Crossfit – Bring your friend event – 12/16 to 12/20

Bros, my CrossFit gym in Hamilton is having “bring your friend” week on Dec 16-20. You can join any class for absolutely free (you can come every day if you wish). Being a member for 6+ years and having this gym to fully change my life (I joined it before finding F3), I can’t recommend it enough and CrossFit in general as system of training.
