Hey athletes,
We have another round of equipment upgrades, new training options and new important dates as we head into the holiday season.
Here's what's happening at JH CrossFit this month.
────────────────────────
New Equipment Arriving at JH CrossFit
We're continuing to invest in the gym training experience and giving members more options during class and open gym.
Our latest additions include:
New 60- and 80-lb dumbbells
Rogue Adjustable Bench
Two Rogue Echo Dog Sleds
Two Rogue Pulling Ropes with Eyelets for sled exercises
Rogue Elastic Hoop Bands for hip and leg warm-ups
A few important notes about the new sleds:
Beginning Saturday, Nov. 7, both sleds will be available for indoor use. They are equipped with specialized plastic skis designed to move across our rubber gym flooring without damaging it.
Please do not use the sleds outside.
We also ask members to be mindful of coaches, other athletes and available floor space when using this equipment.
Remember that scheduled classes always take priority. Please avoid setting up sled exercises or other open-gym activities that interfere with class programming, instruction or movement throughout the facility.

HYROX Programming Now Available
Interested in training for a HYROX race?
JH CrossFit now offers Mayhem's HYROX programming to all-access members.
HYROX combines running and functional fitness exercises, requiring athletes to develop strength, endurance and conditioning across several different movements.
With our latest equipment additions, JH has many of the tools needed to support this programming, including sleds, pulling ropes, SkiErgs, RowErgs, sandbags and kettlebells.
Email me or talk with a coach if you're interested in getting started.

Upcoming Hero Workouts
November brings two special workouts recognizing military service members and raising awareness for veteran mental health.
Mission 22 Workout | Saturday, Nov. 7
Mayhem Faith and Mayhem Gym are partnering with Mission 22 for a special fundraiser workout supporting efforts to end veteran suicide.
The workout is part of a broader effort to raise awareness and support for veterans facing mental health challenges after military service.
CHAD Hero WOD | Wednesday, Nov. 11
Reminder: CHAD is this Wednesday, Nov. 11. As we shared in October’s newsletter, our weekly box step-up challenge helped us prepare for this Veterans Day Hero WOD. After the de-load week, we’ll come together to take on CHAD.
On Veterans Day, we'll take on CHAD, a CrossFit Hero Workout performed annually to honor Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson.
The workout pays tribute to Wilkinson's military service while raising awareness for veteran suicide prevention and the importance of mental health support within the veteran community.

We'll see you in class!
