Friday 6/20

We have some events coming up in the near future for those that are interested. The next competition that we have been invited to is actually an Olympic Weightlifting meet. "Lift For A Purpose" is a charity event that donates to Steves Club National Program. The Steve's Club National Program is a donation based program which aims to promote health, fitness, and personal development in at-risk or underserved youth. The program was started in 2007 by Steve Liberati in Camden, NJ. Since this time, Steve's Club has evolved into a nationally based program with numerous affiliates, fund-raisers, and events which take place all over the country. Steve's Club has been successful in changing countless young lives and in giving them a positive outlet which keeps them away from drugs, gangs, and violence. This year the event will be held at CrossFit Strongtown in Southbury on July 12th. RedZone took home the win last year with Nick G. winning his weight class and overall lifts. This is a very well run event and is catered for novice to intermediate lifters.

Here is the link with some more information and registration. Please let one of the coaches know if you plan registering, this way we can plan accordingly and have strong RedZone showing!
