As you all know, we’ve started to outgrow our current space. Our little 750-square-foot exercise floor gets pretty crowded when we have classes of 9-12 people trying to do thrusters or box jumps. Therefore, we are incredibly excited to announce that we will be expanding into the next-door unit within a few weeks!
The unit next door will become our new exercise floor, and our current space will become a warm-up, cool-down and secondary workout space. We’ll have more room to spread out (no more weaving through a sea of barbells mid-WOD!), we’ll have room for more equipment (like a fancy new pull-up rig!), and we’ll have room to accomodate new faces as our happy little CrossFit Manatee family continues to grow.
As with any construction project, this expansion will cause a certain amount of annoyance and inconvenience while we are in the process of setting up the spaces. Your patience and help will go a long way to making the move as smooth and painless as possible.
Work on the space next door has already begun, and will continue for the next couple of weeks. Those who are interested in helping out will have chances to do so, and information about those opportunities will be posted on this blog, on Facebook, and on the Announcements board at the gym.
So get excited for your bigger, better CrossFit Manatee — it’s happening!
