Noon class is cancelled.
Matt King’s shoes hang above us in the gym to remind us that life is too short to not be passionate, to not love, to not try new things and to not greet everyday with as much passion as the next.
Matt tragically died two years ago today while riding his bike on Main Street. We miss you Matt and we do this workout to celebrate your life.
Please feel free to come into the gym to workout with us, no matter who you are. 6 AM, 9:30 AM, and all evening classes.

I love these pictures. Thanks for posting.
23.11 with banded pull ups
(did not do back squats. They were not on the board…..)
Good workout! 22:46 with blue bands and 32# sandbag.
PS: as a tall guy, there is basically only one jump rope that fits me, and someone(s) keeps tying 8 or 10 tight knots in it to shorten it down, then hanging it back up that way. It would be nice if you’d take the knots out afterwards… it takes me a while to do it, and then the rope is full of kinks and hard to use.
i recommend buying your own rope, and do not leave it at the gym
Agreed. A few of us have jump ropes from this company and they’re awesome. They’re a little pricier than what you can find in stores, but each is custom-made to a length that suits your height. I HIGHLY recommend them.

I’ve got an extra one, still in the wrapper and it’s got your name on it. It’s in my bag, so the next time I see you, it’s yours. I’m going to try to make the 0630 class tomorrow. I can leave it in the office for you.
Sure, I have my own… but in a way, asking people to untie the extremely tight knots before hanging the rope back up is a little like asking them to wipe the toilet seat if they pee on it. Not unreasonable to ask, is it?
hmm have you seen the gym toilet?
What a privilege to do a workout in honor of such a fine young man as Matt.
The longest WOD I’ve ever done.
