Get ready people.  Our next Sunday Rest Day, April 29th, we will host our first ever Dance WOD!

  Masterminded by our very own McCoy, the WOD will involve heavy lifting and metcons with built in rests, where during the rests You.  Must.  Dance.  Requests will be taken, McCoy will simultaneously DJ and MC, and Lara will be judging dance quality, rhythm, and originality, this promises to be our most outrageous and ambitious gym project yet. 

Post a YEAH! to comments if you plan on coming in and crushing the Dance WOD.

Have a ball.
