit Level 2 Trainer Exam after taking the course last weekend.  I would be remiss if I didn't also give props to our newest Level 1 Trainers who have been shadowing/co-coaching/assisting for some time and are now also leading a few classes (with great feedback from our members to boot!): nice work Brooklyn Mike, Flying Squirrel, and LGB!!!  It's been fun having them -- as well as Lisa Mini Rex, Mighty Mini Kim, James, Catherine, and Nevada -- in the coaching fold as we approach the 2018 Open and what appears to be an exciting year ahead at AR!       

How about a little complimentary prehab strength work and a shakeout gasser to get us primed for 18.1?
