This event has quickly sparked a lot of interest.  Collaborating with a Crossfit gym is something I've wanted to do since opening my first location over 7 years ago and I couldn't have chosen a better facility to do it with.  

You're not going to want to miss this show.  First of it's kind as far as I know...

Can Ocean State's Crossfitter's hang w TOP Stength's Strongmen and Women?  How will TOP Strength's athletes handle metabolic conditioning?

We're going to find out.

This is going to be an absolute blood bath.

Thanks all!
